The cities and castles were burnt, the males put to the sword, the women, children, and cattle carried off.

Two kings of the Laki are mentioned, of whom one escaped, while the other was made prisoner, and conveyed to Assyria by the conqueror.

A rate of tribute was then imposed on the land considerably in advance of that to which it had previously been liable.

Besides this, to strengthen his hold on the country, the conqueror built two new cities, one on either bank of the Euphrates, naming the city on the left bank after himself, and that on the right bank after the god Asshur.

Both of these places were no doubt left well garrisoned with Assyrian soldiers, on whom the conqueror could place entire reliance.
Asshur-izir-pal's eighth campaign was nearly in the same quarter; but its exact scene lay, apparently, somewhat higher up the Euphrates.
Hazilu, the king of the Laki, who escaped capture in the preceding expedition, had owed his safety to the refuge given him by the people of Beth-Adina.
