The text on this tablet translates as:
I Untash-Napirisha, the son of Hubanummenna, the king of Anza and Susa, in order that I have my health and well being that I have no heart freezing bitter disaster (death). For that reason I build that sanctuary with a Kukkum of Ubqumia and gave it to Inshushinak, the god of Sijankuk. What has been built and improved by me, may it be preserved for me forever by Inshushinak.
