The army of Nidintu-Bêl held the Tigris; there it took its stand, and on account of the waters (the river) was unfordable. Thereupon I supported my army on (inflated) skins, others I made dromedary-borne, for the rest I brought horses[Next the army of Nidintu-Bêl snatched the whole Tigris; there it took its stop, and just because of major waters of the river which could not be cross(X)ed over.
