Assurbanipal and the triumph ritual (1)

Text
R I 10, 17-30:
As for Tammaritu, Pa’ē and Humban-haltaš [III], who had excercised the sovereignty of Elam one after the other but whom I had subjected to my yoke through the might of Aššur and Ištar, and Uwaite’, the king of Arabia, whose defeat I had accomplished by command of Aššur and Ištar and whom I had brought out of his land to Assyria - after I had gone up into E-mašmaš, the seat of their dominion, to make sacrifices, and had performed the rites of the akītu house in the presence of Ištar/Ninlil (nin.líl), the mother of the great gods, the beloved consort of Aššur, I had them grasp the yoke of the carriage and and they drew it under me as far as the gate of the sanctuary.
