It is on a stone block on the modern motorway to Agri, 10 km southeast of Horasan in Erzurum. It reads as follows; "By the might of God Haldi, Menua, the son of Ishpuini built this fortress to perfection (?). By the greatness of God Haldi, Menua, the son of Ishpuini (is) the mighty king, the great king, the king of the land of Bianili (and) lord of the city of Tushpa." Known by its copies, the inscription is not available anymore. |
