I removed those gates and (then) secured their foundation(s) at the level of the water table using bitumen and baked brick.

At each of its gates, I fixed doors (made) of cedar with a facing of bronze (and) threshold(s) and nukuššû-fittings of cast copper. I stationed fierce wild bulls of copper and raging mušḫuššu-dragons at their door-jamb(s).
