(i 24) I was attentive towards to the god Lugal-Marda. (With regard to) Eigikalama, his temple that is in Marad, which from the distant days no king of the past had seen its original foundation(s), I made an excavation pit and (then) I examined (and) checked the original foundation(s). Then, I discovered the foundation(s) of Narām-Sîn, the king of Babylon, an ancient ancestor, but I did not alter the inscription(s) bearing his name.
