The Unfaithful Brother of Assyria

Shama shum okin, my unfaithful brother, for whom i performed many acts of kindness, and whom i had installed as king of babylon. I assembled soldiers, horses and chariots and placed them in his hands. He forgot these acts of kindness that i had done for him and constantly sought out evil deeds aloud with his lips. He lied to the citizens of babylon who had been devoted to assyria,. servants who belonged to me, and he spoke words of deceit with them. We can almost hear the betrayal, the hurt and the anger speaking directly his official inscriptions.
