Description
Français : Statue en bronze avec inscription du roi Assur-dan, vouée par un scribe d'Ishtar d'Arbèles, Shamshi-Bel. Découverte dans la région d'Urmiah. L'identité du roi est discutée : Deller et Grayson (RIMA 1 A.0.83.2001) l'identifient à Assur-dan I (1178-1133 av. J.-C.). Le cartel du Louvre indiquait Assur-dan II (933-912 av. J.-C.) au moment de la prise de la photographie. La base du Louvre https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010120461 ne tranche pas entre Assurdan I, II ou III.
English: Bronze statue with inscription of King Assur-dan, dedicated by a scribe of Ishtar of Arbeles, Shamshi-Bel.

The identity of the king is disputed: Deller and Grayson (RIMA 1 A.0.83.2001) identify him with Ashur-dan I (1178-1133 BC). The Louvre cartel indicated Ashur-dan II (933-912 BC) when the picture was taken. The Louvre database https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010120461 does not decide between Assurdan I, II or III.

Translation in RIMA 1 (pp. 307-308): "To the goddess Ištar, the great mistress who dwells in Egašankalamma, mistress of Arbail, [his] mistress: For the life of Aššur-dān, king of [Assyria], his [lord], Šamšī-bēl, temple scribe, son of Nergal-nädin-ahi (who was) also scribe, for his life, his well-being, and the well-being of his eldest son, dedicated and devoted (this) copper statue weighing x minas. The name of this statue is: 'O goddess Istar, to you my ear (is directed)!'".
