Venka stelo de Esarhaddon
La steleo montras Esarhaddon starantan maldekstre en honoriga pozo. Li tenas bastonon en sia maldekstra mano, kune kun ŝnuro finiĝanta en ringo, kiu trapasas la lipojn de la du konkeritaj reĝoj surgenuiĝintaj antaŭ li. Lia dekstra mano adresas la diojn. Kojnoskribo kovras la tutan mezan basreliefan scenon.

Asshur
second son of Shem (Gen 10:22 ; 1Chr 1:17). He went from the land of Shinar and built Nineveh, etc. (Gen 10:11 ; 10:12). He probably gave his name to Assyria, which is the usual translation of the word, although the form Asshur is sometimes retained (Num 24:22; 24:24; Ezek 27:23), etc. In (Gen 2:14 ) "Assyria" ought to be "Asshur," which was the original capital of Assyria, a city represented by the mounds of Kalah Sherghat, on the west bank of the Tigris. This city was founded by Bel-kap-kapu about B.C. 1700. At a later date the capital was shifted to Ninua, or Nineveh, now Koyunjik, on the eastern bank of the river. (See CALAH; NINEVEH)
