| | //Description//: In the early days of the decipherment of cuneiform specific texts were chosen to proof proposed readings. This annalistic text from the reign of the Middle Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser I. is but one manuscript among many. The text served the Royal Asiatic Society as test case for the successful decipherment of Babylonian-Assyrian cuneiform. The manuscript in Berlin is one of the few well-preserved octagonal prisms with this particular composition that contains besides an extensive titulature of the king a minute description of his campaigns.
