The cone identifies the previous restorers as Kikkia (21st century BC), Ikunum (1867–1860 BC), Sargon I (1859 BC – ?), Puzur-Aššur II, and Aššur-nārāri I (1547–1522 BC) the son of Ishme-Dagan II (1579–1562 BC). The reference to Kikkia's original fortification of the city is repeated in one of the later king's, Salmānu-ašarēd III, own inscriptions. It was recovered from an old adobe wall three meters from the northern edge of the ziggurat.

He was succeeded by his son, Aššur-nadin-aḫḫē II.
