520 _aThe aim of this paper is to examine the votive inscription and the carrier of Nergal-?reš, one of the most important governors under the reigns of Adad-n?r?r? III and Shalmaneser IV. Nergal-?reš’s votive macehead, Ass 10274 (VA 5929), contains the three-line inscription, one part of which was published by E. Weidner (1939-41). This study attempts, for the very first time, to present and interpret the complete inscription, an inserted part of which describes “the holy offering”, counting “650 cattle, 6000 sheep, 3000 (quantities of) flour (and) 1400 (quantities of) wine” that Nergal-?reš made for Aššur and Adad in 775. This was the year when Nergal-?reš was eponym for the second time. This textual evidence constitutes the last recorded source about the governor Nergal-?reš’s carrier, also demonstrating the role of the eponyms and describing the political situation of his period by using Aššur, the cultic center, as a focal point.
