"The Assyrian Rock Relief at Yagmur in the Tur Abdin publishes a
newly discovered rock relief in the Mazidagi Plain, at the western
end of the Tur Abdin in southeastern Turkey. The preserved remains
include an image of an Assyrian king, divine symbols and traces of
three panels of cuneiform inscription. Both the image and the panel
preserving the most coherent section of legible text can be dated
to the time of Tiglath-pileser I. The sequences which can be
deciphered relate to the king's penetration into the northwest
undertaken in the course of his third campaign against the Nairi
lands. The monument is studied in the context of our understanding
of the Assyrian expansion in this sector, together with a review of
the settlement pattern and political organisation of the Tur Abdin
as presented in Assyrian sources."
