| | Calculated Frightfulness of Ashur Nasir Apal, A.T. Olmstead |
 | | Names familiar with the conquests of Tiglath Pileser are recognized, such as Hatu, Hataru, Nishtun, Irbidi, Matqia, Arsania, the earliest name of river and town which was to cause the whole land to be called Arzanene, Tela at the Tigris ford, and Halua. |
 | | He did not penetrate as far north as did Tiglath Pileser or as his son Shalmaneser was to do, but he did in some measure check the growing power of Urartu and the successes of his son, ephemeral as they were, were based on his own expeditions. |
 | | More to the west, the road to the Euphrates and..to the sea was blocked by the Aramaeans who, since the days of Tiglath Pileser, had swept over the whole steppe region which is today once more in the hands of the wandering Arabs. |
