As was the custom of Assyrian kings, Tiglath-Pileser III inscribed his annals in word and picture on stone slabs that lined the palace walls. In the closeup of the example above, the cuneiform inscription of the text of the annals can be seen. The location of the battle scene is not known for sure. The prisoners in the lower scene are believed to be from the city of Astartu in Jordan.
