The conflict, and its outcome, is recorded in the Tukulti-Ninurta Epic, a poetic “victory song”, which has been recovered in several lengthy fragments, somewhat reminiscent of the earlier account of Adad-nīrāri's victory over Nazi-Maruttaš.[1] It would lend its form to later Assyrian epics such as that of Shalmaneser III, concerning his campaign in Ararat.[12] Written strictly from the Assyrian point of view, it provides a strongly biased narrative.
