Abstract
The text of the Inscription by Shilhak-inshushinak, the great ruler of Elam (c.1150- 1120 BC), is presented in this paper. In this 28-line inscription, as in his other inscription, the Ruler, introducing himself and his family, wishes them good health and long life. The text then explains the cause of the making of the inscription, granting a land to a person who has performed ritual service for him, and finally the expenditure of this ceremony.
