I am Warpalawa, Tuwana's king, the Ruler, the Hero, [Muwa]ha[rani, the Ruler's] son.
I myself planted this vineyard,
and this Tarhunza of the Vineyard I set up.
For me he will walk well,
and here in which year he will come well for me,
to me there shall be 100 measures of ... ... 100 measures of wine.
The year in which I became king
in that year the enemies beneath my feet he put, did Tarhunza.
...
and to me may he grant long days, may Tarhunza!
