weapons . . . Many I took alive; from some of these I cut off their hands to the writs, from
others I cut off their noses, ears and fingers; I put out the eyes of many of the soldiers. . . . I
burned their young men and women to death.”
The Assyrians would often attempt to get an area to surrender before attack.
