When news reached him that king Rusa I was moving against him, he turned back to Lake Urmia in forced marches and defeated a Urartian army in a steep valley of the Uaush (probably the Sahend, east of Lake Urmia, or further to the south, in Mannaea country), a steep mountain that reached the clouds and whose flanks were covered by snow.
Ketika mendengar kabar bahwa raja Rusas I dari Urartu bergerak melawannya, ia berbelok kembali ke Danau Urmia dengan tentaranya serta mengalahkan tentara Urartu pada lembah curam di Uaush (kemungkinan Sahend, sebelah timur Danau Urmia, atau lebih jauh ke selatan di negeri orang Mannaea), suatu gunung curam yang mencapai "awan-awan" dan bagian tepinya tertutup salju.
