He describes the great walls built around Babylon by his father and the various additions which he caused to be built Lk described as a third great moat wall Nebuchadnezzar also tells of his build- ing irrigation canals, the quays on the shore of the Euphrates, of the build- ing of many tembles throughout Béby- lon, and the restoration of many an- clent buildings.
