[Text on the Left Side of the Marker]:

Architectural complexes dating from the same period (9th or 8th c. B.C.) and of similar design were found near the northern and southern edges of the mound. Through the years they variously interpreted as stables, storehouses or marketplaces. Recent research seems to corroborate their identification as horse-stables.

[Text across the Bottom of the Marker]:

"I besieged and conquered Samaria. Led away as booty 27,290 inhabitants of it. I formed from among them a contingent of 50 chariots (...)" (Assyrian records, King Sargon II (721-705 B.C.) mentions the recruiting o) a unit of chariotry from the conquered Northern Israelite Kingdom in his army).
