English, Sharp
Darius the King says: If thou shalt see this inscription or these sculptures, (and) shalt destroy them, and whilst to thee there may be strength, thou shalt not preserve them, may Ahuramazda be to thee an opponent, and may there not be to thee a family, and what thou mayest do, that for thee may Ahuramazda destroy!
Elamite, Saber Amiri § 53c

English from Elamite, Saber Amiri §
but if (you) destroy this inscription and (these) sculptures (and) don’t protect (them), may Ahuramazda kill you and may (you) not pour out your seed! And whatever you do, may Ahuramazda destroy it.
