tiny rows of neat Assyrian writing

English to Spanish Other Archaeology Book for Sunday School teachers
The Taylor Prism. Last week we heard how Sennacherib's army moved to Jerusalem, confident that they could easily defeat and humiliate Hezekiah. Perhaps you thought it was just an exciting tale. Other people thought so too until the discovery one day of a hollow, six-sided, brown prism, bearing *** tiny rows of neat Assyrian writing***. It was acquired by Colonel Taylor in 1830 in Nineveh. This prism was Sennacherib's official record, written by his officers. It gives the Assyrian king's version of what took place in Jerusalem in 701 BC (the events recorded in the Bible in 2 Kings 18.13--19.35).
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Wendy Petzall

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

(lleno de) la prolija caligrafía asiria dispuesta en líneas pequeñísimas

Creo que yo modificaría el orden de la oración para que sonara más natural. En esencia, cre que este es el sentido. Espero te sirva. Saludos!
