Firstly, Guzana turned out to be under native (Aramaean), not Assyrian control at the time. Secondly, at the time in question, both the Aramaeans (or at least these ones, to judge by their inscriptions) and the Assyrians spoke Assyrian (a late form of Akkadian). The time of the ascendancy of Aramaic was later.
