1e-ri-šu-ma, unusual writing of Erišum’s name with an initial e instead of i, (the only case among the ruler’s inscriptions). Unusual is also the absence of an official title (waklum/iššiak Aššur) after the name. Unfortunately the fragmentary state of the text and the absence of other examples of dedicatory texts from the same period prevent us from further investigation.
