1The translation assumes that the line now-missing before ii 1´ contained te-me-en-na é-ul-maš ú-ba-ʾu-ú “they sought out the (original) foundation(s) of Eulmaš”; compare the parallel passage in text no. 27 ii 39.

2Compare the passage in text no. 27 (ii 45b–49) describing Nebuchadnezzar II’s unsuccessful search for Eulmaš’ original foundation.

3Compare text no. 27 ii 50–56, which contains a similar, but not identical, account of Nabonidus’ successful search for the original foundations of Eulmaš.
