1The translation assumes that the now-lost final line of the completely-missing column that preceded col. i´ ended with ik-šu-dam-ma “arrived and.”

2The restorations are based on text no. 47 (Ḫarrān Stele) ii 11b–18.

3[TUKUL ^da-nim] “the weapon of the god Anu”: The interpretation of the logogram TUKUL is problematic. For further details, see the on-page note to text no. 47 (Ḫarrān Stele) ii 25 and Schaudig, Inschriften Nabonids pp. 491–492 n. 700. ⸢zi⸣-kir-šu^* “whose [n]ame”: The text has ⸢zi⸣-kir-IŠ^*.

4The restorations are based on text 47 (Ḫarrān Stele) iii 0–6 and 8.

5a-⸢lak⸣-[tú] “(my) pa[th]”: The restoration given here is based on text no. 47 (Ḫarrān Stele) iii 1. H. Schaudig (Inschriften Nabonids p. 533) restores this word as a-⸢lak⸣-[ti], which is also possible; compare Ludlul Bēl Nēmeqi Tablet I line 52.

6The restorations are based on text no. 47 (Ḫarrān Stele) iii 34–38. It is clear from the preserved contents of this column that col. iii´ is the last column of this stele.

7The translation assumes that these lines contained [šá qí-bit-su la in-nen-nu-ú u a-mat-su la ta-qab-bu-u] 2-šú “[whose command cannot be revoked and whose word(s) are not said] twice.”
