1Following H. Schaudig (Inschriften Nabonids p. 480), the translation assumes that the two now-missing lines before i 1´ contained ì-nu-um ... a-na be-lu-ut ma-a-ti “[When ... for ruling over the land].”

2Compare Neriglissar 1 (Esagil Inscription) ii 33–35, where that Babylonian king also asks for “a life of long days, the attainment of very old age, a firmly secured throne, and a long-lasting reign.” Based on that inscription, possible restore ii 1´ as ḫa-di-iš na-ap-li-is-ma “look with pleasure.”
