1[ti]-ri-iṣ ŠU.II ^d⸢nisaba^*⸣ “[pr]otégé of the goddess Nisaba”: Literally “the one to whom the goddess Nisaba stretches out her hand.” For details on this rarely used epithet, see the on-page note to text no. 2 (Emašdari Cylinder) i 17. ^d⸢nisaba^*⸣ “the goddess Nisaba”: The tablet has visually similar ^d⸢TE-NAGA^*⸣

2GIŠ.NÍG.GIDRU^* i-⸢šar^*⸣-ti “a just scepter”: The tablet has GIŠ.NÍG.Ú i-⸢QA⸣-ti.

3ši-ip^*-ri-šú-un “work on them”: The tablet has visually similar ši-LU-ri-šú-un.

4ì^*-lí^* “gods”: The tablet has visually similar DÙ-DÙ. A.R. George (AfO 51 [2005–06] p. 88) has suggested that [u ^d15] (“and goddesses”) should be restored at the end of the line, instead of [GAL.MEŠ] (“great”).
