1Possibly restore e-eš-ši-iš ab-ni-ma, “I built (it) anew,” at the end of the line.

2This passage is very similar to Nbk. 23 (C35) i 42–43, although those lines record work on two ziggurats, Etemenanki and Eurmeiminanki. The restorations are based on that text. Compare Nbk. 27 (C41) iv 4–9, which have ki-iṣ-ṣi-im e-[el-lu] ma-aš-ta-⸢ak⸣ [ta-ak-né-e] ki-ma u₄-mi ul-lu-ú-[tim] a-na dAMAR.UTU be-lí-⸢ia⸣ i-na re-e-ši-šu na-ak-li-iš e-pu-uš, “For the god Marduk, my lord, I skillfully built a h[oly] shrine, a [well-adorned] bedroom, as (it was in) distant days, on its summit.”

Created by Frauke Weiershäuser and Jamie Novotny, 2015-24, for the Munich Open-access Cuneiform Corpus Initiative (MOCCI), a corpus-building initiative funded by LMU Munich, the Henkel Foundation, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (through the establishment of the Alexander von Humboldt Chair for Ancient History of the Near and Middle East), and and based at the Historisches Seminar - Abteilung Alte Geschichte of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
