1Compare C210 ii 11–13, which has GIŠ.a-šu-ḫu pa-ag-lu-ú-tim ṣí-i-ti ki-in-ne-e ra-bí-ú-tim a-na ṣú-lu-li-šu ú-ša-at-ri-iṣ, “I had (beams of) thick pine grown in the great mountains stretched (over it) for its roof.” The present text has ši-ḫu-ú-tim (“tall”) in lieu of pa-ag-lu-ú-tim (“thick”); this adjective is also used for ašūḫu in WBA v 47, as well as in one inscription of Nabonidus (Weiershäuser and Novotny, RINBE 2 p. 122 Nbn. 24 [Ebabbar Cylinder] ii 3). The translation assumes that ú-ša-at-ri-iṣ (“I had stretched”) appeared in the text, presumably at the beginning of the now-missing line i´ 3.

2Compare a longer version of this passage in Nbk. 42 (B 5/VA Bab 607) ii 24´b–28´a: [ba-la]-ṭam da-⸢rí⸣-a a-di še-bé-e li-it-tu-ú-ti [LUGAL-ú-tu^? la] ⸢ša⸣-na-an [ku]-⸢su⸣-ú da-mi-iq-ti šu-úr-šu-du₄ [šu-um-qú]-⸢tu⸣ na-ki-ri ka-ša-dam ⸢MA.DA⸣ a-a-bi [a-na ši-rik-ti šur-kam a]-⸢na⸣ da-rí-a-tim, “[grant me] a lo[ng li]fe until the attainment of very old age, [kingship without r]ival, a firmly-secured throne of good fortune, [the cutting dow]n of the enemy, the conquest of enemy lan[d(s)], forever.” The phrase adi šebê littūti is attested in three other inscriptions of Nebuchadnezzar II — Nbk. 37 (C027) ii´ 40: Nbk. 42 ii´ 24´; and Nbk. 51 (EŞ 96x6/B 55) iii 38 — as well as one inscription of Nabonidus (Weiershäuser and Novotny, RINBE 2 Nbn. 26 [Ebabbar/Ekurra Cylinder] ii 23).

3i-ku-nu pe-⸢er⸣-[ʾu-ú-a] “may [my] desc[endants] endure”: Compare, for example, Nbk. 30 (C39) iii 25–27, which have li-ku-nu-um pe-er-ʾu-ú-a i-na ṭú-ub-ba-a-tim, “may my descendants endure in a friendly manner.”

4[na-ar-mi-ki^?] “[your beloved]”: The proposed restoration is based on C310 iii 30.

5e-ep-še-tu-ú-a šu-um-gi-ri qí-⸢bí⸣-[im du-um-qú-ú-a] “Make my deeds find acceptance (and) sa[y good thing(s) about me]”: This is also attested in C212 ii 25–26; C211 ii 34; C37 iii 59; and C310 iii 31–33.
