1Following i 2 of the C211 text from Sippar, one could very tentatively reconstruct this line as e-er-šu it-pé-šu na-ra-am ^dAMAR.UTU, “the wise (and) capable one, favorite of the god Marduk.”

2After a-⸢pí⸣-[il-šu], “[his] he[ir],” probably restore ki-i-nim (“true”). Compare, for example, Nbk. 2 (East India House) i 33; and Nbk. 32 (C36) iii 26.
