1[ba-bi-lam].⸢KI ma-ḫa-za-šu⸣ [ṣi-i-ri URU.KI] ⸢ta-na-da⸣-[a-tu-šu] “[(With regard to) Babylon], his (Marduk’s) [exalted] cult center, [a city] worthy of [his] pra[ise]”: This wording is also attested in Nbk. 31 (C33) i 16; and C32 i 15.
2[ú?]-⸢ná?-a-tu-šu⸣ “its [eq]uipment”: The reading of the line is tentative as there are very few words in the Nebuchadnezzar corpus with the sign combination -a-tu-šu. Three possibilities are ú-na-a-tu-šu (“its equipment”), i-ta-a-tu-šu (“its side”), and ši-id-da-a-tu-šu (“its hold”); compare WBC iii 2–4, which describe the decoration of the god Marduk’s ceremonial boat Maumuša. Note that the first partially preserved sign in this line is not the NA sign. The traces could be tentatively read as -ná-, a sign not otherwise attested in Nebuchadnezzar’s inscriptions.
