1[^dAMAR.UTU^?] “[the god Marduk]”: Or possibly restore [^dŠEŠ.KI-ri^?] “[the god Nannāru].” It is impossible to know with any degree of certainty which god is mentioned here, Babylon’s patron deity Marduk or the moon-god Nannāru. Because the text concerns work at Babylon, one might be inclined to restore the name of Marduk here. However, since ša iqbû (“who had commanded”) usually occurs with the god Nannāru in extant inscriptions of Nabonidus, it might be better to restore the name of that god in this passage. The former is tentatively restored here.

2ú-qa^*-⸢ʾa-ni⸣ “he waited for me”: The tablet has ú-BAR-⸢ʾa-ni⸣.
