1The restoration is based on similar passages in the inscriptions of Sennacherib and Ashurbanipal: for example, UGU gim-ri a-šib pa-rak-ki ú-šar-ba-a GIŠ.TUKUL.MEŠ-ia “He made my weapons greater than (those of) all who sit on (royal) daises” (Luckenbill, Senn. p. 23 i 11–12); and UGU LUGAL.MEŠ a-šib pa-rak-ki zi-kir MU-ia ú-šar-ri-ḫu ú-šar-bu-ú EN-ú-ti “They glorified the mention of my name (and) made my lordship greater than (that of all of) the kings who sit on (royal) daises” (Borger, BIWA p. 137 Prism T i 11–13 // Prism C i 7–9).
2The restoration is based on similar passages in the inscriptions of Esarhaddon: Cf. ú-šum-[gal]-lu ṣi-i-rum [na-ram] AN.ŠÁR dUTU dAG u dAMAR.UTU “exalted [lion-dra]gon, [beloved] of the gods Aššur, Šamaš, Nabû, and Marduk” (Leichty, RINAP 4 p. 184 Esarhaddon 98 obv. 18–19), and ú-šum-gal-lum ṣi-i-ru na-ram AN.ŠÁR dAG [...] “exalted lion-dragon, beloved of the gods Aššur, Nabû, [...]” (ibid. p. 187 Esarhaddon 99 obv. 2).
