1Rost (Tigl. p. 7, n. 1) proposed that the city whose name is broken off at the end of the line could have been Dūr-Tiglath-pileser, which is mentioned in text no. 47 obv. 40. If so, then its original local name was probably Sumbi, which appears in text no. 35 i 17´.

2The restoration of the damaged text at the end of the line is based on text no. 5 line 3.

3The restoration of the damaged text at the end of the line follows Tadmor, Tigl. III p. 46, the note to lines 4–5, which in turn is based on well-attested stock phrases.

4i-na KAL-te “by the heavy (standard)”: The interpretation here is based on Postgate, Fifty Neo-Assyrian Legal Documents p. 65. CAD D p. 96 sub dannu translates this passage as “in the large (measure).”

5The restoration of the place names is based on text no. 35 i 5´ and 12´, and text no. 47 obv. 29; see also the entry in the Eponym Chronicle for this year (744), ana māt Namri “against the land Namri” (Millard, SAAS 2 p. 43). a-ka-am “dust cloud of”: The restoration is based on text no. 18 line 7, although other words such as alāk (“advance”) and mēteq (“course”) are also possible.

6The 2nd palû corresponds to the king’s first regnal year (744), and not his second regnal year (743); his 1st palû is his accession year (745). On this irregularity, see H. Tadmor, JCS 12 (1958) p. 30 n. 75. The opening formula of this palû is restored according to text no. 15 line 5 (the 9th palû), the only entry where a complete formula of this nature has survived in the Kalḫu Annals.

7The subject of e-mur-ma (“he saw and”), which is missing at the end of the previous line, is probably Tunaku, who is mentioned in text no. 7 line 4; he is perhaps a ruler of Parsua, whose capital was the city Nikkur, as E. Forrer (Provinz. pp. 89–90) suggests.

8The object of ú-šá-az-nin (“I rained down”) is likely nablu (“flame”) or riḫiltu (“destruction”), both of which are known ninth-century poetic metaphors.
