1The last sign šib (ME) is cut off in Tadmor, Tigl. III pl. VII, but the sign is preserved on the draft copy, at the very right edge of Layard, MS A p. 112.
2The subject of the verb il-qa-a (“they took”) must be um-ma-ni (“my army”), as suggested by E. Frahm (AfO 44/45 [1997–98] p. 401). Thus, there is no grammatically problematic fluctuation between the first and third person (Tadmor, Tigl. III p. 48; corrected in the corrigenda of the second printing of the book).
