1The restoration is conjectural.

2Following the restored opening formula [ina 3 BALA].MEŠ-ia (“[In] my [third palû]”), Tadmor (Tigl. III p. 50) read [^m]^dx [...]; he tentatively considered these signs as the name [^m]^d⸢INANNA⸣-[du-ri] (“Sarduri”). However, the name of this Urarṭian king is written out syllabically in line 8´ as [^m]⸢sa-ar⸣-du-ri thus making this restoration unlikely. E. Frahm (AfO 44/45 [1997–98] p. 401) suggested reading this line as [... ina 3 BALA].MEŠ-ia [aš-šur be-lí ú-tak-kil]-an-[ni-ma], “[... In] my [third palû (the god) Aššur, my lord, encourag]ed me,” a phrase attested in text no. 15 line 5 (9th palû) and partially preserved in text no. 6 line 7 (2nd palû). Frahm’s restoration is followed here.

3x: The sign apparently includes three verticals, as copied in Layard, ICC p. 71 top line 2. Note that the traces of the first signs in lines 2–4 of Layard, ICC p. 71 top should be raised by one line (= lines 1´–3´).

4^mta-: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; Layard, MS A omits the personal determinative.

5x: Rawlinson, Notebook 1 has GUR. ⸢ma⸣-ti-tan “in all lands”: So Layard, MS A; Rawlinson, Notebook 1 has ma-ti-un.

6The restoration at the end of the line is conjectural.

7[LÚ.qu-ra-di^?]-⸢šú⸣-nu “their [warriors]”: The restoration is conjectural. -šú-nu-ti: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; Layard, MS A omits -nu-.

8la: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; Layard, MS A erroneously has AD. ma-ni: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; Layard, MS A omits ma. DIŠ: So Layard, MS A; Rawlinson, Notebook 1 adds a horizontal with a question mark before DIŠ.

970 LIM 2 LIM 9 ME 50 “72,950”: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; Layard, MS A has [70 LIM] ⸢2⸣ LIM 9 ⸢ME⸣ 50. x x x-šú-nu “their ...”: Layard, MS A has ⸢BUR⸣/⸢LÚ⸣ x te (or še-šú)-nu; Rawlinson, Notebook 1 has BUR x x-šú-nu.

10la-am [^dšam-ši^?] “[sun]rise”: The restoration is conjectural.

11[it-ti GIŠ.šil-ta-ḫu pa-ri]-iʾ ZI.MEŠ “[with an arrow that cuts] off lives”: The restoration is based on Luckenbill, Senn. p. 44 v 73. Possibly restore ina instead of itti before šiltāḫu. aṭ-⸢ru⸣-su-⸢ma⸣ “I drove him back”: Tadmor, Tigl. III p. 52 reads the signs as aṭ-⸢rud⸣-su-⸢ma⸣, but Rawlinson’s copy has -⸢ru⸣-, not -⸢rud⸣-.

12⸢mim⸣-: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; this sign is miscopied in Layard, MS A. i-šu-u: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; Layard, MS A omits u. -⸢šú⸣: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; Layard, MS A erroneously has DIŠ.

13-e-šú: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; Layard, MS A has -a-šú. “My army took his [...]”: Cf. Tadmor, Tigl. III p. 53, which translates this passage as “I (text “he”) took ... craftsmen without number.” See the on-page note to text no. 7 line 8.

14[ú-nu-ut^? ta-ḫa-zi^?]-šu “his [implements of war]”: The restoration is conjectural and follows Streck, ZA 89 (1999) p. 153. i-na: So Rawlinson, Notebook 1; Layard, MS A erroneously has AD-na.

15^d⸢INANNA^?⸣ “the goddess Iš[tar]”: Or ^d⸢15^?⸣. Layard, MS A has [...] DINGIR šar-rat; Rawlinson, Notebook 1 has ^dMAŠ šar-rat. Layard’s [...] DINGIR and Rawlinson’s ^dMAŠ are interpreted here as ^d⸢INANNA^?⸣/^d⸢15^?⸣. URU.NINA.KI^*-a “Nineveh”: Rawlinson, Notebook 1 has URU.NINA.⸢KI⸣-a and Layard, MS A has URU.⸢NINA^?.KI⸣-a.
