1The very beginning of this unit of the Annals, which is now completely missing and which should have directly continued the previous Annals unit (text no. 10), may be restored from the parallel passage in text no. 49 obv. 19´.
2The restorations KUR.É-[a-gu-si] (“the land Bīt-[Agusi]”) and mma-[ti-ʾi-ìl] (“Ma[tīʾ-il]”) are no more than reasonable guesses; see Weippert, ZDPV 89 (1973) p. 35.
3x x: Weippert (ZDPV 89 [1973] p. 35) read these signs as 10? ⸢GUN⸣ “ten talents.” Alternatively, one could read these signs as ⸢KUR.ANŠE⸣-[šú-a-a] (“the land Dam[ascus]”), as expected from context; see Tadmor, Tigl. III p. 54.
4EŠ₂₁ GUN “three talents”: Read so, as noted by E. Frahm (AfO 44/45 [1997–98] p. 401), instead of ⸢x⸣ GUN (“... talents”) as transliterated in Tadmor, Tigl. III p. 54.
