Smith (3 R pl. 10 no. 1a), although it is not clearly recognizable in the photographs published in Barnett and Falkner, Tigl. pls. LXVIII–LXXI; [ANŠE.KUR.RA.MEŠ] ANŠE.MEŠ (sic) in Tadmor, Tigl. III (p. 76) is nevertheless a mistake, as noted by W. Schramm (Orientalia NS 68 [1999] p. 171).

2URU.ú-ra “the city Ura”: This is apparently the same city as “Ura of the district of the land Bāzu” mentioned in text no. 49 obv. 20´.
