1The restorations are based on text no. 14 lines 10–12.
2The restorations are based on text no. 35 iii 25 and 28, which also record events of the 9th palû.
3ib-bal-kit-tu-ma “they rebelled”: Interpreted as the rebellion of the lands enumerated in line 8´. A. Fuchs suggested that the passage could refer to Assyrian troops crossing mountains or a river.
4IZI áš-ru-up “I burned with fire”: Or restore dGIŠ.BAR aq-mu.
5maḫ-re-[e ger-ri-ia] “a previou[s campaign of mine]”: The restoration follows a suggestion by A. Fuchs (Studies H. and M. Tadmor pp. 51* and 53* n. 42). This statement probably refers to the first battle against Urarṭu, which was fought in northern Syria during his 3rd palû (743); see text no. 9, text no. 35 i 21´, and text no. 47 obv. 45–50.
6The proposed restorations are conjectural.
