1The damaged text is restored from text no. 47 obv. 1–4.

2.DU₈.A.KI “Cutha”: The reading was suggested by E. Frahm (personal communication); cf. .EDIN.KI in Tadmor, Tigl. III p. 194. There are two superfluous winkelhakens after DU₈. It appears that the scribe originally wrote .EDIN.KI, but then changed it to .DU₈.A.KI, but without completely erasing the EDIN sign.

3[URU.sa-ar-rab-a]-nu: The text is restored from text no. 40 line 13.

41 ME 50 LIM 5 LIM “155,000”: Cf. 50 LIM 5 LIM “55,000” in text no. 47 obv. 16.

5The beginning of the line is restored from text no. 47 obv. 13–14.

6The beginning of the line is restored from text no. 40 line 17.

7The beginning of the line is restored from text no. 47 obv. 26. KUR tam-tim “Sealand”: The KUR, the tam, and the first part of the tim sign are all written over an erasure. The scribe appears to have initially written just tam-tim, exactly as “Sealand” is written in text no. 47 obv. 26, but later emended the text. GIŠ.e-lu-tuellūtu-wood”: As suggested by W.G. Lambert (personal communication), this may be a rare, foreign word.

8The beginning of the line is restored from text no. 47 obv. 29.
