1The transliteration more or less follows Fales, who read the line as 5-[su] šá ⸢LUGAL⸣ “one-[fifth] (mina) of the king.” According to his copy, there does not appear to be sufficient space for su and šá between 5 and LUGAL. Moreover, the traces on the copy do not seem to correspond to either su or šá. In any case, 5-[(su)] should be read as ḫamussu (“one-fifth”), as Fales (Studies Lipiński p. 45) has already noted.
