1Ex. 1 has ⸢da?⸣-[šur] “the god A[ššur].” One expects daš-šur, not da-šur. Cf., for example, text no. 22 i 10.
2In this context, one expects LUGAL-ut, not LUGAL-ú-ut “kingship.” Cf., for example, text no. 22 i 10.
3The standard way ušatlimannīma “he (the god Aššur) granted to me and” is written in the Sennacherib corpus is ú-šat-li-ma-an-ni-ma, not ú-šat-lim-an-ni-ma. Cf., for example, text no. 22 i 11.
4Based on parallels, the translation assumes that the now-missing lines between ii 12 and ii 1´ and the almost completely destroyed ii 1´ contained ú-šar-ba-a GIŠ.TUKUL.MEŠ-ia ul-tu A.AB.BA e-le-ni-ti ša šá-lam dUTU-ši “he (the god Aššur) made my weapons greater (than those of all who sit on royal daises ...) from the Upper Sea of the Setting Sun (to the Lower Sea of the Rising Sun).”
5The translation assumes that the now-missing lines after ii 5´ contained SAG.DU ú-šak-niš še-pu-ú-a “he (the god Aššur) made (all of the black)-headed (people) bow down at my feet.”
