1E. Frahm (NABU 2000 p. 76 no. 66) tentatively proposes reading this line as [ša ^dèr-ra mu]-⸢šam^?-qit^?⸣ a-a-⸢bu^? MU^?.BI^?⸣ “(the gate), [wh]ose name is [‘The God Erra Is the One Who] Cuts Down the Enemy.’” Cf. the name of the Nergal Gate in text no. 15 vii 13´, text no. 16 vii 57, text no. 17 vii 89, and text no. 18 vii 26´b–27´a.

2In the Sumerian ceremonial name Ešaḫulezenzagmukam, -šà-ḫúl-le- stands for -šà-ḫúl-la-.

3mul-ta-ʾu-ti [EN]-ti-ia “my [lord]ly pleasure”: The reading follows Frahm, NABU 2000 p. 75 no. 66.
