1Based on the proposed width of each line, which is approximately the same as that of text no. 44 exs. 1 and 3, there is probably not sufficient space to have šá pa-a-ṭi URU.DU₆-bar-si-ip “which is on the border of the city Tīl-Barsip” after URU.kap-ri-da-ar-gi-la-a “Kaprigargilâ.” See, for example, text no. 17 vi 60 and text no. 46 line 134.

2nu-⸢uk⸣-[ku-lu] “skillfully [made]”: Cf., for example, text no. 46 line 136 which has šuk-lu-lu “perfect.” Since the width of each line is approximately the same as that of text no. 44 exs. 1 and 3, there is probably not sufficient space to restore i-na ki-gal-li ram-ni-šú-nu šá-qiš na-an-zu-zu “who stand high on their own pedestals” between nu-⸢uk⸣-[ku-lu] “skillfully [made]” and MUNUS.ÁB.ZA.ZA-a-ti “sphinxes.”
