1[zaq-ru]-⸢ti⸣ “[hig]h”: Restored from text no. 44 line 24; cf. text no. 34 line 18. a-nar [i-na GIŠ.TUKUL] “I struck down [with the sword]”: Cf. text no. 44 line 24, which has ú-ṭeb-bi-iḫ as-li-iš “I slaughtered like sheep.”

2Cf. text no. 34 line 18b, which adds URU.MEŠ-šú-nu ap-pul aq-qur i-na dGIŠ.BAR aq-mu “I destroyed, devastated, (and) burned with fire their cities” after i-na GIŠ.TUKUL “with the sword.” []-lu-la šal-la-su “[I pl]undered”: Text no. 34 line 19 has ú-ter a-na kar-me “I turned (it) into ruins”; and text no. 44 line 25 has ú-še-me kar-meš “I turned (it) into ruins.”

3Compare text no. 34 line 21 to text no. 44 line 30. Text no. 44 omits ša LUGAL KUR.ELAM.MA.KI “of the king of the land Elam” and has ÍD.mar-ra-ti “the Bitter Sea” instead of A.AB.BA “the sea.”

4Text no. 34 line 22 omits ma-rak “the (full) extent”; cf. text no. 22 iv 34.

5The text follows text no. 22 iv 44b–46a. Cf. text no. 34 line 25, which does not include a-na DU₆ u kar-me ú-ter “I turned (them) into a mound of ruins (lit. “a mound and ruins”).”

6E. Frahm (Sanherib pp. 204–205) tentatively suggests that these lines could duplicate text no. 145 i´ 9´–10´. He reads the lines as follows: ša la-[pa-an -ia ip-la-ḫu] id-ku-ú Á.II-[šú-un] / i-na mi-[it?-ḫu?-uṣ? GIŠ.TUKUL.MEŠ? bal-ṭu-su-un?] ik-šu-da ŠU.[II-a-a] “who (Šūzubu’s magnates) had raised [their] arms be[cause they were terrified of doing battle with me, I ca]ptured [them alive] during the cl[ash of weapons].” Frahm’s restorations in ii 2´ (+) text no. 145 i´ 9´ are based on text no. 22 vi 17 and those in ii 3´ (+) text no. 145 i´ 10´ are based on Livingstone, SAA 3 p. 8 no. 32 line 33 (“Ashurbanipal’s Acrostic Hymn”).
