1Cf. text no. 34 lines 44b–47 and text no. 35 lines 40´b–43´a.

2Beginning with a-na-ku “I,” the text follows more closely the report of the eighth campaign in text no. 22; see v 62b–63a of that text.

3The translation assumes that am-ḫur-šú-nu-ti-ma “I prayed to them and” appeared in a now-missing line (ca. two lines after i 8´); see text no. 145 i´ 2.
