1The translation assumes that a-na-ku a-na d-šur d30 dUTU dEN dMUATI dU.GUR “I myself, to the deities Aššur, Sîn, Šamaš, Bēl, Nabû, Nergal” appeared in lines now missing immediately before i´ 1; see text no. 144 i 7´b–8´.

2This line follows text no. 230 lines 61b–62a, which is also broken at this point; cf. text no. 22 v 67, which has la-ab-biš an-na-dir-ma “I raged up like a lion and.”

3Cf. text no. 22 v 74–75 and text no. 230 lines 65–66a.

4[qiš]-še-e “[cucu]mbers”: Cf. text no. 22 vi 12, which has qiš-še-e si-ma-ni “cucumbers in season.” rit-ti-[šú-un?] “[their] hands”: Text no. 22 vi 12 has qa-ti-šú-un “their hands.”

5See the on-page note to text no. 143 ii 2´–3´.

6ik-šu-da ŠU.[II-a-a] “[I ca]ptured”: Also text no. 34 lines 52b–53a; text no. 22 vi 19 has it-mu-ḫa ŠU.II-a-a and text no. 230 line 104 has i-na ŠU.II ú-ṣab-bit.

7Cf. text no. 22 vi 19b–22 and text no. 230 lines 104b–106. E. Frahm (Sanherib p. 205), in his commentary, tentatively suggests reading the line as [ú-ter GIŠ.GIGIR.MEŠ a-di ANŠE.KUR.RA.MEŠ u GIŠ.ṣu-um-ba-a-ti] a-di ANŠE.KUNGA.MEŠ “[I brought back chariots along with (their) horses and wagons], as well as (their) mules.”
