1šá-pi-ik^? “the one who molds”: The tentative restoration, as suggested by E. Frahm (Sanherib p. 227), is based on text no. 159 obv. 3. Based on text no. 155 obv. 4´, one could tentatively restore instead pa-qid^? “the one who regulates.”

2GAL.MEŠ^? “great”: The restoration is based on text no. 158 obv. 12´. Based on obv. 12, one could tentatively restore instead u^? KI-tim^? “and netherworld.”
