1If text block nos. 56+ belongs to the bottom course of blocks in the first column of the inscription(s), then this fragment is followed by block no. 124, the first stone of the second column of inscription(s). That block probably reads: a-na šu-[zu-ub na-piš-ti-šú e-diš ip-par-šid a-na É.GAL-šú] / e-ru-um-[ma ...] “in order to s[ave his (own) life, he (Marduk-apla-iddina), fled alone]. I entered [his palace and ...].”

2la [kit-nu]- “[had] not [submit]ted”: This may be an error for la [kit-nu]-šu.

3Block nos. 3 and 70 contain text that appears in the lacuna between Frgms. F and G. The text on block no. 3 reads: ar-[kab-ma GIŠ.GIGIR GÌR.II-ia i-na ti-ik-ka-a-te] / ú-[šá-áš-ši ...] “I r[ode (on horseback) and] had [my personal chariot carried on (men’s) necks].” There is probably only one line missing between Fragment F and block no. 3. The text on block no. 70 reads: [... URU.ki-lam]-za-aḫ [URU.ḫa-ar-diš-pi URU.É-mku-bat-ti URU.MEŠ-ni-šú-nu É BÀD].MEŠ-[(ni) dan-nu-ti al-me KUR-ud UN.MEŠ ANŠE].KUR.RA.[MEŠ ...] “[... I surrounded (and) conquered the cities Bīt-Kilam]zaḫ, [Ḫardišpu, (and) Bīt-Kubatti, their fortified wal]led [cities. (I brought out from them) people, ho]rs[es, ...].” The last line of block no. 70 is likely immediately followed by the first line of Fragment G.

4The translation assumes that ú-še-me kar-meš “I turned into ruins” appeared at the very beginning of the now-lost line that immediately followed Frgm. G line 3.

5The translation assumes that ap-pul aq-qur ina dGIŠ.BAR aq-mu “I destroyed, devastated, (and) burned with fire” appeared at the very beginning of the now-lost line that immediately followed Frgm. H line 3.
