1The print edition of RINAP 4 overlooked the traces in this line.

2lìb-bi “(my) heart”: Reading based on collation. The new arrangement of lines 2´ and 3´ follows Borger, BIWA p. 135.

3x ⸢zi^?-kir^? šap^?⸣-[te^?]-e-šú-nu “the words from their l[ip]s”: The reading of the signs before e-šú-nu in exs. 1 and 2 is uncertain. On ex. 1, there are illegible traces of three signs. On ex. 2, following R. Borger (BIWA p. 135) and the print edition of RINAP 4, the traces might be tentatively read as x ⸢zi^?-kir^? šap^?⸣-[x]-e-šú-nu. Based on spacing, there must be several signs missing between li-tap-pa-lu a-ḫa-meš and x ⸢zi^?-kir^? šap^?⸣-[x]-e-šú-nu. Borger (BIWA p. 135) proposes i-na ṣi-it pi-i-šú-nu.

4EGIR “future”: The revised restoration is based on text no. 1 (Nineveh A) vi 65 and text no. 3 (Nineveh C) vi 23´; RINAP 4 (p. 58) has restores the word as ár-kát.
