(5') He (Nabû-zēr-kitti-līšir) trusted [in his own strength] and [mustered] his army (and) camp, besieged [Ningal-iddin, a servant who] was loyal to me, and cut off [his escape route.

1The 2011 print edition of RINAP 4 overlooked this line and, therefore, the line count of the obverse now differs by one line; obv. 2´–20´ = obv. 1´–19´ of the old edition.

2The restoration at the end of the line is based on CAD Ṣ p. 100; note that ṣarāḫu occurs most commonly in the Š-stem and infrequently in the G-stem; compare text no. 1 (Nineveh A) i 57: ú-šá-aṣ-ri-ḫa si-pit-tu, “I cried out in mourning.”

3KASKAL.[II] “r[oad]”: The updated reading is based on collation; RINAP 4 (p. 75) has [ḫar-ra-nu].

4This line was overlooked in RINAP 4 and, therefore, the line count of the reverse now differs by one line; rev. 2´–12´ = rev. 1´–11´ of the 2011 edition.

5EN-[u-ti] “[my] lord[ship”: The new restoration is based on text no. 1 (Nineveh A) ii 61; compare RINAP 4 p. 76, which has EN-[ti-ia].

6nu-dun-[-e] “(their) dowri[es]”: The updated reading is based on collation and similar passages in the inscriptions of Ashurbanipal.

7There are erasures before GÌR.II and ia.

8The signs ut and na are written over erasures.
