1[ina MAN]-ti-ía “[during] my [king]ship”: According to the published photograph and copy of ex. 2 (Andrae, Festungswerke p. 178 fig. 301 and pl. CVI), there is not sufficient room at the beginning of the line to restore [ina SAG MAN] before ti-ía (“[at the beginning of] my [king]ship”); see RINAP 4 p. 142. There could be enough space in ex. 1 for ina rēš šarrūtiya, but since the entering of Ashurbanipal into the House of Succession, an event that took place in early 672, is mentioned in lines 7–8, it seems unlikely that Esarhaddon referred to the beginning of his reign in this inscription. R. Borger (Asarh. p. 8) read this passage as [ina x] BALA^* (Text: TI) -ía “[in] my [N] regnal year” (“Im x. Jahre”) and notes that one expects the mention of the king’s ninth year (672).

2The adjective rabû (“great”) expresses Ashurbanipal’s seniority in rank, not his age, since this prince was Esarhaddon’s fourth or fifth eldest son; by the time of his official nomination as successor to the Assyrian throne in 672, his brother Šamaš-šuma-ukīn, the heir designate of Babylon, was likely the king’s eldest living son. For recent studies on the numerous children of Esarhaddon, see Weissert, PNA 1/1 pp. 161–163, and Novotny and Singletary, Studies Parpola pp. 167–177.
