1Based on text no. 77 (Kalḫu A) line 40, one expects ina u₄-me-šu-ma ina UN.MEŠ ki-šit-ti KUR.KUR (“at that time, by means of prisoners from the lands”) before [ša ina tu]-kul-ti AN.ŠÁR EN-ia ik-šu-[da qa-ta-a-a] (“[that I] had conqu[ered with the] help of the god Aššur, my lord”). The building report appears to have begun in line 3′, just after Sargon’s titles.
2Based on text no. 77 (Kalḫu A) line 48, one expects ki-ma a-tar-tim-ma lu aṣ-ba-ta (“I incorporated as an addition”) immediately after [qaq]-qa-ri ki-šub-ba-a (“unused [la]nd”). Wiseman’s copy has ⸢RU-x⸣, which may be a modern copyist error. The author was not able to confirm the reading ⸢ki-ma a⸣-[...] since the object was not available for study.
