1qí-bé-⸢e?⸣-[ti?] “comman[ds]”: The updated reading is based on text no. 1 (Nineveh A) i 37, as well as on collation; compare RINAP 4 p. 187, which reads the signs as qí-bi-⸢ta⸣.
2The 2011 edition overlooked this line and, therefore, the line count of the reverse now differs by one line; rev. 2´–10´ = rev. 1´–9´ of the old edition.
32.30 “the left”: The reading is based on collation; RINAP 4 (following Borger, Asarh. p. 100) reads the signs after PAP as 2 ME 74.
4The reading of the sign before DINGIR mu-šal-li-mu (“the deity who makes safe”) is uncertain; it does not appear to be LAMMA. Note that the DINGIR sign was omitted in RINAP 4. The restoration at the end of the line is based on inscriptions of Ashurbanipal; for example, see Borger, BIWA p. 143 T III 10 and C I 94.
