1The 2011 print edition overlooked this line and, therefore, the line count now differs by one line; ii 2´–6´ = ii 1´–5´ of the old edition. This fragment is a duplicate of text no. 60 lines 34´–40´.
2The 2011 print edition read this line as [...]-⸢RA⸣ KI TI LAM NU ⸢d⸣[...]. The new reading of the line is based on Caron, NABU 2022 pp. 250–251 no. 120 and collation of the tablet from the photograph of it hosted on CDLI.
