1The author may have seen traces of LUGAL GAL (“great king”) in line 1´, but this reading is not certain since the object was collated in less than ideal lighting. Menzel interprets the traces on the stone as: [MAN] ⸢KUR⸣ [AŠ]-⸢ma⸣ / [e-piš] É šú-a-tú / [a-na MAN.ME] ⸢ÚŠ⸣.ME “[... king of Assyria, builder] of this house [for the deceas]ed [kings].” Menzel’s restoration of line 3´ was suggested by K. Deller.
2The reading of the sign before the royal name is uncertain. Possible read fé-šár-ḫa-mat, rather than fé-šár-<ra>-ḫa-mat. It is possible that the ŠÁR sign should be read as š́ara₆ since a similar spelling is used for Ešarra in Tiglath-pileser III’s name (Tadmor and Yamada, RINAP 1 p. 153 text no. 63 line 1); see the on-page note to line 1 of that text.
3Menzel interprets the traces on the stone as: ⸢x⸣ KUR LAGAB [...].
