1[i-be-lu KUR-su] “[whose land he ruled over]”: This reconstruction follows text no. 3 (Prism B) i 52 and text no. 6 (Prism C) ii 8´; text no. 11 (Prism A) i 55 adds ù šu-u ^mtar-qu-u “he, Taharqa,” after KUR-su “whose land,” but since the signs at the beginning of the line are fairly spaced out, there not likely room for this material.
