1The translation assumes that the lacuna before rev. ii´ 1´ contained 50.ÀM ti-ik-pi maš-kán ši-kit-ti-šú “On the site of its (original) structure ... fifty courses of brick (high)”; see text no. 9 (Prism F) vi 42. ⸢tam-la^*-a⸣ “[t]errace”: The ⸢la⸣ sign lacks its initial horizontal and thus looks like ⸢MA⸣.
