1x LAGAB RE E ŠI: It is uncertain how to construe these signs. However, the traces of the x before LAGAB end in a vertical wedge, which precludes the reading mu-kil re-e-ši “who/which is at the disposal of.”

2a^*-nap-⸢pal^?⸣ “destr[oy]”: The text clearly has ZA for the first of these three signs, but this is likely as a scribal error for the visually similar A.
