1TÚG.⸢SÍG?⸣ [DINGIR?]-⸢ti?⸣-šá? ⸢aṣ?-bat⸣ “I took hold of the he[m of] her [divinit]y”: This reading, which was suggested by R. Borger (BIWA LoBl p. 38), is supported by Jeffers and Novotny, RINAP 5/2 p. 325 Asb. 220 (L4) ii 27´.
2The scribe appears to have inserted [... ep]-⸢še-e-ti⸣-ia ⸢TE?⸣ [...], “[...] my [d]eeds [...],” in the space between rev. 4´ and 5´ in much smaller script, likely as part of some type of scribal addition or correction.
