1In approximately half of the inscriptions of Sîn-šarra-iškun, the scribes have enumerated the king’s genealogy down to Sargon II. Oddly, the scribe of VAT 9975 began to write the expected ŠÀ.BAL.BAL ^mLUGAL-GI.NA MAN KUR AŠ in this line, but then erased the first word of the entry and left the rest of the line blank. Later, in line 8 of the second inscription that is recorded on this tablet (Ssi 18), the same scribe simply omits the entry for Sargon II in Sîn-šarra-iškun’s genealogy altogether.

2The scribe wrote mi-gir ŠÀ-ki and NUN pa-liḫ-ki with smaller signs and wrote mi-gir ŠÀ-ki in the upper half of the line with NUN pa-liḫ-ki underneath it in the lower half of the line. All of these signs, including NÍTA of GÌR.NÍTA and ina bu- of ina bu-un-ni-ki, are written over erasures in the middle of the line.

3GAL-ti is written with smaller signs underneath the -ti-ki of DINGIR-ti-ki.

4ḫa^*-ʾi-i-ri “your husband”: The text has visially similiar ZA-ʾi-i-ri.
