1The translation assumes that the lacuna contained LÚ.ḫa-a-a-la.MEŠ ša mdGIŠ.NU₁₁-MU-GI.NA ⸢ša?⸣ [...] a-na ḫu-bu-ut EDIN “the ḫiʾālu-troops of Šamaš-šuma-ukīn th[at he had sent] to plunder the steppe” from text no. 172 obv. 15–16a.

2E. Weidner (AfO 8 [1932–33] pp. 194–195 and 202) originally edited these lines (epigraph no. 57) separately from text no. 180 rev.? 7–15, which he designated as epigraph no. 83. In contrast, R. Borger (BIWA pp. 308, 310, and 318) considered the latter and its nearly duplicate passage from text no. 173 ii 1´–8´ that he identified after a new join (see the commentary to text no. 173) to be epigraph no. 57 as well, and thus edited the aforementioned lines from all three of these texts together. However, one should note that there is significant deviation between the contents of the present epigraph and those in text nos. 173 and 180. There is insufficient space to restore the it-ti “with” at the beginning of i 10´ that appears in text no. 173 ii 3´ and text no. 180 rev.? 9. Furthermore, [a]-⸢na⸣ re-ṣu-u-ti [ša mdGIŠ.NU₁₁-MU]-⸢GI⸣.NA it-bu-⸢u⸣-ni “[who] had set out [t]o help [Šamaš-šuma-u]kīn” of i 11´b–12´ is lacking in the parallel epigraphs of text nos. 173 and 180, while [u 85?] NUN.MEŠ a-lik Á.II-šú LÚ.KÚR.MEŠ-ia “[and the eighty-five] nobles who march at his side, my enemies” that appears after NUMUN É AD-šú “the seed of his father’s house” in text no. 173 ii 4´b–5´a and text no. 180 rev.? 10b–11 seems to be lacking in i 11´a since there is no space for it in the break.

3The scribe began this line a bit over one-third of the way into the column, starting it under the PA sign of LÚ.DAB PA.MEŠ “chariot driver” from the previous line.

4There is an undated letter from Ea-zēru-qīša to his mother (Parpola, SAA 21 pp. 131–132 no. 155) in which he discusses the difficulties he faced at the Assyrian court when he was accused of being a friend of Šamaš-šuma-ukīn and it was rumored that Šamaš-šuma-ukīn had fled to Bīt-Amukkāni after his defeat.

5The extra ŠÚ sign at the end of the line looks like it was erased by the scribe.
