1Given the parallel in text no. 220 (L4) ii 11´b of ú-šib ṭa-a-biš ina GIŠ.GU.ZA AD DÙ-ia “I sat gladly on the throne of the father who had engendered me,” one expects GIŠ.GU.ZA before a-bi ba-ni-ia. However, the damaged traces before a-bi are clearly the upper portion of a vertical and a winkelhaken, and so they cannot be the end of ZA. Although this could be a scribal error (such as ⸢ḪA⸣ for the visually similar ⸢ZA⸣), the traces are treated here as the rare writing of GIŠ.AŠ.TI for kussû (see AŠ.TI in Grayson and Novotny, RINAP 3/2 p. 231 no. 162 iii 15´; compare also GIŠ.AŠ.TE Tadmor and Yamada, RINAP 1 p. 142 Tiglath-pileser III no. 53 line 27).

2é^*-gašan-ḫi-li-⸢kù⸣-[ga] “Egašanḫiliku[ga]”: The é lacks two vertical wedges. For the connection of the goddess Šarrat-Kidmuri with this structure, see Novotny, Eḫulḫul pp. 216–217.
