1The tablet lacks the contents of text no. 9 (Prism F) v 57–69 that appear immediately before this line in the prism inscription, and the end of the line contains the variant reading ap-ru-us ú-ḫal-li-qa e-bur-šú “I cut off ... (and so) ruined his harvest” instead of ú-za-am-ma-a A.GÀR.MEŠ-šú “I deprived his fields of” found in text no. 9 (Prism F) v 71b; for a discussion of this Prism F material, see the on-page note to text no. 91 vi 10–11 and the commentary to that text.

2[1 LIM 5 ME 30.ÀM MU.AN.NA.MEŠ] “[1,530 years (ago)]”: Or possibly restore 1 LIM 6 ME 30.ÀM 5 MU.AN.NA.MEŠ “1,635 years (ago),” but since this tablet exhibits other features related to the first version of text no. 9 (Prism F), this variant number is tentatively preferred (see the commentary to text no. 91 and text no. 9 [Prism F]).

3Based on spacing, the tablet lacks ši-i ù DINGIR.MEŠ AD.MEŠ-šá “she — and the gods, her fathers” before tab-bu-u šu- “nominated me,” thus following the first version of text no. 9 (Prism F) (see the commentary to text no. 91 and text no. 9 [Prism F]). Moreover, also due to lack of space in this line, the tablet seems to be missing a-šar la si-ma-ti-šá “a place not befitting her,” which would have appeared at the beginning of this line after the -reb KUR.e-lam-ti “in the land Elam” of the previous line; compare text no. 234 rev. i 1´–4´. Also, note the šú in EN-ti-šú “his lordly majesty,” which is possibly a mistake for EN-ti-šá “her lordly majesty.” R. Borger (BIWA LoBl p. 101) suggested EN-ti-šú-[nu?]the[ir] lordly majesty,” but if the tablet does not have ši-i ù DINGIR.MEŠ AD.MEŠ-šá, his reading is less likely.

4na--du “the famous one”: For this rendering of the word instead of “the pious one,” see CAD N/1 p. 66 sub naʾdu B.
