2[1 LIM 5 ME 30.ÀM] ⸢MU⸣.AN.NA.MEŠ “[1,635 y]ears (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]).
3Due to space considerations, it is likely that this tablet lacks ši-i ù DINGIR.MEŠ AD.MEŠ-šá “she — and the gods, her fathers” before tab-bu-u šu-mì “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).
