ša [d-tar a-ši-bat URU.LÍMMU-DINGIR]

1la* “not”: The la sign appears to have only two horizontals instead of three immediately before the vertical.

2This tablet seems to omit a-ḫa-meštogether” before ú-ra-si-bu “struck down,” which is present in text no. 205 obv. 4´ and the account in the prism inscriptions (see, for example, text no. 3 [Prism B] vii 40). Similarly, there is no room at the end of the line to restore min-da-bi-bi ARAD-su šá si-ḫu UGU-šú ú-šab-šu-u ú-šib ina GIŠ.GU.ZA-šú “Indabibi, a servant of his who had incited rebellion against him, sat on his throne” from the prism inscriptions (see text no. 3 [Prism B] vii 41–42); compare text no. 204 obv. 7´, and see the on-page note to text no. 205 obv. 4´, which likewise does not include these words.

3The phrase ki-i su-ra-ri ú-ma-aṣ-ṣi “I presented (it) as a prayer” is also found in the colophons of two tablets (K 2016a+ [Hunger, Kolophone p. 108 no. 345] and K 11942 [unpublished; mentioned in CAD S p. 407 and U/W p. 287]) from Ashurbanipal’s library at Nineveh. The verb wuṣṣû means “to spread out” various items, and by extension “to present” things as dedicatory objects (AHw p. 1498 sub (w)uṣṣû 2.c and CAD U/W p. 287 sub uṣṣû d; see also the comments of R. Borger [WO 5 (1970) p. 169], who corrected H. Hunger’s [Kolophone p. 108 no. 345 line 7] reading of the verb as ú-ša!?-ṣi “überge[ben?]” in the colophon of K 2016a+). In addition, this verb appears alone in a broken context in one of Tiglath-pileser III’s inscriptions (Tadmor and Yamada, RINAP 1 p. 115 Tiglath-pileser III no. 46 line 29, and the on-page note). As for the noun surāru, AHw p. 1062 cited this line under its entry for surāru “prayer,” while CAD S pp. 406–407 distinguished between two separate lexemes: surāru A “mng. uncert.” and surāru B “prayer.” The present phrase is cited as the only usage of the former, with a translation of “dedicated(?) it as a s.”
