1⸢TI⸣/U AN NI “...”: It is unclear how to construe these signs. Text no. 203 obv. 15 has ⸢ina⸣ qí-bit d⸢15⸣ GAŠAN-ia “By the command of the goddess Ištar, my lady,” before ARAD.MEŠ-šú “his servants,” and text no. 3 (Prism B) vii 37–38 have ina su-up-pe-e šá AN.ŠÁR u d15 ú-sap-pu-u ta-né-ḫi-ia im-ḫu-ru iš-mu-u zi-kir NUNDUM-ia “As a result of the supplications that I had addressed to (the god) Aššur and the goddess Ištar, they accepted my sighs (and) listened to the utterance(s) of my lip(s)” before ARAD.MEŠ-šú.
2The signs of this line are widely spaced out so that 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” of the prism inscriptions (see, for example, text no. 3 [Prism B] vii 41–42); compare text no. 204 obv. 7´, and see the on-page note to text no. 203 obv. 15, which also does not include these words.
3⸢88⸣ [NUN.MEŠ] “eighty-eigh[t nobles]”: The number of Elamite nobles on this tablet has traditionally been read as eighty-six, however, based on text no. 203 rev. 4, the number should probably be read as eighty-eight.
