1[la? il-lam?]-ma?-du “[cannot be underst]ood”: For the suggested reconstruction of this verb, see text no. 225 obv. 14 and the on-page note to that line.

2Following T. Bauer (Asb. p. 42), the first half of the line is reconstructed based on text no. 208 obv. 6. Bauer also translated the latter part of the line as “festsetzt [Tag, Monat und Jahr]” based on line 3 of that text (mu-ad-du-ú u₄-me ITI u MU.[AN.NA ...] “[w]ho marks the day, month, and y[ear ...]”), but one expects the D stem of the participle, mu-ad-du-ú, and there is not enough space in the break at the end of the line to restore all those signs. It is unclear if mu-ud-de is a less common writing for the G participle (mu-de-e) or the D participle (mu-ad-de-e), or if there are additional signs of the word in the break, such as mu-ud-di-[], “one who restor[es].”

3The restorations at the beginning of the line come from text no. 208 obv. 10.

4šá e-na i-na-áš-šú-u i-zak-ka-ru “who selects (lit. ‘raises the eye’) (and) nominates”: T. Bauer (Asb. p. 42) read šá e-na i-na-áš-šú-[u] u i-zak-ka-ru “who select[s] (lit. ‘raise[s] the eye’) and nominates”; however, there is no room for a second winkelhaken between the šú and u that are present on the tablet.

5For the restoration of this line, see text no. 209 rev. 19.
