1ki-šár?-ra? x, “of the world”: The reading is based on Asb. 261 line 9 since, except for the sections dealing with the structures being rebuilt and the writing of the royal name, the two texts are duplicates. The signs, however, seem to be closer to ki-ub-da?, thus possibly “king of the four quarters (of the world).”

2See the on-page note to Asb. 258 line 15.
