1If lines 1´–6´a pertain to Ashurbanipal’s rebuilding of the House of Succession at Nineveh as suggested in the introduction, then Sennacherib would likely have been the previous builder mentioned in the inscription.
2J. Novotny (Eḫulḫul pp. 107–108 n. 327) tentatively suggested that these lines might be restored as [é]-⸢ḫúl⸣-ḫúl ⸢É⸣ [d30 ša qé-reb URU.ḫar-ra-na ša mdšùl-ma-nu-MAS DUMU maš-šur-PAP-IBILA (DUMU)] ⸢DUMU⸣ m⸢GIŠ?⸣.[TUKUL-ti-dMAŠ LUGAL pa-ni maḫ-ri-ia e-pu-šú], “[Eḫ]ulḫul, the templ[e of the god Sîn, which is (situated) inside the city Ḫarrān, which Shalmaneser (III), son of Ashurnaṣirpal (II), grands]on of T[ukultī-Ninurta (II), a king who preceded me, had built].”
