K 18219 is a tiny flake from a clay tablet that contains an inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king, although the identification of the ruler is uncertain. The text mentions a king of the land Elam (rev. 3´), but the name is not preserved, so this text could belong to the reign of Sargon II, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, or Ashurbanipal.

K 19386 is a flake from the center of a clay tablet that contains a text dealing with the deportation of a royal family. The language of the text has strong affinities to that of Ashurbanipal's inscriptions (compare, for example, Novotny and Jeffers, RINAP 5/1 pp. 75–76 Asb. 3 [Prism B] vii 47, 53–54, 70, and 84), and thus most likely dates to his reign, but this is not certain.

A tablet fragment (Rm 283) from the bottom of the obverse of a clay tablet contains an inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king, probably Ashurbanipal. Although H. Winckler (AOF 2 pp. 20–21) originally thought that the inscription likely belongs to Esarhaddon, R. Borger (Asarh. p. 119 §99) stated that there is no reason for ascribing the text to him, and then later (BIWA p. 344) suggested "Assurbanipal Spätzeit?". If the inscription belongs to Ashurbanipal, then it must have been written at a later date in his reign given that obv. 12´ mentions the lands Parsumaš and Dilmun, locations that only appear in texts composed at that time. Parsumaš is mentioned in Novotny and Jeffers, RINAP 5/1 p. 270 Asb. 12 (Prism H) vi 7´ and p. 307 Asb. 23 [IIT] line 114, and Dilmun is mentioned in ibid. p. 308 Asb. 23 [IIT] lines 131 and 137; the Prism H inscription dates to 639, while the Inscription from the Ištar Temple (IIT) dates to ca. 638.

K 3150 is a fragment from the center of a clay tablet that preserves parts of two faces, although what little appears on Side B of the fragment is not decipherable. The text belongs to one of the late Neo-Assyrian kings, but the specific ascription is uncertain. The text mentions the city Ḫarrān, which otherwise only appears in inscriptions of Sargon II and Ashurbanipal. If the city protected in A 11´ is Ḫarrān from A 10´, this might find its closest parallel in Sargon II's texts (compare, for example, Frame, RINAP 2 p. 166 Sargon II 9 line 9), but this is only speculation since the present context is unclear.

A fragment (K 6370) from the middle of one face of a clay tablet preserves an inscription belonging to a late Neo-Assyrian king, perhaps Ashurbanipal. The fragment only contains parts of ten lines of text that provide little information for determining to which king this text belongs. It is possible that line 2´ mentions Indabibi, an Elamite king during the time of Ashurbanipal, but the line is too damaged to be certain of the reading (see the on-page note). Moreover, line 9´ could mention the Chaldeans — a term that otherwise only appears in texts of Sargon II and Sennacherib, even though the land Chaldea is mentioned by the other late Neo-Assyrian kings — but this is again uncertain (see the on-page note).

An inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king is found on K 16021, a fragment most likely from the bottom of a clay tablet. Very little in the inscription can be used for determining to which king this text belongs, but based on the general language, it could belong to the reign of Ashurbanipal.

K 17809 comes from the top left corner of a clay tablet and contains an inscription of a Neo-Assyrian king (identification uncertain). The small fragment only preserves a handful of lines, but obv. 1 mentions an "Elamite" (⸢LÚ⸣.ELAM.MA.KI-a-⸢a⸣), which could place the text in the reign of Ashurbanipal, even though a name for this Elamite is not preserved. Furthermore, rev. 1´ begins with the prepositional use of šūt, "Because of/On account of," a usage that is common in inscriptions of Ashurbanipal.

K 17999 is a small flake from one face of a clay tablet that contains an inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king. Little is preserved of the tablet's original contents, but the language is compatible with that of Ashurbanipal's inscriptions; especially compare line 3´ with Novotny and Jeffers, RINAP 5/1 p. 59 Asb. 3 (Prism B) i 73 and p. 233 Asb. 11 (Prism A) i 79b–80a.

A small flake (K 22138) from the right edge of a clay tablet bears a text mentioning the god Enlil and a prize bull (GU₄.MAḪ-ḫu). It may also refer to Ashurbanipal (A 5´), although the name is only partially preserved. If the latter is a reference to Ashurbanipal, it is uncertain if the text belongs to his reign or to that of one of his successors.

A fragment from the center of one face of a clay tablet contains an inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king. Despite the fact that the text only preserves parts of nine lines, it most likely belongs to the reign of Sargon II or Ashurbanipal given that the phrase šá-ʾa-al šul-mì-ia, "to inquire about my well-being" (line 3´) only appears in the inscriptions of those two kings.
