Possibly, before this name we can restore GIDIM (Archi A. 1979b, 83), but DZawalli is likewise possible (Hout Th.P.J. van den 1998c, 38). See also note n. 2.

Based on similar contexts in other oracle procedures, we can presume the matter concerns the 'Zawalli (deity)' of the mother of the king (with Hout Th.P.J. van den 1998c, 38). Differently, Archi A. 1979b, 83: GIDIM Š]A A-MA (...).

The side photograph Phb04593 clearly shows that when the photo was taken a portion of the edge of the tablet, right below the stone inclusion visible at the end of obv. 27´, was still present, and corresponded to the end of at least obv. 28´, 29´. This small fragment is however missing in the frontal photos and was not copied in KUB 16.

Heinhold-Krahmer S. 1977a, 375.
5
According to the hand copy; it is unclear from the photo whether the line is erased or simply blank.
