The available details of the celebration for the Mighty Storm-god on DAY 3 of the nuntarriyašḫa- festival are exceedingly limited. The preserved portions of the sole securely identified fragment, KUB 25.10, contain relatively standard descriptions of drinking rites, accompanied by Hittite singing, the breaking of bread, and the entertainment of the deity.

The attribution of KUB 25.10 to the nuntarriyašḫa- festival goes back to Nakamura M. 2002a: 85f. and 140f., who rejected Houwink ten Cate’s earlier restoration of the colophon, which included the reading [Ner]ik (Houwink ten Cate Ph.H.J. 1988a: 183 n. 29). Nakamura instead argued that the sign IG represents the second element of the epithet [NIR].GÁL, i.e. “Mighty” (Storm-god). This interpretation, combined with the mention of an autumn festival in Katapa in the colophon, aligns closely with the celebrations described for DAY 3 in the outline tablets of the nuntarriyašḫa- festival. 

Although several other tablets in the Hittite festival corpus mention offerings made to the Mighty Storm-god (see Popko M. 2001b: 152), the evidence is insufficient to justify additional attributions.

Since the width of the last column is approx. 10 cm, KUB 25.10 was originally possibly a two-column tablet.

The sign forms of URU, E, and DU indicate that the text is written in the New Script. The shape of QA is the sole example of a IIIc form in the text, which is insufficient to classify KUB 25.10 as a Late New Hittite manuscript, as suggested by the Konkordanz, particularly since the form occurs in the colophon.
