end of tablet
1
Or, possibly, mdu-ud-du-wa.
2
Tentative reading after photo collation, following Sakuma Y. 2009b, II, 650. Cf. previous editions: Alp S. 1991b, 211 read ma-ti-ú-n[a]; similarly Hoffner H.A. 2009a, 185 ma-ti-un?-na?.
3
Previous readers suggest m.DI[M- but the available space might allow only m.D10-[.
4
Hoffner H.A. 2009a, 185 restored [e-eš-du] at the end of obv. 5. This is certainly the implied verb, but the distribution of the signs on this line, almost entirely preserved, suggests that the text is complete. For a possible parallel, see KuT 50 obv. 3 (although the verb, in this case, is explicit in the following sentence, obv. 4).
5
Emendation after Hoffner H.A. 2009a, 185.
6
Hoffner H.A. 2009a, 185 suggests m[a?]-a[ḫ?-ḫa-an.
7
After Sakuma Y. 2009b, II, 651. Contextually more likely than ÚŠ-an (cf. Alp S. 1991b, 210; Hoffner H.A. 2009a, 185).
