The tablet was copied by E. Weidner in KUB 8 and edited by Riemschneider K.K. 2004a: 96-97. The script ist either Middle Script or New Script, but not much is preserved. We know that the scribe Kuzi-Teššup also wrote KBo 10.7+, a New Script tablet with some old grammar and older sign forms. Note the determinative URU in the colophon with the small first vertical, common for pre-Empire period tablets.
The 22nd day of the month is only seldom found in the later series Enūma Anu Enlil. EAE 14 goes through every day of month, but does not contain eclipse omens. A few passages in the commentary šumma Sîn ina tāmartīšu mention the 22nd day, but there is no clear parallel. The verb for the eclipse is puš-, ‘to diminish, fade, become dark’, the introductory conjunction is takku. The line obv. I, 3 preserves UD 22KAM, which could mean that the text followed through the individual days of a month, but the fragment does not seem to show the same pattern as CTH 532.3.
