The tablet was copied by H. Otten in KBo 8. A partial edition is offered by Riemschneider K.K. 2004a: 16 (1′.4′.10′). Only the words antallû, ‘eclipse’, and the beginning of a verb form, likely ittabši, ‘it happens’, are preserved, as well as the remains of two apodoses: DIŠ]KUR i-ra-a[ḫ-ḫi-iṣ and KU]R-ti ṣ[e-eḫ-re-ti. The consistent syllabic writings an-ta-lu-ú and it-tab-ši point to an Old Babylonian original. The form it-tab-ši is often found in the solar eclipse omens of CTH 534.1, but the closest parallel for Akkadian eclipse protases occurring in consecutive lines is the lunar-omen tablet KUB 4.64+ (CTH 532.12).
