For possible restorations see KUB 5.3+ obv. I 1; 42 DUTU-ŠI ke-e-da-ni MU-ti I-NA URUḪAT-TI SÈD-ia-zi; KUB 5.3+ obv. I 15 DUTU-ŠI ke-e-da-ni MU-ti INA URUKÙ.BABBAR-⸢TI⸣ SÈD-ia-zi; KUB 5.3+ rev. IV 1 DUTU-ŠI ke-e-da-ni MU-ti URUka-a-t[a-pa; KUB 5.3+ rev. IV 10 DUTU-ŠI ke-e-da-ni MU-ti URUa-an-ku-wa SÈD-ia-zi.

Restoration based on KUB 5.3+ obv. I 2; 16; 43.

Gap likely to be restored in analogy to KUB 5.3+ obv. I 2; 16 (DUTU-ŠI URUKÙ.BABBAR-ši še-er). Cf. also KUB 5.4+ obv. I 19 ma-a-an-ma-kán ku-it-ma-an DUTU-ŠI I-NA URUḪAT-TI še-er (cf. also KUB 5.4+ obv. I 4; 19 passim).

Restoration based on KUB 5.3+ obv. I 3; 17; 43.

Possibly to be restored by nu SUMEŠ] SIG₅-ru “let [the exta] be favorable” (KUB 5.3+ obv. I 4) or nu IGI-zi SUMEŠ] SIG₅-ru “let [the first exta] be favorable” (KUB 5.3+ obv. I 18). Yet, instead of SUMEŠ also another oracle technique might be mentioned such as KIN or MUŠEN˽ḪUR-RI.

Presumably Ḫattuša, but also another place for the king’s winter stay is possible, such as Aleppo (cf. KUB 5.4+ rev. III 1-2), Katapa (KUB 5.3+ rev. IV 1-5; KUB 5.4+ rev. III 3-8); Ankuwa (KUB 5.3+ rev. IV 10; KUB 5.4+ rev. III 13) or Zitḫara (KUB 5.3+ rev. IV 13).
