[1] For the unusual reading i-ṣappar(BÀR) “he flutters (with his eyes)” (or “his eyes flutter”) see Epilepsy (1993), 94). Consider likewise the possible form i-par₃ connected with the verb pâru “to seek/watch out” describing probably the unrest of the patient’s eyes. However, in the CAD the verb is not attested within medical contexts, which makes this interpretation uncertain as well. The reading qa instead of  SILA₃ in Scurlock (2014) is unnecessary.

[2] Worthington (2005), 7 reads mistakenly qu instead of qu₃.

[3] Cf. for the restoration see Worthington (2005), 7. But due to the fragmentary state MAR.MEŠ₂–ma (Ms. B) cannot be excluded.

[4] The reading follows Scurlock (2014), 307 contra Worthington (2005), 7 reading ḫi-qa-t[e …].

[5] Cf. the parallel BAM 3 i 16 (… NU šul-pu-tu₂ 5 GIN₂ saḫ-le₂-e ina NINDA IMGAGA₂ KUM₂ TAB-ma …), which tentatively suggests the reading of eṣēpu “to double” (see Worthington (2005), 7 but with a different translation on p. 16) instead of the contextually fitting esēpu “to gather” preferred by Scurlock (2014), 319.

[6] Against Worthington (2005), 7, see Scurlock (2014), 307.

[7] Restoration following BAM 3 i 19.

[8] The positioning of the join follows Scurlock, Sourcebook (2014), 335 note 87 which places the fragment three lines below in comparison to the placing of Köcher’s BAM copy. Panayotov, Addenda (2016), 66f. rejects the connection of the fragment K. 13417 and BAM 480. But the argument is not that convincing since the respective ruling, of which Panayotov claims it is not visible, should be within the break. Even if the fragment cannot be assigned with certainty, it can likewise not be excluded on that basis.

[9] Simko suggests the reading ⌈UR.MAḪ⌉ which is possible but hardly to decide for these illegible traces.

[10] Simko suggests to read: … ḪAD₂.⌈DU⌉ ⌈GAZ⌉ SIM although the direct contact or joinability of this fragment is still debated.

[11] See the different interpretations in Worthington (2005), 8 (⌊bar z⌋[ú.lum.(ma) …]) and Scurlock (2014), 308 (⌈BAR⌉ ^GI[^Š?NU?.ÚR?.MA? …]). The horizontal wedge is too high to interpret the traces as MAŠ/BAR-sign. Furthermore, the CDLI-photo of BAM 480 shows the beginning of a second horizontal wedge underneath the first which likewise suggests the reading PA “twig” or “leaf”.

[12] See the possible traces of a ruling in Panayotov, Fragments (2016) pdf-page 14.

[13] See for the possible reading of SAḪAR also Panayotov, Fragments (2016) pdf-page 14. The restoration follows the suggestion of K. Simko.

[14] Contra Scurlock (2014), 308 with help of the new join in Panayotov, Fragments (2016), pdf-page 10.

[15] It is uncertain to restore ⌈te–qe₂⌉ following Jastrow obv 8 (suggestion Simko) since the whole section refers back to the very formulation te–qe₂ via KI.MIN which fits in my view the traces better.

[16] Suggestion K. Simko.

[17] According to Panayotov, Addenda (2017), 62 one should read [… te]-⌈qe₂⌉ which is otherwise much uncertain since just one vertical wedge of the end of the sign is left that might either belongs to MIN (KI.MIN) or KI (te–qe₂).

[18] Cf. Ms. M in Worthington (2005), 8.

[19] Worthington (2005), 8 […] a u^! ŠE₁₀ and differently Scurlock (2014), 309 [… sa]-a-qi₂ “thigh(?)” or transferred (so Scurlock) “picked up meat”.

[20] The reconstructions [… SIL]A₁₁-⌈aš⌉ in Worthington (2005), 8 as well as [… (ina A GAZI^sar SILA₁₁–aš ina ŠURUN GU₄ ŠEG₆–šal) ina … SIL]A₁₁–aš in Scurlock (2014), 309 are at least questionable, especially the latter one, since the photo shows only one vertical wedge before SAR.

[21] Suggestion K. Simko. Problematic is the small horizontal wedge straight through the A-sign which suggest a rather different previous sign than UD.

[22] See for this peculiar form also Stadhouders, Mirišmarû (2018), 121f.

[23] Contra Worthington (2005), 9 and Scurlock (2014), 309 the tablets (see CDLI-photo) shows remnants of a sign with two horizontals at the beginning which speaks against the proposed reading KAŠ.⌈KURUN.NA⌉ etc. KAŠ.SAG is likewise not possible as well as an expression like šuršummi DIDA(?), cf. the line above. One might think of KAŠ KUM₂/ŠEG₆ “hot/heated(?) beer” (see CAD Š/3, 365 šuršummu sub a) or equal expression. Cf. likewise UGU 1:33’ (ina šuršummi KAŠ ŠEG₆.GA₂).
