[1] For the possible beginning of col. iii cf. K. 13392 rev which continues the longer incantation started in obv 21’ff, and which seems to proceed with at least two further incantations (ll. 7-9 and 10-11(?)). The suggested parallel OECT 11, 71 obv 28’-31’ runs rather with K. 13392 then UGU 3:29’.

[2] This approximation follows Simko (2017), folia 15.

[3] If K. 13392 represents the end of col. ii and the beginning of col. iii the respective entry number should changed accordingly to 42’ff.

[4] See the parallel AMT 79, 2 (DT 319) 5’-13’.

[5] BabMed Corpus interprets A as corrupt reading of GAR(-an) following AMT 79, 2 (DT 319) 7’ ([…] ⌈GI/150^?⌉ GAR-an LU₂ BI DU₁₀.GAM-su-⌈ma⌉). However, the same form can be found in mss. A and B which might indicate that A.AN (= AM₃?) is the correct although unclear reading. One might think of a unorthodox writing of kīʾam (gi-am₃?) “as soon as/once (the client has kneeled down)”.

[6] Cf. for this incantation (see very similar UGU 3:23’) also the possible parallel Ashm 1924-788 (OECT 11, 71) obv 34’-35’ and AMT 79, 2 (DT 319) 14’-17’. Remark Bácskay: Besides K 4023 iii 6′-8′ and BAM 487 iii 9′ this incantation and its variant are also preserved in the following cuneiform tablets: AMT 79, 2 i‘ 14′-17′ (mentioned by E. Schmidtchen in note no. 6 as possible parallel) and OECT XI, 71 obv. 34′-35′ (mentioned by E. Schmidtchen in note no. 6 as possible parallel) as well as BAM 489+BAM 508 iv 14′-17′ (two column tablet, a list of incantations and some short connected rituals (mainly fumigation) against ear complaints, internal disease (ŠÀ.GIG.GA) and head problems); SpTU III 65) rev. 17-18 (series tablets of Mušš’u) and BM 41271+ iii 4′-6′ (fragment of two column tablet, it contains incantations connected to the series Mušš’u and accompanying rituals). Moreover, the incantation can also be found on a cylinder-shaped stone amulet from Kalhu (published by Al-Rawi “Inscriptions from the Tombs of the Queens of Assyria” in Curtis, J. E – McCall, H. – Collon, D. – Werr, L. al-Gailani (eds.): New Light on Nimrud. Proceedings of the Nimrud Conference. 11th–13th March 2002. London, 2008, 119-138.). All of these manuscripts will be edited in my forthcoming paper (Bácskay, A.: Two Sumerian incantations against migraine (sag-ki-dab-ba) on amulets and cuneiform tablets).

[7] Following BabMed Corpus [mu-un-dab]-⌈ba⌉ but the presumed BA looks rather different. The respective passage is likewise not preserved in Ashm 1924-788 (OECT 11, 71) obv 34’-35’. See for the restoration AMT 79, 2 (DT 319) 15’.

[8] Cf. for restoration the partial parallel AMT 79, 2 (DT 319) 18’-19’.

[9] Cf. the partly parallel Ashm 1924-788 (OECT 11, 71) rev 1-2 […]-⌈da⌉-a-na-⌈mul⌉-[(la) …].

[10] There is too little space for restoring the whole repetition before the edge of the tablet which means either that the edge is written or that the respective verbal form would have been shortened.

[11] A.ŠA₃ DAL.DAL “(which) flies over the field“ might suggest the identification of x ḪUL₂ as another insect subsequently following UB.PAD “mole-cricket(?)”.

[12] Cf. the many parallels to this incantation in VAT 16446 (BAM 4, 386) iii 7′-20′; K 239+ (BAM 5, 508) i 7′-14′; W 23279 (SpTU 4, 129) i^! 30′-41′; Ashm 1924-788 (OECT 11, 71) Rs. 3-8; Ass 13955ks (LKA 145) Vs. 1-9; K 6329 ii‘ 1′-7′; K 8211 ii 1′-8′ as well as K 10428+ (BAM 5, 488 = UGU 1).

[13] Contra BabMed Corpus AMT 104 where MAŠKIM is read.

[14] Pay attention to the difference between group 1 (A, B) and 2 (C, D) concerning the spacial distribution.

[15] Cf. Simko (2017), folia 15 which is obviously oriented on group 1 (A, B). Comparing to the space left in ms. A₁, there might be also fewer lines (one or two) missing in this ms.
