– the fragments K. 8772 (AMT 76,2), K. 8789 (AMT 60,3) belong most likely to the same tablet but a different manuscript (here B_1-2); topically K. 16420 (AMT 76,4) might likewise belong to this tablet (col. ii) but since the ascription to a certain ms. is unclear it is noted as C without implying necessarily a third ms. of NECK 5

[1] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:1.

[2] The parallel in Sakikkû notes additionally mi-šit-ti GIG.

[3] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:4 (= l. 5-7). Curiously, the entries on mukil rēš lemutti (Sakikkû 27:2-3 = ll. 2-4) have been left out.

[4] The Sakikkû parallel notes DAB GIDIM₇ ana EDIN <UD> 3.KAM₂ NI.ŠI which seem to be too much signs for the broken area in NECK 5:2. Since the Sakikkû parallel shows some uncertainty as well (viz. the missing UD), it is much likely that the text underwent some corruption. BabMed Corpus AMT 77/1 i 4 restores DAB GIDIM₇^! ⌈ana^? EDIN^? UD^?⌉ [3.KAM₂] ni-ši. The signs ni ši has been interpreted here as a pseudo-logographic spelling (or stative, which otherwise would be nī/ēš?) against the usual syllabic spelling ina-eš in therapeutic texts.

[5] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:5 (= l. 8).

[6] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:6 (= l. 9).

[7] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:7 (= l. 10).

[8] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:8 (= l. 11).

[9] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:9 (= l. 12-13).

[10] Cf. the parallel BAM 132:3‘-6‘.

[11] K. Simko suggests to restore the damaged passage ⌈ina⌉ ⌈A⌉ which is possible but hardly visible.

[12] Cf. the parallels BAM 132:7‘-10‘ and BAM 133:3‘-6‘.

[13] BAM 133:6‘ has differently [(x)] ⌈ŠEŠ₂^?⌉-ma su la […].

[14] Cf. the parallels BAM 132:11‘-13‘ and BAM 133:7‘-8‘.

[15] Against the interpretation of ^u2ŠE.LI speaks the usual spelling ^šimŠE.LI for kikkirânu.

[16] Following the restoration of BabMed Corpus <A>.GUB₂.BA for agubbû “holy water (vessel)”.

[17] Or šim-ma₃-[ti^? …]?

[18] K. Simko, following the copy of Campbell Thompson, suggests the restoration ⌈^u2SIKIL⌉. However, the actual tablet does not preserve the traces as sown within the AMT-copy.

[19] Cf. the parallel AMT 98/3:1’-7‘.

[20] The parallel AMT 98/3:4’ has additionally ⌈DIDA⌉ ⌈^gišEREN⌉ ⌈^u2a-za^?⌉-[la^? (x x)].

[21] The parallel AMT 98/3:4’ has var. tu-ba-ḫar ⌈us⌉ x [(x)] / šum₄-ma (…) and seems to be therefore more detailed.

[22] The parallel AMT 98/3:5’ has AMA.MEŠ instead.

[23] The parallel AMT 98/3:5’ has IGI rit-ti-šu₂.

[24] The meaning of the suspected verb parû is uncertain. It may belong to parû III whose G-stem meaning is unclear or to parāʾu I (a/u) “to cut off; slice through” or II (u/u) “to sprout(?)” with possible unknown secondary meaning.

[25] Or maybe ana LU₂ MAŠKIM₂ NU TE?

[26] Suggestion K. Simko following Sakikkû tablet 5:55’ (NUN]DUM-su šá 15 na-šal-lu^!–lu), referring to the soft or sagging quality of a here not preserved body part.

[27] Or erroneously for ZI₃.KUM or ZI₃ ^šim<x>?

[28] Or does this refer to a particular part or phenomena of the ear?

[29] Suggestion K. Simko.

[30] Maybe ba-aḫ-⌈ru⌉-[su]?
