• I would restore the beginning of K 2418+ col. 4 differently
A iv 1. [……………………………………………………………] (the first line in this column is missing completely)
A iv 2. [………………] x [……………………………………….] (remains of a sign on the fragment AMT 76,5, which might actually be dent in the surface looking like a sign)
A iv 3. [………………] x [……………………………………. d]u (remains of a sign that might simply be dent in the surface of the fragment AMT 76,5; the sign DU is present in the very first line of the joining fragment AMT 82,2 col. iv)
_______________________________________________________________
A iv 4. [………………………………………………………….] a (the sign A occurs in the second line of the fragment AMT 82,2 col. iv; what preceded this sign in this line is now missing completely from the tablet; in this regard note the empty space on AMT 76,5 between the second fragmentary sign in A iv 3 and the next line in A iv 5 starting with ˹ku? ku? nam gi˺: there is enough space here to restore an extra missing line)
A iv 5. ˹ku? ku? nam gi˺ […………………………………………] si
A iv 6. pa bi nam gi ˹si si˺ […………………………………….. a]n? (contra Schmidtchen’s identification of the last sign in this line being in subscript or superscript)
A iv 7. na aš2 ka tab ba x [………………………………….TU6 E]N2
• line numbers in K 2418+ should be changed somewhat:
– either the restoration suggested above is to be followed, in which case two extra lines should be added in A iv 1 and A iv 4, and the apostrophes indicating missing lines after the line numbers should be deleted
– or the original line count is to be kept in place with some corrections: „76′ A iv 6’ff“ is not followed by „77′ A iv 8’f“, but by „77′ A iv 9’f“; from this place forward all line numbers were indicated incorrectly
• K 11829: physical join to K 2418+ iv 21-33 (18’/19′-20’/31′)(1)
