[1] Cf. the possible parallel Sm. 1424:5’-8’ (maybe another excerpt or a copy of an older original as Vorlage for the serial recension in Ninive).
[2] Restoration Scurlock (2006), 211 no. 16. Restore maybe alternatively DIŠ-⌈niš⌉?
[3] Mistakenly read as gišGIŠIMMAR in CAD Q, 80 qan ṭuppi sub a.
[4] For restoration see Scurlock (2006), 263 no. 54.
[5] Restoration according to Scurlock (2006), 263 should be ina ⌈KI⌉ [ka-ba-si …], following the similar expression in a parallel to NECK 6:2’ ([KI.TA GIR3.MIN-šu2 la-am KI ka–ba?-si?]) but without the preposition ina. A problem with this restoration is the little left space until the expected end of the line which leaves room for approximately two or three signs maximum. The use of ina instead of ana is likewise problematic. Therefore, I would tentatively suggest to restore ina ⌈KI⌉.[US2] “before (he) puts his foot down”.
[6] For the interpretation as a syllabic spelling of the sû-stone (cf. Schuster Brandis, Steine, 448) see Scurlock (2006), 263 note to iv 6.
[7] The mentioning of a kutimmu ”gold smith” is unusual.
[8] Restoration Scurlock (2006), 263. The spelling i-na-aš instead of the usual ina-eš is exceptional (but cf. the likewise exceptional syllabic writing of me-e-šu2-nu-ti which usually would be written A.MEŠ-šu2-nu-ti) and the correct form should be inêš not inâš. However, the traces might likewise be interpretable as the sign ⌈SAR⌉.
[9] Cf. the var. parallel K 3010 + K 6187 + K 13346 + DT 86 iii 19’-23’ as well as AMT 7/1 i! 15’1-8’. Cf. also Schuster Brandis, Steine, 361 A iii 20’-24’ (followed by the incantation EN2 GIDIM GU2 SA.A.NI which is maybe to be positioned in the last third of coll. iii, see K. 9174 at the end of the transliteration).
[10] See the reconstruction in Scurlock (2006), 263 (⌈ne⌉-[sat-ma] ⌈ina⌉ ⌈SU NENNI⌉ [EGIR] ⌈ši⌉-ma-te-ka) following the parallel K. 3010+ (EN2 u4-da kud u4-da ⌈du8⌉ […] / egir nam-tar-zu al-⌈du?⌉ […] / iš-tu u4-mu par-sa-⌈at?⌉ […] / iš-tu u4-mu ni ⌈ša2/sa?⌉ […] / ar-ki ⌈ši⌉-ma-ti-⌈ka⌉ ⌈at-lak⌉ x [x]) which has some problems. At first, the first sign at the slightly damaged beginning of the line is certainly not NE but rather TUM or similar EGIR. The sign interpreted as ina by Scurlock is to low and shows some more traces of wedges which makes the reading as ina unlikely. SU for the following sign is certainly probable but far from being clearly legible. The beginning of the second line of our incantation might easily be recognized as being part of the second sumerian phrase (cf. the parallel K 3010+ l. 20’) of the introductory sumerian passage. Our incantation might therefore have a different distribution of the bilingual content.
[11] Cf. the parallel K 3010 + K 6187 + K 13346 + DT 86 iii 14’ as well as the very similar entry BAM 230:13-16 which is considered to be a parallel to NECK 6:3’. Cf. very similar of even parallels the entries AMT 7/1 i 10’ as well as BAM 376 iii 8. The entries NECK 6:3’-4’ are suspiciously similar to NECK 6:58’-59’ in terms of terminology as well as used materia medica.
[12] Reconstruction following Scurlock (2006), 220 no. 20b (according to AMT 7/1 i 10’ as well as BAM 376 iii 8 which are texts dealing exclusively with stones).
[13] Restoration Scurlock (2006), 220. The parallel AMT 7/1 i 10’-12’ is followed by an instruction for reciting the incantation GIDIM GU2 SA.A.NI (see also BAM 230:13-16 as restored in Scurlock (2006), 219) which is likewise mentioned in the fragment K. 9174 possibly representing parts of col. iii and iv of ms. A.
[14] See the similar or parallel entry NECK 6:4‘ and its parallels (BAM 230:17-19 and BAM 295:7‘-11‘, mentioning U8 RI.RI.GA instead of AB2 RI.RI.GA) as well as the similar entry SpTU 4, 134:7-8 with the same symptom description. The here mentioned symptom description might confirm the topic of the first entries of this tablet which fits the catchline being found at the end of NECK 5.
[15] Restoration according to NECK 6:4‘ which is not entirely certain.
[16] The whole entry is very similar to the previous one (NECK 6:59’) and might be seen as a variation to this, mentioned here for the sake of completeness.
[17] Considering the use of kibrītu within this text the broken passage is most likely to be reconstructed [DIŠ KI.MIN PIŠ10]-⌈dID2⌉.
[18] Cf. the very similar use of materia medica in NECK 6:4‘ and 7‘.
[19] Cf. the very similar entry SpTU 4, 134:11 as well as the very similar use of materia medica in NECK 6:5‘.
[20] Cf. the parallel SpTU 4, 134:9.
[21] Cf. the possible but uncertain parallel SpTU 4, 134:10.
[22] Scurlock (2006), 238 no. 32 restores according to the late alleged parallel SpTU 4, 134:10 [… tug2NIG2.DARA2.ŠU.LAL2 KAŠ].⌈SAG⌉ (…) but the first sign after the broken passage at the beginning does certainly not look like ⌈SAG⌉ but rather ⌈x⌉ LAGAB or similar.
[23] Cf. the parallel SpTU 4, 134:12.
[24] Cf. the possible parallel SpTU 4, 134:11. See also NECK 6:5’ and 63’ above.
[25] Cf. the parallel SpTU 4, 134:13a.
[26] Cf. the possible parallel BAM 230:21as well as SpTU 4, 134:13b.
[27] Cf. the possible parallel SpTU 4, 134:14a.
[28] Restoration according to the possible parallel SpTU 4, 134:14a (see Scurlock (2006), 261 no. 52). Since the following entry in SpTU 4, 134:14-15 should unusually run over one and half a line the respective restoration is not fully certain.
[29] Cf. the possible parallel SpTU 4, 134:14b-15.
[30] Ms. A shows space for two or three signs at most before noting the mūṣu-stone whereas the broken passage in the possible parallel SpTU 4, 134 shows space for at least two thirds of line 15 which in turn must be considered empty if identified correctly as parallel. If NECK 6:70’ is indeed a parallel to SpTU 4, 134:14a, not further materia medica should be assumed before the elkulla-plant (contra Scurlock (2006), 241 no 35).
[31] Scurlock (2006), 242 no. 36 restores according to SpTU 4, 134:16 ([…] x-⌈kul-la⌉). Since this text has been no fully duplicate for the previous passages the ascription as a parallel for NECK 6:72’ remains uncertain.
[32] Cf. similar NECK 6:2‘ and 74’ which mentions šimLI as well.
[33] Scurlock (2006), 248 no. 41 restores ⌈ina⌉ [I3 gišEREN? ḪI.ḪI] but the traces before GIR3 do not look like ⌈ḪI⌉ but resemble more a vertical wedge. One might think of [KI].⌈TA⌉ or another body part.
[34] Scurlock (2006), 249 no. 42 restores further ina I3 [gišEREN? ḪI.ḪI KI.TA GIR3–šu2? la]-⌈am⌉. Here as well as for the previous line no parallel is preserved whereby the suggested restoration is uncertain.
[35] Scurlock (2006), 252 no. 45 restores šim⌈LI⌉ […] which is possible but is not legible without doubt on the actual tablet.
[36] Scurlock (2006), 253 no. 46 reads na4URUDU NITA2 ⌈MUN⌉ but the signs after URUDU are considerably different from NITA2 and MUN subsequently. They look more like ⌈la/ma⌉ and ⌈ub/ar2⌉ or similar signs.
[37] Contra (2006), 253 the tablet shows three horizontal wedges which might after I3 be interpretable as the beginning of BARA2.
[38] Contra (2006), 253 the tablet has most likely not ⌈GIG⌉ since the sign form resembles MI (or U-MUL) which would be the beginning of GIG in Babylonian but not Assyrian script.
[39] Contra (2006), 254 no. 47 which has just ⌈NAM.LU2⌉. The actual tablet shows traces of at least one or two squeezed signs after LU2.
[40] It is not impossible to assume a second entry within this line. See for instance NECK 6:67’-68’.
[41] Mistakenly read by Scurlock (2006), 255 no. 48 as ŠEŠ2.
[42] Against the identification speaks that the AMC continues the catchline of NOSEBLEED possibly with the phrase ana MUD2 KUD-si, see Steinert, BAM 9, 210.
[43] Similar to NECK 5 ms. A this fargm. seems to show no indication of a rubric remark concerning a sub-series.
