[1] This may likewise refer to a comparison like DIŠ U₂ GAR-šu₂ GEN₇ ^gišMA.NU or similar, usually found in the paraphernalia-lists like Abnu šikinšu and Šammu šikinšu. But the following entry, which likewise seems to quote from Šammu šikinšu, suggest an abbreviated format, using just the naming passage and following with the therapeutic prescription.

[2] The CDLI-photo shows clearly MU which would hint on šumšu “it’s name”, referring maybe to paraphernalia-lists like Šammu šikinšu. The entry on murrānu seems not be preserved within the known fragments of Šammu šikinšu, cf. Stadhouders (2011).

[3] The CT copy shows just three vertical wedges (which led Campbell Thompson (1937), 36 to the translation “three times”) whereat the CDLI-photo shows traces in the middle of these wedges that might hint on a higher number or (6 or NUN^!?). See also the small traces which might belong to two Winkelhaken-elements in front of these three verticals which in turn would suggest the reading ŠA₃–šu₂ “its inner part(s)”. These suggestions are tentative.

[4] Unlikely to be read as ḫun-zu^!-u (lB for ḫumšu “a fifth”?). The interpretation as “powder of dung” has been adopted from Campbell Thompson (1937), 36 although this interpretation has its difficulties. One would expect qēm zê and not qēm zû (see entries UGU 4:2 and 3). Or interpret here as ^zi3zu-u? The sign KU might likewise be read ŠE₁₀ = zû (and similar words) which, in turn, would be a tautology with a following zû.

[5] Cf. the parallel AMT 1/2:5f.

[6] See Stadhouders (2011), 16 § 1.

[7] Or ⌈GIŠIMMAR⌉? The ina as read for the following passage in CAD Ṭ, 13 sub d (ina eṣemti ša immeri turrar) is actually not written on the tablet.

[8] Cf. CAD G, 130.

[9] As suggested in Campbel Thompson (1937), 37 but the sign looks slightly different.

[10] Or read together as ⌈BARA₂^?⌉?

[11] Campbell Thompson (1937), 37 suggest the reading ^gišnu-ur₂-ma-a which is unusual but not impossible.

[12] Cf. the possible parallel BAM 3 ii 9-11.

[13] Campbell Thompson (1937), 37 translates (and restores) “gum of [Galbanum] …” following the possible parallel BAM 3 ii 10.

[14] The parallel BAM 3 ii 11 adds 5 <GIN₂> KUG.GAN before LAL₂–su-ma.

[15] Hardly visible on the CDLI-photo!

[16] Campbell Thompson (1937), 37 as well as the copy CT 23, 50 suggest the reading ⌈KAŠ₃⌉ but the actual photo of the CDLI shows rather ⌈I₃.GIŠ⌉ or ⌈GAZI⌉. Cf. the same formulation in BAM 494 iii 35.

[17] Maybe mistakenly inserted assuming the phrase ŠEŠ₂–ma instead of (U₂.ḪI.A) ŠEŠ(annûti)?

[18] This might represent an uncommon spelling (but see also the fragm. K. 2471:7’ DIŠ KI.MIN ^u2LAG-GA₂ SUD₂ ina […], most likely also connected to symptoms on the head) for ^u2LAG-GAN₂ (kirbān eqli), which Campbell Thompson (Dictionary of Assyrian Botany, p. 117) interpreted as “chamomile”.

[19] Also known in different variants like zibibânu “black cumin(?)”.

[20] Campbel Thompson (1937), 37 (uncertain).

[21] The traces on the actual CDLI-photo look rather different (maybe read as: ana ⌈IGI⌉ ⌈GIG^?⌉ ⌈ZIZ₂^?.AM₃^?⌉) from the copy in CT 23, 50 (diš x x x GAR-an).

[22] Campbell Thompson (1937), 37 translates “thou shalt reduce” (mistakenly interpreted TUR-ar₂ instead of tur-ar₂).

[23] It is uncertain whether this part of the tablet is too scratched for showing any sign-traces or if, despites the worn surface, no text was written until the last and good legible sign MAR.

[24] Following CAD E, 153 from emṣu “sour” (emiṣtu < emiltu).

[25] Maybe think of verbal forms like il-[ta-za-zu-ma …] or similar but the passage is too damaged to be certain.

[26] Might this unusual stone be identified with NA₄ ARḪUŠ (aban rēmi)? AB₂ has the uncertain sign value re/im(e/u)₂. It is unclear whether NE belongs to the preceding stone (maybe aban reme₂-ne^?) or has to be seen as adjective (hot?) or a verbal form (you heat?).

[27] Maybe DAGAL-tu₄? Usually rapaštu is written syllabically in colophons of the BAK 329-type.

[28] The word is usually written with UD (tu₂) since azûgallūt GN would be grammatically the best reading. However, the form has been interpreted differently in this colophon, using the sign TUM₄.

[1] The traces look like a Winkelhaken but might likewise belong to KI, DI or similar. Since the line does not begin with a usual introduction like DIŠ NA (…), KI.MIN, EN₂, DU₃.DU₃.BI and so forth it is much likely that the respective entry in ms. A began at the end of col. iii. The following entry might belong to a incantation rubric which, in turn, points to the identification of this line as a possible incantation.

[2] The restoration of this line is highly incertain. BabMed Corpus BAM 493 reads instead x x ⌈ŠA₃.MEŠ?⌉ […] which differs from the traces shown in Köcher’s copy. The CDLI-photo is actually less revealing.

[3] See also the parallels to this incantation in K. 10428 (BAM 5, 488) ii: 9′-10′ + K. 2354+ (BAM 5, 480) ii: 37-38 (both UGU 1:69‘); K 2509 (BAM 5, 489) Rs. 9′-11′.

[4] BabMed Corpus BAM 493 interprets the traces as me ⌈še-ra⌉ […] which is possible but uncertain due to the fragmentary state of this passage. Cf. also the parallel in the incantation-collection BAM 489 rev 14-16 which might also hint on the interpretation as me ⌈ku₃^?-ga^?⌉ […].

[5] BabMed Corpus BAM 493 suggests ⌈KA^?⌉.[INIM.MA …] but the traces on the CDLI-photo actually look like a sign beginning with a Winkelhaken like IGI, ḪUL, U₃ etc. (see similar the copy of Köcher).

[6] The ascription of these lines of A₅ is uncertain but the only way to integrate the fragment into the alignement of the other fragments of A in col. iv.

[7] The possible second sign might be DI (SA₂^?).

[8] Maybe ^itiAB? The following occurrences of month names are likewise not stringent with the course of the year.

[9] BabMed Corpus BAM 493 interprets differently ⌈EN₂⌉ ⌈7^?⌉-[šu₂ …].

[10] See UGU 3:25‘ (a-ra tu-e a-ra ba-tu-e) or 28‘ (a-ra tu-e di-pa-ra).

[11] See similar also the ritual-prescription in UGU 3:31‘.

[12] It is uncertain whether one should restore DIŠ NA GEŠTU SAG.KI 150-šu₂ (or similar which is somewhat unexpected since the ears are usually not mentioned as being “the ears of the temples”) or DIŠ NA IGI(pān^?) SAG.KI “the front/surface of the temples”.

[13] Contra Babmed Corpus AMT 105/1 (which interprets the signs as UD 8.KAM₂). The CDLI-photo shows definitely nine small wedges and traces of a Winkelhaken-like element in front of it which would likewise better fit the variant UD 9.KAM2, just skipping the Winkelhaken.

[14] An erroneous form for tu-še-ṣa-ʾ?

[15] This uncertain word might also be considered as a corrupt spelling of ŠUB-di^? ina^! saḫ-le₉ GU₇ similar to the end of the following entry reading ḫibṣa ina saḫlê ikkal.

[16] A surprising rubric (most likely referring to the content of roughly col. iv) which one would usually expect within the colophon.

[17] Contra BabMed Corpus AMT 105/1 (reading ⌈mat⌉-[qu]-⌈tu^?⌉).

[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.

[1] According to Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2006), n. 245 the unclear term SA.AD/AB might refer to the hair of a cat (usually SA.A).

[2] See also the parallel Ashm. 1924-788 (OECT 11, 71) obv 17’-22’.

[3] Differently read in BabMed Corpus AMT 103 as n[am-ba-lu]ḫ. The traces of the first sign show only one vertical wedge which excludes the reading of NAM which begins in all instances within this incantation passage with a prominent horizontal wedge.

[4] The traces look more like E (beginning with two horizontal wedges) or similar but not like another BUR₂ as suggested in BabMed Corpus AMT 103.

[5] The traces look like 15 but the KA-sign in the following course is clear so that 15 might be a mistake, resulting from the similar sign forms of 15 and u 7 (which has just one additional wedge).

[6] See the parallel Ashm. 1924-788 (OECT 11, 71) obv 23’-24’. Remark Bácskay: Besides K 8090 1′; K 4023 ii 27-29 and K 7834 2‘-5‘ this incantation and its variant are also preserved in the following cuneiform tablets: OECT XI, 71 obv. 23′-24′; BAM 489+BAM 508 iv 18-20 (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. 19-21 (series tablets of Mušš’u) and K 9288 (Schuster-Brandis 2008 Taf. 39) ii 13-16. 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] Or transcribe ^giš:PA ŠINIG? Cf. ms. A₄ 6’.

[8] Consider the sign form, deviating from the usual way to write 7 in these serialised texts from Assurbanipal’s Library.

[9] BabMed Corpus AMT 103 suggests to restore [TI-uṭ^?].

[10] The traces do not look much like AB but rather like two verticals.

[11] The versions of this incantation differ between ms. A and D considerably. Since the underlying language is uncertain, a correct reconstruction or identification of text-corruptions remains likewise problematic. Similar variants are present in the parallel Ashm. 1924-788 (OECT 11, 71) obv 25’-27’ (cf. the beginning EN2 su-ur-ru-ma su-šu?-⌈ḫu⌉ ma-ak-[x] : ti-e na ⌈ḫa⌉-at-ru ḫat-ru-um-⌈ma⌉) which very often inserts gloss-marker which are not present within the Kouyuncik mss.

[12] The CDLI-photo suggests the alternative reading ugu ar-rap(-)ḫa (…).

[13] BabMed Corpus AMT 103 suggests the restoration E[N₂ (x x)] ⌈a^?.ra⌉ [se.e.ri] a.ra ba.[se.e.ri …]) following the possible parallel Ashm. 1924-788 (OECT 11, 71) obv 28′; K 13392 (AMT 60/2) obv 10′ which is rather unlikely (see below). This incantation should be a variant of the incantation cited in UGU 2:10 (a-ra še-ra a-ra ba-še-ra (izi bil-li numun ki-ib-gar …)). The traces in D₁ 18’ might likewise be interpretable as x x ⌈a-ra⌉ ⌈še-ra^?⌉ […].

[14] This approximation follows Simko (2017), folia 15. Cf. most likely K. 13392 (AMT 60/2). See also the possible overlapping between UGU 3:27’ and 28’ and AMT 60/2:1’-3’ ([…] ḫa-[at-ru] / […] x x x [(x)] / […] x ⌈TU₆⌉ ⌈EN₂^?⌉) and 4’ ([… pa]-⌈ra⌉ TU₆ EN₂). The remaining lines of AMT 60/2 (18 lines if AMT 60/2:5’-6’ is interpreted as UGU 3:29’) would also fit the approximated number of around 20 lines until the end of col. ii (Simko, see above).

[15] BabMed Corpus AMT 60/2 prefers te-a but the signs before the vertical wedge (DIŠ?) do not look like ŠE but two Winkelhaken (MAN?). But cf. the suspicious sign-form in A₅ 3’ for ŠE which looks very similar and which would not only justify the reading te-a but also hint on the possible ascription of K 13392 as part of ms. A.

[16] The CDLI-photo shows rather LI or similar.

[17] This looks likewise different from the copy given in AMT 60/2. The traces resemble ŠU₂ DU₃ which would make little sense whereas these are supposedly signs squeezed at the end of the line.

[18] Could this incantation belong to OECT 11, 71 obv 32’-33’ (very corrupt) which is likewise attested in AMT 79, 2 (DT 319) 2’-4’? Especially the latter shows a remarkable similar spacial distribution compared with K 13392 iii 7-9 ([…] ⌈MUL⌉.MEŠ ⌈DU⌉-[ku] / […] ⌈MUL⌉.MEŠ ⌈DU⌉-[ku] / […] ⌈mu⌉ u pi-ia TU₆.⌈EN₂⌉).

[1] This fragment, which K. Simko (2017) has not ascribed to a certain ms., might belong to ms. A (cf. the small size of the “firing-holes”, different from the holes in A, B and C), where it fits the break in K. 2516, most likely joining directly (cf. the direct join of the text in A₂ and A₇ in UGU 3:59’ and 60’).

[2] Simko (2017) excludes an ascription of Sm 967 to K 7834 on palaeographical grounds. The alignment and spacial distribution, especially in col. iv, suggests the ascription to a ms. of group 1 (A, B).

[3] See for a possible reconstruction Scurlock (2005), 332. However, the traces before U₃ seem not to fit the reading ⌈ŠU⌉.[MIN].⌈MEŠ⌉-šu₂ suggested by Scurlock as well as Simko (2017).

[4] Cf. the different interpretation in Scurlock (2005), 332 as MU.ZI. But the sign looks more like a small DU₈ with a preceding Glossenkeil (but not as a subscript), introducing the alternative to ZI “to tear out”, which is here DU₈ “to release”.

[5] The traces look more like DA (but just one big vertical wedge here) or A₂ but not ŠU as restored by other authors which otherwise might likewise be due to the fragmentary state of the passage.

[6] For the restoration of the incantation cf. the parallels listed in Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2005), 334f.

[7] The traces do not look like MA which should, according to the parallels, be read here.

[8] The Glossenkeil, curiously, has been writen inside the sign NI.

[9] The rulings have not been noted by Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2005), 335.

[10] Following Simko, BabMed Corpus AMT 102/1. Since there is no trace of a ruling the restoration is highly interpretative and provisory.

[11] Against Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2005), 335 ([…] ŠU.GIDIM ŠU-su im […]) he rubric of this incantation refrains most likely, in abbreviated form, the symptom description of the tablet’s beginning.

[12] Ms. C only.

[13] Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2005), 335 restores a couple of ingredients within the broken sections of this passage without noting a particular parallel or duplicate but they are most certainly referring to the partly parallels in Jastrow rev 34-39 and BAM 216:41’-47’ (partly).

[14] Due to the number of attested lines for this column the gap shouldn’t be longer than a few lines. If the interpretation of J. Scurlock in Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2005), 335 is correct (cf. also Simko, BabMed Corpus AMT 102/1 ll. 17ff), that B_{i 1’ff}  represents the ritual section of the previous incantation, no line might be missing between ms. C₁ and the beginning of ms. B since the ms. C₁ shows the incantation rubric before the fragment’s break which, subsequently, should be followed by the respective ritual section. In this case C_{1 16’} and B_{i 1’} would represent the same entry (e.g. the ritual section concerning the previous symptom description and incantation). Unfortunately, no traces of the ruling are preserved in the beginning of ms. B whereat the suggested interpretation is tentative.

[15] Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2006), 267 reads ^u2⌈tu-lal⌉ but especially the last sign looks rather like ⌈MIN⌉ or similar. The traces of the first sign are more or less illegible which makes the interpretation of Scurlock highly uncertain without a parallel for this passage.

[16] Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2006), 267 interprets the traces as [… GIŠ₃].⌈NU.ZU⌉ but especially the second sign is hardly being read ZU but certainly U₂ and might belong to ^u2NINNI₅. It is not impossible that the subsequently expected NITA₂ has been written at the beginning of the next line since he displacement of around one sign (or drug item) per line in comparison to ms. B is likewise attested in the next lines of ms. C.

[17] Cf. for the restoration Schuster-Brandis, Steine, 133. Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2006), 284 interprets the first item of this line differently as [^na4sin]-kad₂^?–ru ⌈NITA₂⌉ which is hardly attested.

[18] Following the reading of Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2006), 284 but especially SU₂ is highly uncertain due to the damaged traces.

[19] With Schuster-Brandis, Steine, 134 contra Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2006), 284 (ša SAG.⌈KI.DIB⌉.BA^!.KAM).

[20] Contra Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2006), 278 which indicates the absence of ša₂ in ms. B.

[21] Restoration following Simko (BabMed Corpus AMT 102/1:46).

[22] Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2006), 279 reads the I₃.UDU of ms. B separate from in the parallel BAM 155 iii 17 which should, according to Scurlock, precede the passage preserved in ms. B. However, a closer look on the tablets shows parts of ELLAG₂ after I₃.UDU in ms. B which suggests that it is the same passage here as in BAM 155 iii 17’ and that at least three signs, of which traces of two of them are visible, are preceding.

[23] This sign should qualify the respective sheep, e.g. UDU.NITA₂ or similar.

[24] Cf. Simko (BabMed Corpus AMT 102/1:47): [… U]Š₂ ⌈^gišEREN saḫ^?–le₂^?⌉-[e …]. Contrary to this, the length of the trace after the presumed GIŠ is not long enough for EREN as well as the presumed UŠ2 might be the end of a totally different sign. The following traces are totally conjectural since the first sign might be read saḫ, tu or li, the second is illegible.

[25] This approximation follows Simko (2017), folia 15. The average of this column would then have had around 60 to 65 lines (ca. 59 are preserved).

[26] Or ⌈u₂⌉-[zaq-qa(t)-su …]?

[27] For the restoration of the symptom description cf. the parallels Sakikkû 3:36 (var.), BAM 9:51-52 (var.), BAM 481 obv 13‘-14‘.

[28] There is certainly not enough space within the break to restore this entry according to the parallels mentioned above. This might lead to the assumption that a similar symptom description might have been carried out within the broken section between UGU 3:10 and 11’ on which has been referred to by DIŠ KI.MIN in C₃ ii 1f but which might have been written out in full in A₂ i 3’ff.

[29] For restoration see similar C₃ ii 3-5 and the possible parallel BAM 227:4’-9’.

[30] Cf. CAD T, 268, interpreting this passage as ta-pa-aš₂-<ša₂^?>-aš following the parallel BAM 227:4’-9’ (ta-pa-aš₂-ša₂-aš₂). But consider the very strange orthography noting aš₂ and aš in the same word which either suggests that C3 somehow corrupt the passage reading ta-pa–aṣ₂ for tapâṣ “you crush, scrunch or mash” and interpreting the sign AŠ as ina “with; in” and respectively the whole passage as “you mash (these plants) and leave the medication together with/in tamarisk-sap over-night”. Since this interpretation is not that farfetched one might consider likewise a corrupt reading in BAM 227.

[31] For restoration see similar C₃ ii 6-7.

[32] The overall topic of this tablet might connect this unclear term with the affliction by ghosts.

[33] As with UGU 3:15‘ the ascription of this entry to the similar entry C₃ ii 11ff is, due to the fragmentary state of this passage, uncertain and it is further hindered by the trace at the bottom of the obverse of ms. A₂ which shows the possible remnants of a ruling. Since the symptom description of C₃ ii 11ff runs at least over 3 or 4 lines (maybe 5), the spacial management in ms. A₂ would be problematic, positioning a ruling after two lines. Otherwise, similar discrepancies have been recognizable in UGU 2 where one ms. omits some rulings which are present on another ms. For the difference in the alignment cf. the distinction between group 1 (ms. A, B) and group 2 (C) in Simko (2017), folia 6.

[34] BabMed-Corpus, AMT 103 has ma ḫi ⌈x⌉ […] but directly after ḪI a BAD kind of element is supplemented which let the whole look more like KAM. See also Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2006), n.37a for possible restorations following especially some anti-witchcraft texts with similar formulations (BAM 231 i 10–11, 17; BAM 232 i 90–100, 110, 210; AMT 21/2 + K 15966: 12–13); cf. AMT 14/5: 15). But cf. A1 8 which shows a KAM considerably different from this sign and on which basis the present reading is highly uncertain.

[35] The traces of U₂ suggest the restoration of u₂-zaq-qat-su.

[36] Cf. Campbell Thompson, AJSL 54, 29 n. 238. The restoration is highly uncertain since the respective traces are hardly legible.

[37] Preserved in ms. A₁ ii and B ii only.

[1] Or sum. (^u2)AN.KI NU.TE “It does not reach heaven or earth”?

[2] Although the restoration follows Attia/Buisson (2003), 9 the space within the break does not seem enough for restoring four signs.

[3] The parallel BAM 159 ii 48 has, comparable to UGU 2:73’, 10 GIN₂.

[4] The traces at the beginning of the break look like MUNUS or a similar sign. The break has not been noted in Attia/Buisson (2003), 9. The parallel BAM 159 ii 48 has within the position of the break of ms. A the phrase ana DUR₂–šu₂, known from UGU 2:73’.

[5] Attia/Buisson (2003), 10 suggests the reading ni-[…] which is possible. Otherwise, since the entry before mentions minerals these are likewise supposed to be part of the used material medica in this entry.

[6] Restoration according to Attia/Buisson (2003), 10 following the copy of BAM 482. Otherwise, the sign UR/TEŠ₂ is not that distinct on the actual tablet.

[7] This approximation follows the margin of the length of a gap of 11 lines suggested in BAM V, 482 iv by Köcher together with the number of lines given following in ms. B. See also Attia/Buisson (2003), 10.

[8] The traces look slightly like the beginning of GU₇.

[9] Or read ^na4IŠKILA as indicated in Attia/Buisson (2003), 10. Otherwise, Borger, MZ, Nr. 608 seems to be uncertain concerning the correct reading of the logogram.

[10] The first sign looks like DIŠ and the traces above might belong to a ruling-line. If this is correct, the whole symptom description of B iv 10’-11’ would surprisingly have to be expected in A iv 29’ which is, due to the bad condition of this passage in ms. A, uncertain.

[11] Most likely referring to Utukkū lemnūtu tbl. 10:1ff. The following GAR is curious and might belong to a following secondary attribution regarding the incantation cited.

[12] Th restoration follows roughly Sakikkû 4:34 (cf. Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2016), no. 118). Since the diagnosis is already stated at the beginning of the entry it is most likely not mentioned again at the end.

[13] Obviously a corrupt reading comparing to ms. A iv 31’ ([U₂^?].ḪI.A an-⌈nu⌉-[ti …]). Attia/Buisson (2003), 16 gives the alternative interpretation of this passage being part of the materia medica-chain as [^na4]AN.BAR which is otherwise curious since all other line beginnings of mss. A and B match the content of each other concerning their location.

[14] In Attia/Buisson (2003), 10 mistakenly transcribed as SAG.KI.MEŠ-šu₂ following Köcher’s copy in BAM 482.

[15] Fir restoration cf. the parallel AMT 97/4:6‘ whose therapeutic prescription refers interestingly to the next entry (90’) in UGU 2. The exact wording might likewise follow the parallel Sakikkû 4:19 which notes usually the logographic spellings (e.g. IGI.MEŠ-šu₂, NIGIN-du, ZI-bi etc.), excluding the specification ina majjālišu.

[16] The alleged parallel Jastrow rev 28 in Attia/Buisson (2003), 10 is highly uncertain (cf. also the collations in Scurlock (2003), 17 rev 28 which differ from the readings in Attia/Buisson (2003), 10 as well as the unexpected continuation of ms. B).

[17] This might likewise be the beginning of the next entry in ms. B. There seems to be a corruption between both mss. concerning the evaluation of the material as separated content (or not).

[18] See Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2016), no. 88.

[19] Since only ms. A divides the passges by a ruling entries 89‘ and 90‘ might likewise be regarded as on entry.

[20] See again Scurlock, Ghost-Induced Illnesses (2016), no. 88.

[21] Cf. for restoration the parallel AMT 97/4:7’f.

[22] The plural marker on GU₂ might suggest the alternative normalization of the logogram as dâdānūšu instead of šerʾānū kišādišu. The respective parallel in Sakikkû 4:16 does not note the plural explicitely.

[23] This form is most likely a corrupt reading of the expected SAG.KI DAB-su-ma. Cf. the parallels for the following entries in Sakikkû 4:11, 13, 12, 9. It is further uncertain, if the same curious form has to be restored in ms. A, here as well as in the following four entries citing diagnostic omens.

[24] Cf. Sakikkû 4:13 which suggests a corrupt reading in B adding the time reference (^dUTU.E₃) of the following entry Sakikkû 4:14.

[25] The parallel Sakikkû 4:9 continues (DIŠ SAG.KI-šu₂ DAB-su-ma KI.MIN SA SAG.KI-šu₂ ma-gal ZI.MEŠ) UGU SAG.DU-šu₂ DU₈ ŠU GIDIM₇ GAM.

[26] Curiously, the sign traces do not look like the expected ⌈UGU⌉, ⌈e⌉-[li] or similar but rather like U₂, KID etc. Cf. maybe the variant of the apodosis u₂-šam-ša₂ in Sakikkû 13 (the parallel to UGU 2:92 but without the variant). In general, the space provided in ms. A seems not to be enough for the signs given in the parallel Sakikkû 4:9 (see above).

[27] Another possible reading, which would skip the problem with the odd Sumerian in the second half, is SAG.KI.DAB.BA.KAM₂ EN SA.⌈GIG^?⌉ x (x). Even if the form after annûtu is not clear, it would describe the contextual scope of the tablet. The last sing traces in ms. A, looking like a Winkelhaken, might hint on the sign ⌈KAM⌉ (SA.GIG.GA.KAM^?).

[28] Could this refer to the number of entries, like ⌈2 šu(= abbr. for šu-ši) x (x)⌉ “120 (entries?) for headache and symptoms …”? The position is tempting to read an-nu-tu₄ ⌈bul-ṭe₄⌉ x […] and similar as has been done in Attia/Buisson (2003), 11 but it looks rather different from these. The first trace might be DIŠ or MIN, the following sign looks like MA or ŠU. The last one or two sign-traces are squeezed in-between and might belong to sth. like MAN and DI or TE but these readings are far from certain. Assuming that the first one or two signs are likewise squeezed it might be read ⌈bul-ṭu₂⌉ with question mark. The middle sign might be read KUR instead of MAN and suggest the reading ⌈lat-ku^!⌉ which would be otherwise odd since the adjective should be (following the pronoun at the beginning) be plural. Therefore, the whole passage is far from clear but sincerely not just read bul-ṭe₄.

[29] Contra Attia/Buisson (2003), 11 ms. A shows a ruling-line before the catchline of the third tablet.

[30] Cf. also the possible rubric of ms. B in K. 7822+: ⌈DUB⌉ ⌈2.KAM₂⌉ ⌈DIŠ⌉ ⌈NA⌉ ⌈UGU^?⌉-[šu₂ …]. The ascription to this subchapter of the NMS is likewise suggested by the special distribution of the rubric, much comparable to ms. A.

[31] See again K. 7822+ which might belong to ms. B and shows likewise BAK 329.

[1] Mistakenly transcribed as i-kaṣ–ṣa in Attia/Buisson (2003), 8.

[2] Scurlock (2005), no. 68 restores I₃.UDU ma-ḫir-te [UDU.NITA₂ …] “(You rub him with) marrow from the fibula [of a (castrated) ram …]“.

[3] Differing from Köcher’s copy BAM 482 the tablet has MIN inserted after GU₇ referring back to the MIN in SAG.KI.

[4] With the determinative NA₄ one would expect milʾu “saltpetre” but the following ^na4AN.ZAH GE₆ = kutpû might likewise suggest the interpretation as AN.ZAḪ = anzaḫḫu, a kind of glass. The parallel AMT 97/4:25’ inserts between ^na4mu-ṣa and ^na4AN.ZAḪ/NE the additional mineral ^na4ZALAG₂.

[5] Contra Attia/Buisson (2003), 9 (no traces before ina KUŠ indicated) as well as the copy of BAM 482 iii 46’ (just one wedge before ina KUŠ indicated) there are traces of two signs which should, according to the parallels, belong to tara-bak.

[6] The traces copied by Köcher (BAM 482 iii 47‘) as ta-x[…] are not that obvious on the actual tablet.

[7] Left out in all parallels except Jastrow rev 26.

[8] The tablet shows slight traces of appr. 3 signs of which none can be defined with certainty but which, according to the parallels, should be interpreted as SAG.DU-su.

[9] Contra Attia/Buisson (2003), 9 the sign after the damaged area is not SAR but AB (cf. the two horizontal wedges which are equal in length whereas the lower wedge of all other SAR-signs in A are longer than the middle wedge).

[10] The uncertain restoration follows Attia/Buisson (2003), 9.

[11] Cf. Attia/Buisson (2003), 18 which interprets it as a variant writing GIR₁₁/KEŠ₂ “to bandage/to bind; tie (etc.)” for LAL = samādu “to bandage; dress up a wound”. Consider the form of the suffixed pronoun –su(-ma) which hints likewise at this interpretation. Cf. also UGU 2:46.

[1] Attia/Buisson (2003), 5 emend the uncertain passage to ^gišA bi-ni^!. Otherwise the position of the determinative GIŠ before the component A of the ingredient bīnu would be quite odd and at least the scribe wrote a clear KAL-sign. This might suggest, next to the emendation of Attia/Buisson, other emendations like <qi₂>-lip₂ or the uncommon spelling lip₂ for līpu/lipû “fat, tallow; marrow, pith”. Cf. also the possible reading lab-bi-ni, see Attia/Buisson (2003), 16.

[2] See also the much more elaborated parallel or variant BAM 9:62f (ina ZI₃.KUM ⌈DIDA₂⌉ […] / […A^?].MEŠ GAZI^sar ina KAŠ.MEŠ(corrupt for DIŠ-niš?) ŠEG₆–šal tara-bak LAL-ma ina-[eš]). Cf. similar BAM 11:20. These entries seem to have elements of both entries UGU 2:34 and 35.

[3] The parallel BAM 9:40 adds ILLU ^šimḪAB but replaces the following DIŠ-niš GAZ with GAZI^sar which might be a corrupt reading.

[4] Frequent by-form of AL.US₂.SA = šiqqu.

[5] Attia/Buisson (2003), 6 reads a-na [nu-uḫ₂]-ḫi but the traces after a-na suggest another sign than NU. Despites this, the sign UḪ₂ is visible.

[6] For this symptom cf. BAM 174 (always in connection with sufferings of ṣētu-heat). Most of the other attestations are connected to intestinal problems as well as demonic or divine induced afflictions.

[7] It is suggested by U. Steinert that the menopausal woman is the subject of the sentence.

[8] The traces might belong to a sign similar to BI or IŠ/SAḪAR.

[9] See for LAGAB in front of MUNU_5/6 the parallel BAM 9:15.

[10] Not noted in Attia/Buisson (2003), 6. The traces (a long vertical wedge whose top is damaged) might likewise belong to a purposeful erasure. Although, it looks in my opinion comparable to the form TI-uṭ used in the surrounding entries.

[11] Attia/Buisson (2003), 6/13 interprets SAR (not EZEN!) here as the unusual spelling GIR₁₁ translating “tu appliques” but one might likewise think of SAR = qatāru “to fumigate”.

[12] For restoration see the parallel BAM 3 iii 32.

[13] BAM 3 and BAM 35 seem to differ concerning the reading of BIL-ti₃ or AR₃–ti₃ in connection with saḫlû, cf. UGU 2:54 (with parallels in Attia/Buisson (2003), 7).

[14] For restoration see the parallel BAM 3 iii 20f.

[15] Attia/Buisson (2003), 7 reads DIŠ NA SA SAG.KI ⌈GUB₃⌉-[šu₂ …] but the actual tablet is broken richt within the sign KI.

[16] For restoration cf. the parallel BAM 3 iii 24.

[17] The reading for this word in the parallel BAM 3 iii 25 in Attia/Buisson (2003), 7 (ki-la₂-an) has to be corrected to ki-lal-an.

[18] See Fn. to UGU 2:52.

[19] The restoration follows more or less the parallel BAM 35 iv 1’-2 since it equals the previously used formular of UGU 2 the most whereas BAM 3 shows some deviations (cf. for this line saḫ-le₂-e BIL-ti₃ šum₄-ma ina KAŠ šum₄-ma ina GA UZ3 SAG.DU-su SAR LAL-ma [x (x)]).

[20] This approximation concerning the line numbers follows the reconstruction in Attia/Buisson (2003), 7 restored from the appr. 24 lines missing between ms. A1 (K. 2392+) and A2 (K. 2611) as well as the surplus of 13 lines given in ms. B after the break of A1.

[21] It is uncertain how much lines need to be restored before ms. A2 begins. If the overall structure of the symptom descriptions is still valid, the entry might have been concerned with symptoms of both sides of the patient’s temples as well as both of his eyes.

[22] The parallel in Sakikkû 4:30 has differently DE₃–qi₂.

[23] The parallel BAM 3 iii 10 has differently šur-šum-mi KAŠ but leaves out the KAŠ.SAG of the next line which suggests a possible corruption of the passage in BAM 3.

A = BAM 482 (K. 2392 + K. 2574 + K. 3430 + K. 3924 + K. 4091 + K. 10509 + K. 11744 + K. 16407 (+) K. 2611) (for the join with K. 2392 + 16407, which is not included in Attia/Buisson, JMC 1 (2003), see further Attia/Buisson/Geller, JMC 9 (2007), 47f)[1]

B = AMT 19/1 + AMT 20/1 (K. 6066 + Sm 1063) (cf. further the fragment K. 7822 + K. 15826 which might represent the rubric and colophon of ms. B)

C = K. 19766 (cf. Attia/Buisson, JMC 2 (2003), 18)

[1] Scurlock (2014), 555 reads ḪAB as GIL2, most likely following the similar pattern of the next ingredient ^u2UKUŠ₂.TI.GI.LA.

[2] The parallel BAM 11:1-2 is slightly different: (…) NUMUN ^u2EME-UR.GI₇ NUMUN ^u2e-di / NUMUN ^gišKIRI₆ NUMUN kiš–ša-ni TEŠ₂.BI GAZ SIM (…).

[3] Cf. the parallel BAM 11:4.

[4] Due to the variants EN.DU and IM.DU of this ingredient the proposed reading MIN₃.DU (instead of the usual MAN.DU, cf. Scurlock (2014) and elsewhere) in Attia/Buisson (2003) might be preferable.

[5] Cf. for the possible variants BAM 11:5 (TEŠ₂.BI) and BAM 9:37 (DIŠ-niš).

[6] This plant is usually written with the determinative U₂ but the traces here look more like remnants of GIŠ.

[7] Cf. the parallel BAM 11:7.

[8] The same peculiar writing like in A i 2.

[9] Cf. the parallel BAM 11:5f. The signs of the end of the break in A might belong to the verbal form ⌈tara-bak⌉.

[10] The restoration follows the course of the previous entry 3 (… GAZ SIM ina] ⌈GEŠTIN⌉.SUR.RA tara-bak ZI₃ ŠE.SA.A / [ZI₃ ZIZ₂.AN.NA a-na] ⌈IGI⌉ ⌈ta⌉-šap-paḫ …).

[11] The restoration follows the parallel BAM 11:9 which reads instead of the syllabic ka-man-ti the logographic spelling AB₂.DUḪ.

[12] Witness B is comparable to UGU 1 A in as much as it is reluctant to use the ditto-marker DIŠ KI.MIN at the beginning or first column of the text, which is otherwise used frequently by ms. B (UGU 2). Consider the frequent burning holes in B as well which let the whole ms. B look like a prototype (marking the necessary space with the wedge holes) for later copies.

[13] The parallel BAM 11 seems to prefer ^šimKU₇.KU₇ instead of ^šimGUR₂.GUR₂.

[14] Cf. the noticeable form in the parallel BAM 11:11 (tu-ba-ʾ-a-ru₃).

[15] The restoration for this instance in BAM 11:14 after Attia/Buisson (2003), 4 (t[u-ub-bal^? …]) is uncertain but not impossible. Otherwise one would expect an expression like ina ṣēti tubbal etc.

[16] Although I can’t find a better reading the traces at the end of the line do not look like ID(A₂).

[17] Instead of ^na4mu-ṣu read in Attia/Buisson (2003), 4.

[18] Just ms. B.

[19] It is conspicuous that entries 15 and 16 are not separated by rulings. Otherwise, given that both entries have more or less the same prescription, they have been considered rather as variants than different prescriptions and therefore haven’t been separated in both mss.

[20] Cf. very similar entry 9 (UGU 2).

[21] Consider the different spellings (like i-nam-zu-zu or ina-zu-zu, TI-qe₂ or ŠU.TI), differing symptomatic descriptions (cf. the curious format with pseudo-sumerian spellings within entries 17-23), and slightly varying content (cf. UGU 2 entries 9 and 18-19) which suggest several sources from different traditions and times.

[22] Attia/Buisson (2003), following Köcher in BAM 5 482, continue the second fragment of ms. A with the numbering A i 47’ whose accuracy is doubted here since mss. A and B differ to some degree in number of lines per entry (cf. especially entries 9-11, 25f) which is why the parallel course of lines (which would be 6+ lines following ms. B) in use is possible but uncertain.

[23] It is conspicuous that ms. B left out the ditto-marker DIŠ KI.MIN as well as the ms. has some symptom descriptions written out in toto although it is the same symptomatic issue as in the previous entry (24).

[24] Just ms. B.

[25] For the restoration cf. the parallel BAM 11:34-35.

[26] Attia/Buisson (2003), 5 read [G]I at the end of the line which is quite possible because of the traces in ms. B.

[27] Cinsider forms like ^šimIM.DI, EN.DI etc. which might also suggest a reading ^imMIN₃.DI or similar.

[28] The reading ⌈DI⌉ in Attia/Buisson (2003), 5 is very uncertain and does not fit the few traces.

[29] The interpretation as medical instrument (cf. CAD) has not been adopted in Attia/Buisson (2003), 5 (ina SI pa-ri).

[1] See for other reconstruction for instance Worthington (2005), 13 (ka in[im.ma amēlu^? mê^? gulgullišu^?] la ik-ka-lu-ú). The possible restoration with SAG.DU follows Scurlock (2014), 442.

[2] Worthington (2005), 13 reads ta-had-di-iq, a lemma (ḫadāqu “press together (of body parts?)”, aram.) which has been adopted in the CDA, 100, but which is absent from AHw as well as CAD. Even if Scurlock’s reading of the sings as ta-pa-ti₄-iq “you shape(?) (it) with a cloth” with the sign value ti₄(DI) is unexpected, the verb is at least good attested and would make sense within the surrounding context.

[3] Scurlock (2014), 442 restores ina SAG.KI-šu₂ K[EŠDA-ma].

[4] Consider the much more elaborated symptom description of the roughly parallel text BAM 3 ii 7 (DIŠ NA SAG.DU-su A.MEŠ DAB-al MURUB₄ SAG.DU-šu₂ u SAG.KI.MIN-šu₂ TAG.MEŠ-šu₂ UGU da-da-ni-šu₂ ti-ik-ki-šu₂ …).

[5] Scurlock (2014), 442 reads the damaged passage ⌈I₃.NUN⌉. However, the actual traces before NUN don’t look like NI (= I₃) but might rather suggest the reading EREN proposed in Worthington (2005), 13. The question is if “hot cedar” on the neck and it’s tendons make any sense? Otherwise, hot ghee, as proposed by Scurlock, would intend a kind of rubbing which would have been described as such.

[6] Scurlock (2014), 442 restores LAL instead of ina which is on the base of the traces (a long horizontal wedge at the middle area of the line and some scratches or other remnants underneath it) unlikely.

[7] Restoration following Scurlock (2014), 442 (I inserted a second A in the following kajjānam).

[8] The interpretations of Worthington (2005), 21 and Scurlock (2014), 443 concerning the identity of še-ḫa differ considerably. While Worthington wants to read šēḫu „wind“ e.g. “If a man’s head is ‘windy’ (…)”, Scrulock interprets it as “delirium” most likely resulting from the verb šêḫu (N) “to agitate” (cf. ša šēḫi “ecstatic”). In lexical context one can find a šīḫu-insect (cf. CAD Š/2, 419 šīḫu C) as well, which might be another option for this word as well as considering the verb šiāḫu “to grow (tall)” and the derived noun šīḫu “tall, high, stately”, here interpreted as “growth; inflation(?)”, which might describe a kind of intergrowth that could have been associated with the accumulation of water (consider the position after a number of symptomatic descriptions occupied with the holding of water on different areas of the head).

[9] Restoration Scurlock (2014), 442. Given to the damaged state of the passage the restoration is highly uncertain. Especially the last sing-traces look rather like TE then UD. The respective word might thus have been an attribute of a not preserved ingredient.

[10] Worthington (2005), 13 restores it-te-ne₂-ba-aš-šum-[ma …] but Scurlock (2014), 316 reads differently [NA₄ …]. Both authors place the restoration within the broken area but there are actually some traces left before the break which might rather show similarities with Scurlock’s restoration then Worthington’s.

[11] The question is if the last stone is to be expected within the break of A iv 9 (before [… ^na4]⌈MUŠ^?.GIR₂⌉) or iv 10 (the small space between ^na4AN.ZA.⌈GUL^?.ME^?⌉ and [… ^na4]⌈AMAŠ⌉.PA.E₃).

[12] Against Worthington (2005), 13 (restoring em-[ma ik^?–ta^?]-na-aṣ–ṣa) speaks the space within the break which allows barely the restoration of 2-3 signs. The sign IM is not visible. The same problem arises with the restoration of Scurlock (2014), 316 ([… GEŠTU.MIN-šu₂ i-ta]-na-az-za) for which is hardly enough space. The form ik-ta-na-aṣ-ṣa instead of ik-ta-na-aṣ-ṣi is unexpected but cf. other forms of the verb like i-kaṣ-ṣa (BAM 385 i 23’-24’, BAM 482 iii 5) which should likewise be considered as sg.-forms. Formally a ventive is possible but gives little sense in combination with the meaning of the verb describing the change of a state (“get cold” etc.).

[13] Cf. for the phrase also Böck (2014), 102 BM 98584+ rev iii 30-31 (suggestion U. Steinert).

[14] The same prescription seems to be given in the fragm. K. 13458:7‘-9‘ (nap-šal-ti SAG.DU ⌈PIŠ₁₀⌉-[…] / ⌈KA⌉ A.AB.BA NUMUN ⌈^giš⌉[bi-ni^? …] / [TEŠ₂].⌈BI⌉ ta-sak₃ […]). It is tempting to think of this fragment of another witness of UGU 1 but especially K. 13458:3‘-4‘ (SUḪUŠ ^giš⌈DIḪ₃⌉ […] / NUMUN ^gišŠINIG […]) differs from the text given in ms. A which indicates that this fragment does not belong to the serial tablet one of CRANIUM but might belong to similar oriented additional  tablets like DT 319 (much similar and partly verbatim following UGU 3).

[15] For the restoration of A iv 16ff cf. the parallel BAM 156 ll. 41-44.

[16] U. Steinert suggests also a form of pašāšu.

[17] Or u₂-pi^mu-unzer for upinzer “caterpillar“? Is this form considered to be a wordplay on muzzerrū “enemies”? Cf. the likewise conspicuous form in BM 103386 obv. 16’ (^u2pi-{^x}zer^!(mu)) in Heeßel, Fs. Geller (2018), 339f.

[18] Readings like SIG₇–su “its fresh (lit. green) part(s)” might be possible but curious in connection with a upinzer-insect (maybe “caterpillar”).

[19] Cf. for the restoration the parallel BAM 3 ii 43-45 as well as Scurlock (2014), 317.

[20] Restore maybe again te-[ser-rim …] „you incise (respectively three-times on the right and left side)“.

[21] Or SILA₁₁-<aš> ina I₃ ŠEŠ₂ LAL?

[22] Especially the parallel J(astrow) obv 31-34 seems to be closer to this text then the parallel passage in BAM 3 ii 43-46.

[23] Cf. the parallel J(astrow) obv 34. The other parallel BAM 3 ii 45 reads differently ina LIL₂ I₃.SUMUN ŠUB.

[24] Scurlock (2014), 317 restores [DIŠ (MIN) ^šimGUR₂.GUR₂ ^šimLI NUMUN ^u2AB₂.DUḪ SUD₂ ina I₃ SUMUN ḪI.ḪI] SAG.DU-su EŠ.MEŠ without indicating a parallel.

[25] For the restorations cf. J(astrow) obv 35-42.

[26] Contra Worthington (2005), 14 which interprets the traces after TUK in A as ana ⌈TI⌉ but the beginning of MEŠ is clear.

[27] Worthington (2005), 14 emends I₃.GIŠ to SUḪUŠ whereas Scurlock (2014), 318 disclaims the emendation.

[28] Worthington (2005), 14 as well as Scurlock (2014), 318 read ⌈ELLAG₂⌉ following the parallel J(astrow) obv 43-45. Otherwise the traces look definitely not like BIR(ELLAG₂) but show a horizontal wedge at the bottom and two vertical wedges above it, comparable to the beginning of UR or likewise.

[29] Most probably ⌈DIŠ⌉ ⌈KI.MIN⌉ […].

[30] The restoration of ⌈NUMUN^!⌉ in Worthington (2005), 15 is hardly fitting the traces.
