[1] Identification E. Schmidtchen.

[2] The ascription of this fragment to the series as well as witness A is not fully certain. Cf. especially the passages in col. iv as well as the diagnostic formulation ana libbi uznišu […] on the obverse. If the possible position of joining both fragments at the end of the reverse of A is correct, the subsequent joining place on the obverse should be directly before the beginning of A obv.

[3] Cf. Steinert, BAM 9 (2018), 210 ll. 11-12. Cf. the possible parallels Labat (1970), iii 10’-15’ as well as the mentioning of the symptom description and the diagnostic omen apodosis in Sakikkû 8:13.

[4] Restoration Scurlock (2006), no. 339.

[5] Or sip(ME) for esēpu “to gather, collect”?

[6] Maybe MUN or TIM?

[7] Restoration Scurlock (2006), no. 316.

[8] The restoration of taq-ti-ru “fumigants” at the end of the line in Scurlock (2006), no. 316 following BAM 471 ii 8’ is uncertain.

[9] Scurlock (2006), no. 316 suggests the uncertain form ḫipṣu (“ḫipṣu-preperation”) which may better be interpreted as ḫibṣu “lump (of …)”.

[10] Maybe something like GEŠTU.MIN-šu₂ i-šag-gu-ma or together with the indication of a particular side (GEŠTU GUB₃/150-šu₂), but the unusual form TAB.BA in A i 15’ might suggest, according to Scurlock (2006), no. 159, the symptom of an inflammation.

[11] Scurlock (2006), no. 159 restores ⌈KU⌉-[pi …], which is not impossible but uncertain without parallel.

[12] Cf. the note in Scurlock (2006), no. 159 which interprets the unusual spelling either as “funeral offering-plant” (šaman kisikkî) or the writing of an unknown foreign plant.

[13] For restoration see the parallel RSO 32.109ff given in Scurlock (2006), no. 136a.

[14] Scurlock (2006), no. 145 interprets this fragmentary passage convincingly as an insertion of materia medica into the ear (ina MUD ⌈GEŠTU⌉.[MIN-šu₂ …]) via a straw (uppu, MUD) but it is likewise possible that the traces might actually refer to the often attested insertion of a bronze tube (ina MUD ⌈ZABAR⌉) which fits better the remnants following MUD (UD.[KA.BAR^? ina GEŠTU …]). See CAD U/W, 184 sub 2a.

[15] Cf. entry 11‘.

[16] For the restoration see Scurlock (2006), no. 149a following BM 76023+ (ibid. no. 149b).

[17] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:22‘-23‘ having slightly differently EN₂ PEŠ.DU₈ ib-ni ^de₂-a IM.[MA.AN.NA AN].⸢KI⸣.A IGI BI.IN.GUR₅.UŠ / NA₄ li-is-suh-šu₂ NA₄ li-kul-šu₂ NA₄ lis-kip-šu₂ NA₄ liš-pi-šu₂ NA₄ li-pa-sis-su TU₆.EN₂.

[18] The parallel BM 76023+ (Scurlock (2006), no. 149b) reads li-is-suḫ–šu₂ at this position followed by li-is-k[ip–šu₂].

[19] Scurlock (2006), no. 149a restores ⌈liš-pi⌉-[šu₂] “may the stone lace [it] up”.

[20] Scurlock (2006), no. 151 restores ^gišEREN, on the basis of the spelling MUD₂ ^gišEREN within the same position in the following entry, for which very little space is left. Including the genitive-case of the following ingredient arandi one might rather think of dām arandi “blood of a wild ass (as a Deckname?)/sap of arantu-grass(?)” (araddu/arandu) than just arandi for arantu/arandu “a kind of grass” as assumed by J. Scurlock.

[21] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:14‘-15‘.

[22] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:16‘-17‘.

[23] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:18‘.

[24] The suggested parallel BAM 506:18‘ has differently SI ḪUŠ.BI (…).

[25] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:19‘-21‘.

[26] It is quite possible that ^šimŠEŠ (see the previous entry) is likewise to be restored here.

[27] According to Scurlock (2006), no. 154 note to ii 12, 14 the join is not a direct one as suggested by Köcher’s copy, but leaves room for one or two signs.

[28] See for the expected space between the fragments the note to entry 26‘. The traces might belong to [^šim]⌈LI⌉.

[29] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:26‘-27‘ and BAM 507:2‘-5‘ (slightly varying).

[30] See for the expected space between the fragments the note to entry 26‘.

[31] See for the expected space between the fragments the note to entry 26‘.

[32] Cf. the parallel BAM 508 iv 18-27 (EN₂ nig₂-e₃ nig₂-e₃ nig₂-nam-ma uš-[bi^?] / ki-a dim₂-ma-bi a-ri-a an-na-⌈ke₄⌉ / sig₇-alam-bi nig₂-an-gen₇ šu nu-te-⌈ga₂⌉ / ḫur-sag-gen₇ gul-gul sig₇-alam-bi zi-ir-zi-ir-e-[de₃] / [nig₂] udug ḫa-ra-an nig₂ udug kaskal-am₃ / [nig₂]-ni₂-zu mu-un-ši-in-gen-na nig₂-ni₂-zu mu-un-ši-in-gen-na / ^dnin-urta lugal ^gištukul-ke₄ ⌈gaba⌉-[zu ḫe₂-en-ga₂-ga₂^?] / ḫul-dub₂ zi an-na ḫe₂-⌈pad₃⌉ [zi ki-a ḫe₂-pad₃]) suggesting ca. 2 lines missing before the start of the incantation after entry 31’. Cf. also Geller, Forerunners to Udug-ḫul (1985), 40 (tablet 5, l. 377ff.), without ḫe₂-pad₃-formular as udug-ḫul-incantation. It is suspicious that this rather canonical Sumerian incantation has been left out within the incantation compilations for ear ailments (see the parallels for the surrounding incantations).

[33] Or EN₂ an-ni-ta₅/ŠEŠ? Due to the spacial distribution it is uncertain if the rubric has to be restored according to BAM 508 iv 26-27 (KA.INIM.MA DIŠ NA GEŠTU.MIN-šu₂ i-šag-gu-ma …).

[34] Cf. the parallels in BAM 506:32‘-34‘, BAM 507:6‘-8‘, BAM 508 iv 28-31 and CT 51, no. 199:14-17.

[35] Cf. the parallels in BAM 506:35‘-37‘, BAM 507:9‘-14‘, BAM 508 iv 32-34 and CT 51, no. 199:18-20.

[36] According to Scurlock (2014), 718 to be restored after BM 41373 i 6-10 (= iii 52’-56’). See also the parallel Labat (1970), ii 11’-13’.

[37] It is uncertain if the space from the beginning of the line until the break is enough for restoring the whole symptomatology.

[38] See for a possible restoration the parallel Labat (1970), ii 14’-20’ (DIŠ NA GIG-ma GIG-su ina …). But  cf. also the similar symptomatology in entry 41’ (fever).

[39] The traces, which hardly visible, might indicate rather ana then ina.

[40] The meaning of this passage is uncertain. The translation of Scurlock (2014), 382 (“You have him eat saḫlû-cress upon which nothing has been allowed to fall in emmer bread.”) remains evenly unclear. Why mentioning that none of the saḫlû should have been fallen into emmer-bread? In my view, it is more reasonable to assume that the saḫlû has to given to eat to the patient together with emmer-bread (ina, instrumental).

[41] Cf. the parallel BAM 3 iii 50.

[42] Cf. the slightly varying parallel BAM 3 iv 12 (GU₇–šú u SIG₃.SIG₃–su-ma).

[43] See the partly parallel BAM 3 iv 14.

[44] Most likely describing nešmû “hearing” (dual).

[45] Restoration according to BAM 3 iv 14.

[46] The suggested restorations following BAM 3 are uncertain since this passage has been left out or is additional to BAM 3 iv 14.

[47] Restoration according to Scurlock (2014), 373, although this restoration (LUGUD (MUD₂-BABBAR)) seems to be a guess following entry 40’.

[48] See similar BAM 3 iv 20.

[49] Scurlock (2014), 737 indicates a ruling which is, at least on the copy, not within the text.

[50] The traces suggest a sign beginning with a Winkelhaken, so one may reconstruct ^giš⌈DIḪ₃⌉ or similar.

[51] Reconstructed parallel to the previous line according to Scurlock (2014) 737.

[52] Scurlock (2014) seems to associate the unusual form kam-ka-ma with kanku “sealed; sealing”, interpreting it as a kind of “glue”.

[53] Reconstruction according to Scurlock (2014), 374. But without a parallel I am rather uncertain about this unusual passage.

[54] Contra Scurlock (2014), 734 which has GU₂.MURGU₂.

[55] Scurlock (2014), 374 interprets this sequence as I₃–šu₂ “its fat/oil”. It is unclear if x an might be read as ⌈GAR⌉-an since the broken passage seems rather short for a prescription like [(materia medica) + ana libbi uznīšu] ⌈GAR⌉-an.

[56] Scurlock (2014), 734 interprets this unusual phrase as “to utter a turuʾu-cry”, in vein with the suggested verbal form [ta-ša₂]-⌈as⌉-si at the beginning of the following line.

[57] Cf. the partly parallel Labat (1957), col. ii 1-7’ for iii 12-15.

[58] There seems to be too little space for restoring the expected ŠA₃.

[59] The interpretation of Scurlock (2014), 374, which has been provisorily adapted here, is highly uncertain. One might likewise restore [x (x)] ša LU₂.U₁₈.<LU> referring to a skull, bone or similar.

[60] Scurlock (2014), 375 restores […] ⌈ḪAR^!⌉.ḪAR.

[61] Interpreted as “(his) hearing” (še-mi-[šu₂ …]) in Scurlock (2014), 384. However, the previous column uses differently the term nešmû.

[62] Or MUD₂ <^giš>DIḪ₃?

[63] See for restoration cf. BM 41373 i 1-4 = iii 48‘-51‘.

[64] According to the parallel BM 41373 1-4 this traces should belong to SUD₂ but in connection with the previous materia medica SUD, which fits better the traces, might better suit the context. Cf. also the new fragment B.

[65] It is uncertain if the restoration according to BM 41373 suggested in Scurlock (2014), 376 is correct since the space of the break seems too little for this.

[66] See for restoration cf. BM 41373 i 6-10 = iii 52‘-56‘.

[67] The space seems to be not enough for the suggested restoration in Scurlock (2014), 376.

[68] Or […] x ⌈MIN⌉? Cf. similar maybe the following entry 58’ (GU₇.MIN).

[69] Or does it belong to the healing introduction ana bulluṭišu which is attested for this sequence at least within the entries 60’ and 62’.

[70] Maybe in the meaning „chopped“or “grinded” (adj. from kaṣāṣu)? The phrase ša gaṣṣātešu usually describes “firewood (gaṣṣātu) men”.

[71] While the restoration I₃ BUR el-lam ana SAG.DU-šu₂ ŠUB-di in Scurlock (2014), 376 is likely, the following restoration [… saḫ-le₂-e] ina NINDA (…) is uncertain since no parallel is given by Scurlock.

[72] Contra Scurlock (2014), 376 which has mistakenly A.ESIR^! but ESIR (iṭṭû) = A+ESIR₂.

[73] The interpretation as šūšu ”liquorice” is uncertain.

[74] Scurlock (2014), 377 restores ⌈KUM₂^?⌉ which is, due to the fragmentary state of the passage, uncertain. The traces look like MI, AB or similar.

[75] Scurlock (2014), 377 has SIG₇.SIG₇ but the signs within the copy are clearly KU₇.KU₇.

[76] Scurlock (2014), 377 restores the rather unusual phrase DU₁₀ [IGI-mar].

[77] For the restoration of A iv 11-19 cf. the parallels in BM 41289 ii 4‘-13‘ as well as Labat (1957), 109-122 iv 10’-14’ for iv 11-14 and ibid. iii 17’-18’ partly for iv 19.

[78] Scurlock (2014), 378 restores furthermore <^sig2AKA₃ [SUD]> which is sincerely in need for the application. It is otherwise uncertain, if this instruction has been explicated within the Babylonian or Nineveh-text.

[79] Within the parallel BM 41289 adds after ^gišMAŠ.ḪUŠ the ingredient BURU₅.ḪABRUD.DA.

[80] CAD Ḫ, 126 interprets ḫasīsu (meaning 1) as “apertures of the ears” instead of “outside of the ears” as suggested in Scurlock (2014), 386. Cf. likewise the bread called ḫasistu which is most likely not meant in this instance. Usually the term ḫasīsu for direct reference to the ears is not attested as fem. pl.

[81] Scurlock (2014), 378 restores SAG.DU-⌈su⌉ [KUD-is MUD₂.MEŠ^? KUM₂^? ana ŠA₃ GEŠTU-šu₂ tu-na-tak] but the traces after SAG.DU look apparently different from SU. It is therefore much likely, that there may have been another bird, resp. its head, was mentioned. The traces fit ŠIR which suggest the restoration of BURU₄(ŠIR-BUR) for āribu “raven” or “crow”.

[82] For restoration cf. the entries of the last half of BAM 503 col. iv.

[83] Scurlock (2014), 378 interprets the signs as I₃.GIŠ ina KA-ka ana ŠA₃ GEŠTU-[šu₂ …] “[You blow] oil into [his] ears with your mouth” which is a rather unusual formulation. One might likewise think of an unusual spelling of a plant (I₃ ^gišaš-ka-du₁₁^? or similar) whose oil is applied to the ears of the patient or a scribal error.

[84] Cf. the partly parallel Labat (1957), 109-122 iii 4-9.

[85] Scurlock (2014), 378f. restores further [ina UD 4.KAM₂ <LUGUD ša₂ ŠA₃> GEŠTU^?]-šu₂ <E₁₁–ma> (…).

[86] Differently interpreted in Scurlock (2014), 379/387 as ^tug2DUL-šu₂ “his cover”.

Since K. Simko worked a lot on this material (with A. Bacskay) I hope for comments and suggestions from this side. Since the CDLI-photo of Sm. 950, the only safe fragment of CRANIUM 4 (see preliminary transliteration), is partly hard to read and its copy in CT 23, pl. 50 differs to some degree better photos (or collations from the actual tablet) are in need.

Here some notes and ideas on the distribution of CRANIUM 4 and 5 as well as possible fragments for which I hope the aforementioned authors might have some more elaborate ideas and suggestions:

– according to Bácskay/Simko, JMC forthcoming BAM 494(?), 495(?), 497-499(?) might belong likewise to UGU 5; for UGU 5 and adī-section of the AMC cf. further BAM 33 (extract) and AO 11447 (extract, see Geller, JMC 10 (2007)); Sm 950 is unlikely to be a fragm. of BAM 494 due to the shape of the break at the respective position of col. i, although it is uncertain if BAM 494 (and similar texts) represents the continuation of UGU 4 or UGU 5

– the spacial distribution as well as the content of the fragments suggest: 1. (UGU 4?) a tablet on lesions and skin complaints on the head (beginning with Sm. 950 and maybe continuing with BAM 494 which notes again I₃ ^gišEREN syllabically I₃ ^giše-re-ni as in Sm. 950)[1] and 2. (UGU 5?) another tablet whose later columns draw attention to the hair and similar complaints[2] (BAM 498-499)

– but Sm. 950 does not fit the break of BAM 494 which would indicate, that at least two mss. of UGU 4 have been preserved

– further possible fragments: 70-7-8, 86 (AMT 52/5, rimûtu and šimmatu of the body, dupl. K. 16421, maybe also belonging to witchcraft or Ghost induced illnesses?), K. 2471 (DIŠ NA SAG.DU-[su …], maybe also guraštu/gurāru^?, cf. DIŠ NA I₃ la-ta-ki ŠEŠ₂–ma SAG.DU-su gu-[…], so maybe BAM 494 col iv?), K. 10549 (SÍG SAG.DU BABBAR u x […]), K. 13505 + K. 16419 (DIŠ NA SAG.DU-su bar […][3]), BAM 34 (AO 7482, nA palaeography, according to Köcher maybe Niniveh, GIG PEŠ(.GIG) = kurāru)

[1] Other similar fragments without mentioning the head explicitly: 495 (ašû), 497 (ašû), 500 (ašû).

[2] Cf. the catchline to UGU 5 mentioning stinging pain in the middle of the head

[3] See maybe baršu “patchy“ (OB said of hair).

[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.

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.

• 49. A ii 1 with note 1: GAZI[^sar] GIBIL DAB — GAZI[^sar] BIL₂–lu, with BIL₂–lu being used as a verb, rather than as a verbal adjective, in the sense „the kasû-plant you roast (= taqallû), crush and sieve“. Even though BIL is the correct rendering of the verb qalû, the writing BIL₂–lu for taqallû would not be as unusual as the otherwise unattested phrase GAZI[^sar] GIBIL DAB, meaning „take (…) fresh kasû-plant“. As Scurlock (Sourcebook, p. 336 n. 106) already noted, such a meaning should be conveyed by SIG₇ and (ŠU).TI.

(made of) combed wool“; cf. BAM 510 i 3′, although without ^sig2GA.RIG₂.AG.A (also in CAD K pp. 542ff. and Attia JMC 25 p. 7 with the translation „tu fixes une terse de Laine“)
• 54. A ii 14: ˹ZA₃.HI˺.[LI] — ˹ZA₃.HI.LI˺; there are some parts of the sign LI that can still be seen on the photo, including the head of the first lower horizontal wedge, parts of the Winkelhaken and the head of the two vertical wedges at the end
• 54. A ii 14: A GEŠTIN.NA — A.GEŠTIN.NA
• 61. A ii 23: ˹^{šim}EN.DI^?˺ — ˹IM.DI˺; the posological remark 1/3 SILA₃ is followed by what seems to be the remains of the sign IM; the plant name IM.DI is often written without the determinative, for which there is not enough room in the break 
• 61. A ii 23: ˹1/2^?˺ ˹SILA₃˺ ˹ar₂^?–gan^?˺-nu — ˹1/2^?˺ ˹SILA₃˺ [^gišar^?–ga^?–a]n^?–nu; I am not sure about the proposed reading ˹ar₂^?–gan^?˺-nu, because the photo of the tablet shows only the remains of a single horizontal wedge running in between the end of the break and the sign NU (Köcher’s hand-copy has three); the reading could be something like ˹1/2^?˺ ˹SILA₃˺ [^gišar^?–ga^?–a]n^?–nu
• 61. A ii 24: DIDA ŠEG₆.GA₂ ˹ṭe-ne^?–ti^?˺ — DIDA ŠEG₆.GA₂ ˹ŠU˺.TI; the reading ˹ṭe-ne^?–ti^?˺ hardly makes sense in this context, not to mention that there is not enough room for so many signs in the fragmentary passage; there is room only for one sign, which is most probably ŠU
• 63-64. A ii 28-29: why read ina IZI^? in the first line and ina DE₃ in the second? The same phraseology occurs in both lines.
• 66. A ii 32ff.: he₂-en-gi-gi — he₂-en-gi₄-gi₄; the reading should be based on the parallel passage in CRANIUM 3 155“-156“ (K 4023 = AMT 102/1 etc. iii 11′-12′ // Sm 967 = BAM 486 iii 1′-2′), which clearly has GI₄; see also another parallel passage in the Late Babylonian tablet from Kish OECT 11 71 rev. 1-2
• 80. A ii 50: the preposition ina should be in italics
• 89. A ii 63: I am not sure if the emendation <ina^?> is necessary here, pašāšu is a verb with double accusative after all
• 93. A ii 67: LAL-id — LAL
• 94. A ii 68: ˹^u2˺MA₂.EREŠ.MA₂.RA — ˹^u2˺MA₂.EREŠ₄.MA₂.RA
• note 27: „a parallel is again BAM 486 i‘ 9’f“ — BAM 486 i‘ 9’f. does not belong here; there are two parallels to this passage, namely BAM 489 rev. 9’ff. and CRANIUM 3 198“‘-199“‘ = BAM 493 rev. 5f.

 

• 96′. A iii 1: DIŠ [KI.MIN^?] — DIŠ K[I.MIN^?], although the traces at the beginning of the line look rather like the sign A. Does the prescription skip DIŠ KI.MIN and start by listing the first drug directly at the beginning (i.e., A […] „water of […]“ or IL[LU …] „resin of […]“)? Should this be the case, I wonder whether the first vertical wedge in the following lines stands for DIŠ or something else.
• 100′. A iii 5: ina A GAZI^sar — ina^! A GAZI^sar; on the photo I see two horizontal wedges preceding the sign A in A GAZI^sar.
• 108′. A iii 18′: DABIN IN.NU.HA — ZI₃ ^šeIN.NU.HA, since the previous two drugs are also flour.
• 112′, 113′ and 114′. A iii 23, 27 and 28, regarding the phrases SIG₂ DU-ta₅ GUB-zi, munšub₂ nig₂-gub-ba and SIG₂ SAG.DU NIG₂.GUB.BA: in its third column, CRANIUM 1 moves on to the hair whose loss is expressed in BAM 480 iii 23 with the phrase SIG₂ DU-ta₅. As the syllabic writing in the related passage BAM 497 ii 3’ // BAM 499 i 20’ demonstrates, this phrase is šārtu aliktu in Akkadian. Now, the question is how to understand the other verb GUB = uzuzzu that pops up three times in the lines BAM 480 iii 23, 27 and 28. The first time it is certainly an infinitive constructed with the preposition ana to describe the purpose of the procedure, which is to make the hair stop falling (lit. “in order to make the going hair stay”); a similar construction can be found in BAM 499 ii 10’, this time with the preposition adi: a-di SIG₂–ša₂ GUB-zu NU DU₈. Far more problematic are the other two attestations in BAM 480 iii 27 and 28, transliterated both by Worthington and Scurlock as nig₂-gub-ba / NIG₂.GUB.BA. As for interpretations, Worthington seems to suggest two contradicting translations of the verb GUB, the first one being “cause (the falling hair) to remain attached” (infinitive construction in BAM 480 iii 23), and the second “fallen (head-hair)” (nig₂-gub-ba / NIG₂.GUB.BA in BAM 480 iii 27 and 28). Scurlock’s translation, on the other hand, is consistent in the case of all three instances: “to make (the hair that is going) stand firm” (infinitive construction in BAM 480 iii 23), “(hair) which stands firm” (nig₂-gub-ba in BAM 480 iii 27) and “to make (the hair of the head) stand firm” (NIG₂.GUB.BA in BAM 480 iii 28). The problem that arises from such an understanding is that nig₂-gub-ba / NIG₂.GUB.BA is neither a verb nor a verbal adjective. If anything, it is a nominal form created by the combination of nig₂ and the subordinate construction gub-ba. This is hardly the case, however. The rendering of this difficult form should rather be munšub₂ nig₂ gub-ba “the hair which stands firm” in Sumerian context (Sumerian incantation in BAM 480 iii 27) and SIG₂ SAG.DU ša₂ GUB.BA KEŠ₂.DA.KAM₂ “(wording of the incantation to) bind the head-hair which stands firm” in Akkadian context (Akkadian rubric in BAM 480 iii 28). An interesting alternative to the latter description can be found in the parallel passage OECT 11 71 obv. 8’, which says SIG₂ SAG.DU ša₂ DU ŠU.DU₈.A.KA[M₂] “(wording of the incantations to) hold back the head-hair, which is falling out” (not NIG₂.GUB ŠU.DU₈.A.KAM₂ as suggested by Scurlock in Sourcebook p. 335 n. 96).
• 113′. A iii 26: al-dub₂.˹ba˺ — al-dub₂-˹ba˺
• 113′. A iii 26: munušub₂ — munšub₂
• 113′. A iii 27: al-mu₂/keš₂^?-da mu₂/keš₂^?-˹da˺ — al-keš₂-da-keš₂-˹da˺; this should be a single verb containing, most probably, a reduplicated stem, with the help of which the intensity or plurality of the action is expressed. From such an understanding of the verb it would follow that the incantations and the accompanying rubrics are in fact dealing with the “binding” of hair (al-keš₂-da-keš₂-da > al-kešda-kešda) and not with its “growing”, since in this latter case the reduplicated form should rather be al-mu₂-mu₂.
• 116′. A iii 32f. with note 9: Scurlock’s restoration is based on the parallel OECT 11 71 obv. 9′-10′.
• 118′. A iii 36f. with notes 10 and 11: again, Scurlock’s restoration is based on the parallel OECT 11 71 obv. 11′-13′. Here, too, the passage with the second I.BI is in a fragmentary condition, but the remains of the last sign might point to GI (s. especially CDLI photo). Note that the repetition I.BI GI I.BI ˹GI^?˺ would be consistent with what follows in the text.
• 122′. A iii 42ff. with notes 13 and 15: like before, Scurlock’s restoration is based on the parallel OECT 11 71 obv. 14′-16′, which is of great importance, because it helps us segment the incantation more precisely:
  1. MU.UL.LU: MU.UL.LU.U (Scurlock missed an additional Winkelhaken following the sign sequence MU.UL.LU)
  2. ha-ba-re-eš: the interpretation „noisily“ would make much sense if the word that follows were indeed hal-hal-la-ta „kettle-drum“. This does not seem to be the case, however (s. below). What contradicts the reading ha-ba-re-eš is the fact, furthermore, that OECT 11 71 divides the sign sequence in two consecutive lines, with „ha“ and probably „ba“ occurring at the end of l. 14′, while „re“ and „eš“ at the beginning of l. 15′.
  3. hal-hal-la-ta: note the Glossenkeil in OECT 11 71 obv. 15′, separating hal-hal from la-ta.
  4. [(x) du-ru^?]-˹na˺-aš^? du-ru-na-aš: the repetition does not seem possible, since the parallel passage in OECT 11 71 obv. 16′ contains the remains of what appears to be signs like MA U BA and probably NA right before the sign sequence du-ru-na-aš. Based on the Oxford text, an alternative rendering of the passage might be something like [x x ma u-ba-n]a-aš du-ru-na-aš.
• 126′. A iii 50: UZU ZAG UZU ˹ME˺.[ZE₂] ˹UZU˺ KA.NE — ^uzuZAG (imittu) ^uzu˹ME˺.[HE₂] (himṣu) ˹^uzu˺KA.NE (šumû); these three types of meat occur consistently together in the type of rituals presented by CRANIUM 1; see for instance the respective places in Maul Zukunftsbewältigung pp. 130 l. 12, 133 l. 79, 294 ll. 12f. etc.
• 126′. A iii 50 with note 19: ^gišŠITA^? — GIŠ.GAN₂; one should look at the parallels AMT 91/1 rev. 5 // AMT 92/4 rev. 10′, where the sign is written with two (AMT 92/4 rev. 10′), as well as with three vertical wedges (AMT 91/1 rev. 5). Based on this attestation, I would not exclude the possibility that sometimes GAN₂ contains only two verticals. As Worthington (JMC 5 p. 28) suggested, GIŠ.GAN₂ might be an abbreviated form for kiškanû. For ^gišŠITA see Borger MZl p. 327, where it is noted that this form is not attested in monolingual Akkadian texts. 
• 126′. A iii 50: ^giš˹MA₂.EREŠ^eš˺.MA₂-le-e — ^giš˹MA₂.EREŠ₄˺^eš.MA₂–le-e

Therefore, I would not exclude the possibility of IGI-lim occurring in between ^u2IGI-20 and “sailor’s dung”, even though at first glance the break does not seem big enough to accommodate so many signs.
• 127′. A iii 52: mu-nam-nir — mu-nam-mir
• 128′. A iii 55: ^gišŠITA — GIŠ.GAN₂; s. remarks on 126′ A iii 50 with note 19.

• 130′. A iii 59: ˹tu˺-[še-lam-ma^?] — ˹tu˺-[bal^?]; I would restore the passage in preference for Scurlock’s suggestion, because I am not sure if there is enough room in the break for so many signs.
• 130.’ A iii 60: [GAR-an^?] — [MAR]; the drugs are usually not “put on”, but applied in different ways. The verb MAR would be fitting in this context, since the prescription presents this verb once more in l. 62 as part of the very same construction ana UGU GIG MAR.

[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.
