PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The last sign of VAT 10167 r. 19’ is difficult to read from the available photograph as it rests on the curve of the manuscript’s edge. The reading È is taken from KAL 1 (16-17 Rs. 19’ A19’).
  • Although line VAT 10167 r. 19’ omits writing -ti in both instances of the suffix -šunuti, Akkadian grammar necessitates its inclusion. KAL 1 (16-17 Rs. 19’ A19’) emends the second of the two, but omits the first. If a City 2 (174, *32.19’) omits both.
