PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • The two manuscripts vary in how they write the word ṣibûssu ‘his desire’, but are otherwise the same. Collation confirms the sign Á before the sign ÁŠ in K 09057.2 i 4’. This is omitted in If a City 2 (194, 32.62’, Ex(4)2).
  • If a City 2’s (172, 32.62’) reconstructed transliteration is based upon K 03730+.
  • The line count of K 09057.2 differs between the current edition and If a City 2.
