PHILOLOGICAL COMMENTARY
  • Collation confirms that the fourth to last sign in line K 03730+ 42 is to be read iḫ not i as read by If a City 2 (194, 32.64’, Ex(1)). Further, there is a large gap in the middle of the line not indicated in If a City 2. The signs DU.DU are almost completely missing from the manuscript and need to be reconstructed within the gap. A single vertical wedge is all that remains. If a City 2’s reconstructed transliteration (172, 32.64’) and translation (173, 32.64’) are also similarly affected.
