1As already noted by Reiner, ll. 2-3 contain an explicit reference from an as yet unrecovered passage from Lugale. Compare Lugale 707 (ŋeš-apin hé-ŋál pa bí-in-è-a-aš).
2As noted by Reiner AfO 24 (1973) p. 102b, the "marriage of the gods" referred to is the marriage of Nabû and Tašmētu, see SAA 13 78 r 16-17. The rationale behind the explanation remains obscure.
3Compare šarru ḪUL-MEŠ-šú unappaṣ, "the kind will crush his enemies," as an apodosis in K.3780 i 3 and parallels (CAD N/1 287-288).
