Lacuna

1⸢ab-ta⸣-a-ti “des[tro]yed”: The new reading is based on collation; it is not ṣi-ra-a-ti “august,” as it appeared in the 2011 print edition.

2[UN.MEŠ? kul-lat? ma-ḫa?]-zi “[The people of all of the cult cent]ers”: The proposed restorations are based on text no. 117 line 9 and on the assumption that this passage (Borger’s Episode 3) began with the word nišū “people”; see, for example, text no. 104 (Babylon A) i 21 and text no. 105 (Babylon C) i 23.

3After a short lacuna, the narration of the inscription is continued in text no. 108 i.

4par-[ṣi-ši-na?] ú-[maš-ši-ra-ma?] “the[y abandoned their] ri[tes and]”: The tentative restorations are based on text no. 116 (Babylon B) obv. 3′.

5ḫi-⸢ṭi⸣-[tu? šur-šu-ú?] a-⸢sak?⸣-[ku? ak-lu?] “[they were inciting] crimin[al acts (and) infringing on] a tab[oo]”: The proposed conjectural restorations are based on text no. 116 (Babylon B) obv. 5′.

6Based on parallels, the translation assumes that the now-missing ii 24′ contained ipšurū maḫīriš “they sold (it) at market value.” After a short lacuna, the narration of the inscription is continued in text no. 108 ii.

7For the contents of the lower portion of these two columns, see text no. 108 iii—iv.

9Collation does not support the reading [... ši]-ṭir d15.MEŠ “[... the wr]iting of the (names of) goddesses”; the traces look more like [...] ⸢KAL BA/NA U A⸣ x. lem: X; X; X; X; X; X; X; X; X

The translation assumes that ḫadîš lippalisma appeared in the now-missing v 16′. lem: X; X; X; X; X

11After a short lacuna, the narration of the text is continued in text no. 108 v.
