1The 2011 print edition of RINAP 4 overlooked this line and, therefore, the line count of this column now differs by one line; viii 2´–16´ = vi 1´–15´ of the old edition.

2The reading of the name ^mbu-du-DINGIR follows PNA 1/2 p. 350 sub Būdi-il. See the note to text no. 1 (Nineveh A) v 62 for further details.
