2There is a mistake in these lines. Clay (BE 8) proposed to take Arkāt-ilāni as the scribe’s name, but this can not be correct because the name Arkāt-ilāni is used only as a family name in Borsippa. Either the name of the scribe has been omitted (as proposed here) and his father’s name is Nabû-bēlšunu//Ilšuabūšu, or the scribe’s name is Nabû-bēlšunu and there is no mention of the father’s name. Prosopographic analysis could support either possibility: there is a Nabû-bēlšunu/Nabû-aplu-iddin/Ilšu-abūšu, attested from Camb 05 until Dar 19 (BM 96179 no. 54, VS 5 86), and an Itti-Nabû-balāṭu/Nabû-bēlšunu/Ilšu-abūšu, attested in the reign of Darius (BM 94639); none of these texts is part of the Oxherd archive or otherwise connected to BE 8 117.
