1SA₅.GAL₂ may be a clever writing for SAG.GAL here.
1 A word is probably missing here.
2 This last equation is nowhere else attested (similarly for those in obverse 49 , 50 , 52 and reverse 4 and 35).
3 A word is probably missing in this sentence.
4 "qadi " and "adi " may also refer to two different dialectal pronunciations.
5 A.RA is also a logogram of adi "until".
6 tīru is also a word for part of the intestines.
