1Restorations are based on duplicates. tr.en: Incantation: O Gula, most exalted lady [. . .]

2The ME instead of the expected MA may have been a mistake influenced by the following ŠI.

3Ebeling's copy in KAR 341 shows DINGIR BAD for the last two signs (followed by Mayer 1976, 453). But a look at the tablet suggests an abraided ŠUR is more likely.

4Perhaps the scribe wrote a-bu- then skipped ahead to ṣab-ti and then returned to finish the initial word with -ut-ti. Such a scribal error would be due to the graphic similarity of the UD and ZALAG₂ signs. (Ebeling's copy in KAR 341 is not quite accurate.) tr.en: Intercede, speak [. . .]

5Several mistakes in the last half of the text confirm the colophon's message.
