1The copy of AOAT 34, 50 does not count this line.

2The last sign might be U[N].

3See Lambert 1960: 148: 60 (with note on p. 326) for a close comparison (noted by Mayer 1976: 396).

4Perhaps [. . . {d}]NAN[NA]? A catchline seems likely here but it could be a colophon, though I would think a colophon would begin after a small gap following the rule line.
