1All restorations are based on duplicates, unless otherwise noted. The meaning of the adjective abru is uncertain; compare CAD A/1, 63 and CDA, 3. Mayer (1990: 469) rightly suggests defining it vis-à-vis the parallel term ekdu, "wild, furious," used in the first part of the line (see duplicates).

2The reading follows Abusch and Schwemer 2016: 310.

3Ru-sa-a-ti is hapax (see CAD R, 425). It may be related to rusû (so Abusch and Schwemer 2016: 312 and CDA, 307).

4The reading near the head of the line follows Mayer 1990: 671. Abusch and Schwemer (2016: 310) prefer to read ri-kis-s]u?-n[u]. There are few traces to work with on the tablet.

5The last half of the line recalls SB Epic of Anzu I 14.

6The translation follows CAD U/W, 192.

7This and the next line recall line 2' above in the previous prayer (according to duplicates).
