1These ritual instructions closely parallel those attached to Ishtar 2 in BM 26187 (= P208501).
2The word i-la-a-ti is the last word of several Ishtar incantation-prayers (at least, Ishtar 1, 2, 8, and 15).
3Line 8' seems to be set lower than a normal line, suggesting it may be the first line of a colophon. If it is a colophon, it could be Asb t (BAK 332), ana mul-te-piš-u-ti za-mar [ZI-ḫa], or BAK 336, ki-i MURUB₂ GIŠ.LE.U₅.UM.MEŠ GABA.RI KUR aš-šur{ki} u URI.KI a-na taḫ-sis-ti za-mar ZI-ḫa.
