(rest of surface missing)

1If the readings here and in the next line are correct, the scribe has begun both lines in the middle of a poetic line of the prayer.

2There looks to be two Winkelhaken to the left of IM at the head of lines 4ˊ, which I take to be a colon, separating two poetic lines of the prayer on one line of the tablet.

3The last two signs, š[ul-mu], would have been written over the margin/edge.
