Moreover, I would bring you a sheep offering every year and offer (it) to your honored divinity. Now, the enemy has overcome me so that I am a poor man. My brothers did not come to my aide.

1There is an erasure between the final two signs in the line.

2As van Soldt notes (1990: 85, note k), the understanding of AN KA as DINGIR-ka is problematic. We expect an intervening phonetic complement, as in other instances of ilūtu plus pronominal suffix (see lines 16 and 20). It may be best to read DINGIR-<ut>-ka ra-bi-tum here ("your great divinity"), though this does little to clarify the context.

3Might the unclear sign be a malformed SU?

4There is an erasure between the ŠA and the AQ. There seems to be a scribal error with the last sign (see Lenzi 2015).
