1Reconstruction of nadānu, CAD Š/3, p. 240

2collation Doty AfO 43/44 p. 115

3Monerie (2014, 130) suggests Nidintu-Anu for patronymic, requires collation

4Doty AfO 43/44 p. 115: suggests female may be "unnamed daughter of Demetrios II and niece of Antoichos Sidetes, whom Phraates married late in his reign after defeating Antiochos Sidetes' invasion." clarify the term introducing the arsacid ruler; = szi-am < szi(-') 'aforementioned' (fem. dem. prn), ie, 'which aforementioned (year is equal to)'?
