= W 22729/12; transliterated after SpTU 3 copy
obverse
(broken)
reverse
column 1'
beginning broken
1'. szu#-nun#-[du] = [...]
2'. IA-'-u2# = [...]
3'. mu-[a?]-ri = et,#-[lu?]
in 1st sub col.: as all other mss. have mu-a-ri/ru, it is likely that there was an A sign on the tablet, either now (broken) or faintly preserved
4'. a-ri-ri = MIN<(et,#-[lum])>
5'. mu-tum = MIN<(et,#-[lum])>
6'. mu-ru-usz-szu-u2 = MIN<(et,#-[lum])>
7'. e-ri-szu2 = ha-'-i-[ru]
8'. ha-da-szu-UL = ha-sza2-szu?#
in 1st sub col.: read UL as du7?; in 2nd sub col.: final sign = 2 short sequential horizontal wedges at break, acc. copy
9'. ha-da-szu-UL = kul-lu-[tu?]
in 1st sub col.: read UL as du7?
10'. pu-us-su-um-tum = MIN<(kul-lu-[tu?])>
11'. ab-du = ar2-du
12'. re-e-szu = MIN<(ar2-du)>
13'. du-usz-mu-u2 = MIN<(ar2-du)>
14'. du-usz-mi-tum = a-ma-tum#
15'. asz2-ta-pi-ri = ar2-du u a#-[mat?]
in 2nd sub col.: for reading, see NB ms. I (= BM 132709) rev. i' 31': ar2-du u a#-mat?#
16'. ab-ra-a-tum = ni-szi#
17'. ni?#-is#-sa#-a-tum = MIN<(ni-szi#)>
in 1st sub col.: ni?# = top of oblique wedge head, acc. copy
18'. [...]-tum# = MIN<(ni-szi#)>
in 1st sub col.: for possible restoration see NB ms. I (= BM 132709) rev. i' 34': ba-u2-la-ti
19'. [...] = [ab]-ra?#-a#-[ti?]
in 2nd sub col.: ra?# = 1 top horizontal wedge at point of break, acc. copy
rest broken
column 2
beginning broken
1'. [...] IMIN = 2(disz)
2'. [...] KI? = 2(disz)
3'. [...] x = 2(disz)
in 1st sub col.: acc. copy x = winkelhaken + final vertical wedge (= NA?)
4'. [...] x = 2(disz)
in 1st sub col.: acc. copy x = upper winkelhaken or oblique wedge + final vertical wedge
5'. [...] x = 2(disz)
in 1st sub col.: acc. copy x = remnants of 2 A-like final vertical wedges, or perhaps a vertical wedge + final horizontal; if the latter perhaps read: [... i]-lim?#
6'. [...] = 2(disz)
7'. [...] = til-mun
8'. [...] = ba#-bi-il
9'. [...] = e#-lam-tum
10'. [...] = MIN#<(e#-lam-tum)>
11'. [...] = su#-bar-tum
12'. [...] = MIN#<(su#-bar-tum)>
13'. [...] = esz3#-nun-na{ki}
14'. [...] = MIN#<(esz3#-nun-na{ki})>
15'. [...] = gu!#-u2?#-ti{ki}
in 1st sub col.: copy reads: bi#-i-ti; 1st sign is probably GU; needs coll.
16'. [...] = GU2#-DU8-A{ki}
17'. [...] = ku?#-ma-ri
in 2nd sub col.: ku?# = portion of a final vertical wedge head, acc. copy
18'. [...] = [kak]-mu#-u2
rest broken
