24GIŠ.EREN GIŠ.ŠUR.[MÌN] “c[eda]r, šur[mēnu]-wood”: The reading is based on J. Novotny’s collation of the original and J. Novotny and S. Yamada’s collation of the photograph published in Tadmor, Tigl. III (pl. LV). The restoration was suggested by J. Novotny, who noted parallel lists of woods in Sennacherib inscriptions from Nineveh; for example, cf. Luckenbill, Senn. p. 96 line 79.

25ṣur-ru-uḫ si-ma-a-ti “to splendidly provide appropriate decorations”: ṣur-ru-uḫ is taken here as an unusual writing or as an audial mistake for šurruḫ “to make magnificent.” GIŠ.ši-gi-ri [x] x “the locks [...] ...”: E. Frahm (AfO 44/45 [1997–98] p. 403) suggested reading the signs as GIŠ.ši-gi-ri-[ši-na] “[their] locks.” However, collation does not support the restoration of ši-na after GIŠ.ši-gi-ri.

26<eš-ma-re-e> “ešmarû-silver”: The insertion here follows CAD Z p. 13.

27ki-šu-u: Taken as an alloform of kisû “supporting wall”; see CAD K p. 430.

28mu-lab-[bi]-ra e-pi-ši-šin “Which Make Their Builder (i.e., the King) Long-Lived”: Following E. Frahm (AfO 44/45 [1997–98] p. 403), e-pi-ši-šin is taken as a participle. Cf. the translation of Tadmor (Tigl. III p. 175): “(the King) Who Made Their Structure Everlasting.” Tadmor probably took e-pi-ši-šin as the infinitive of epēšu (referring back to the palace, and not to the king).

29az-[ku]-ra “I na[m]ed”: The reading follows Schramm, EAK 2 p. 135.
