2The restoration at the beginning of the line is based on text no. 8 line 7, text no. 103 ii 27–28, and text no. 116 line 16. One might restore instead [aškun dabdê], “[I brought about the defeat]”; cf. in a similar position text no. 9 line 12 šá-kin taḫ-te-e and text no. 13 line 14 šá-kin BAD₅.BAD₅-e.

3The restoration at the beginning of the line is based on text no. 8 line 8 and that of the end of the line is based on text no. 103 line 37. One might restore instead ú-[šaḫ-rib KUR.ur-ar-ṭu], “I [laid waste to the land Urarṭu]”; see text no. 8 line 8 and cf. text no. 9 line 15 and text no. 13 lines 18–19 (participial form of verb).

4Assuming that the left side of Frgm. C is related to text no. 7 lines 112–113, the episode of Mutallu of Kummuḫu, this line might end [... .ḫat]-tu-ú, “[... Hitt]ite” (see Kapera, Folia Orientalia 17 [1976] pp. 96–99, which has [... pa]-tu-ú). For a copy of the traces before ú, see the minor variants section (collation by J.G. Westenholz).
