[(m)]MAN-GIN BA-ìš1

(1) Sargon (II) presented (this object).

1G.G. Cameron (in Schmidt, Persepolis 2 p. 58) restored ša at the beginning of the line and translated the text as “[which] Sargon presented”; however, we would then expect the verb to be in the subjunctive (i.e., iqīšu rather than iqīš).
