1J. Marzahn notes that the traces of the sign after lugal could be those of either unu or kala. Since no other inscription from this period accords a ruler the title “king of Uruk” while several use the epithet “strong king” (e.g., Frame, RIMB 2 p. 222 B.6.32.16 line 6), the latter restoration is preferred here.
