a*-na dIŠKUR .GAL [AN-e (u)]1

ana TI ZI.MEŠ-šú BA-[ìš]4

1a*: The text has DIŠ. Or read ana <<na>> .

2Perhaps -[-šú] or EN?-[šú], “[his] l[ord],” at the end of the line; D. Schwemer (Wettergottgestalten p. 607 n. 4906) suggests possibly dan-[ni], ez-[zi], gaš-[ri], or ṣi-[ri], “mi[ghty],” “fi[erce],“ or “po[werful].”

3If D. Schwemer is correct that there is not sufficient room to restore .AGRIG [GAL-u/ú] (Wettergottgestalten p. 608 n. 4907), the inscription was presumably composed before Ṭāb-šār-Aššur was promoted to chief treasurer.

4The restoration follows text no. 2010 line 5.
