1Or possibly translate “Sutu, Suteans” for .su-u-ti, as suggested by Borger (Asarh. p. 102). Note that Sutu is generally written KUR.su-tu-u, .su-ti-i, .su-tu-ú, and .su-te-e, not .su-u-ti, in Neo-Assyrian sources, including text no. 1 (Nineveh A) v 15. For some textual references, see Parpola, Toponyms p. 320 sub Sutû.
