The tablets are all badly damaged. Exs. 1–2 duplicate one another up to line 102, at which point the texts appear to deviate from one another. For this reason, exs. 1–2 are edited separately in the edition beginning with line 103 and only a score of lines 16–102 is provided on the CD-ROM. The line numbering in this edition differs from that of previous editions, including Borger's: the text is given consecutive line numbers for the obverse and reverse (=lines 53–110/112) rather than separate line counts for the obverse and reverse. The edition is a conflation of exs. 1–2; the text generally follows ex. 1, but follows ex. 2 in line 50.
The current online version of text no. 48 differs from the 2011 print edition of RINAP 4 in a few places. These changes are based on further collations by J. Novotny; see SAAB 19 (2011-2012) pp. 29-86 passim and JCS 66 (2014) pp. 97-98 n. 26.
