Commentary
Bu 91–5–9,217 (text no. 2004), a cylinder fragment preserving part of an inscription of Naqīʾa describing construction at Nineveh, is not included here since it is regarded as a parallel text, not as a duplicate. The titulary of Naqīʾa, Sennacherib, and Sargon II may differ in that inscription. A score of this inscription is provided on the CD-ROM.

A short inscription on the reverse face of a clay tablet records that Zakūtu (Naqīʾa) dedicated an ornate piece of jewelry to the goddess Mullissu at Aššur. The text was composed sometime between 680 and 669 BC since Esarhaddon is referred to as king of Assyria. Another of her inscriptions is found on the obverse of the tablet (see text no. 2005).

This bead was reportedly held in a private collection. It is unclear whether the object was a bead or plaque, and the dimensions of this piece are likewise not known. The inscription was not collated since its present location is unknown.

Commentary
The bead was in the possession of Dr. J. Rouvier in Beirut (1898) and later owned by R. Garret of Baltimore (1952). The present location of the object is not known, and thus the inscription has not been collated. It is impossible to tell from Scheil's edition whether or not the text ends with Sennacherib's name.
