The fragment comes from the bottom left corner of the tablet and parts of the left and bottom edges are preserved. The obverse duplicates, with variation, text no. 1015 (K 6048 + K 8323) i 5′–14′; the restorations in lines 2′–7′ are based on that inscription.
A fragment of a clay tablet from the Kuyunjik collection preserves part of an inscription of a Neo-Assyrian king, possibly Esarhaddon or Sennacherib based on the phrase uš-te-eš-še-ra ka-ra-ši in line 8′, and thus the text is edited here arbitrarily.

A sizeable fragment of a small clay tablet in the Kuyunjik collection of the British Museum preserves part of an inscription that may recount the sack of Memphis at the hands of an Assyrian king. For this reason it may be an account of a campaign of Esarhaddon or Ashurbanipal to Egypt.

The top and right sides are missing. The script is Late Babylonian and horizontal rulings separate each line. Because the scribe marked every tenth line in the left margin, it is possible to estimate the number of lines missing in the lacuna at the beginning. The inscription was not collated, so the edition is based on W.G. Lambert's copy.
The inscription preserved on K 20241 is a duplicate of Esarhaddon 60..

A small piece of lapis lazuli from the city area in Aššur bears a fragmentary inscription that has been attributed to Esarhaddon. The object is reportedly held in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum, but its inventory number is unknown. According to Pedersén, both sides of this object are inscribed with a text that uses Esarhaddon's name Aššur-etel-ilāni-mukīn-apli (compare text nos. 13 and 74–75). Only a photograph of the obverse was available for study, but the two lines of text make Pedersén's identification uncertain.

Part of the neck and body of a stone jar, perhaps from Nineveh, bears the beginning and end of a proprietary inscription of an Assyrian king whose name begins with the theophoric element Aššur, making its ascription to Esarhaddon, Ashurbanipal, or Aššur-etel-ilāni probable. The vessel fragment is made of calcite/dolomite with banding cut horizontally. The image of a standing lion is incised facing the beginning of the inscription (compare text no. 115, exs. 2–4 symbol 4). The inscription, which is included here arbitrarily, was not collated, and thus the edition is based on the published copy.

A fragment of the neck and body of a stone jar from Nineveh bears part of a proprietary inscription that names Esarhaddon. It is unclear whether the inscription belongs to Esarhaddon or a subsequent king, so its inclusion here is arbitrary. The vessel fragment is made of calcite/dolomite with banding cut transversely. The inscription was not collated, and thus the edition is based on the published copy.

A fragmentary stone vessel, perhaps a flask, bears part of a short proprietary inscription that appears to mention Esarhaddon. Finkel and Reade (Searight, Assyrian Stone Vessels p. 44) suggest that the inscription should most likely be attributed to Ashurbanipal, but it is included here arbitarily. The vessel body fragments are made of a gray-black slaty stone that closely resembles pottery. The inscription was not collated, and thus the edition is based on the published copy.

A flat-based, double-rim stone bowl from Nineveh bears the end of a short proprietary inscription of a descendent of Sennacherib, probably Esarhaddon or Ashurbanipal. Finkel and Reade (Searight, Assyrian Stone Vessels p. 53) argue that the spacing of the fragmentary inscription indicates that it should likely be attributed to Ashurbanipal, but it is included here arbitarily. The vessel, which is more than half complete, was pieced together using five fragments made of mottled black and white diorite. The inscription was not collated, and thus the edition is based on the published copy.

A flat-based, double-rim stone bowl from Nineveh bears the beginning of a short proprietary inscription of an Assyrian king whose name begins with the theophoric element Aššur, thus likely Esarhaddon, Ashurbanipal, or Aššur-etel-ilāni. Parts of the rim, body, and base of the greenish-gray siltstone vessel are preserved. The image of a standing lion is incised facing the beginning of the inscription (compare text no. 115, exs. 2–4 symbol 4), and the significant space between the etching and the beginning of the inscription may indicate that the former was a later addition. The inscription, which is included here arbitrarily, was not collated, and thus the edition is based on the published copy.

A flat-based stone bowl from Nineveh bears the end of a short proprietary inscription that can be ascribed either to Esarhaddon or to one of his descendants. Although Finkel and Reade (Searight, Assyrian Stone Vessels p. 58) plausibly argue that it may be attributed to Ashurbanipal, the inscription is included here, albeit arbirarily. This is the only stone vessel that gives a royal genealogy that includes Esarhaddon, Sennacherib, and Sargon II. The vessel, which is over half complete, was made of brown and white agate. It was reportedly broken in antiquity and repaired at that time using a bituminous adhesive. The inscription was not collated, and thus the edition is based on the published copy.

A cylinder fragment preserves part of an inscription written in archaizing Babylonian script. King (Cat. p. 19) suggested that the text dates to the reign of Esarhaddon, but it should probably be attributed to Nebuchadnezzar II. For that reason, the inscription is not treated here.
