1KUR EME.GI₇, “the land of Sumer”: Exs. 3–4 and 21 appear to have KUR EME.KI (with the third attestation in ex. 21 only written KUR EME without a following GI₇ or KI sign), while exs. 19 and 24 have KUR EME-ri. Based on these spellings, it is possible that the scribes were reading the logogram EME as šumeri with KI as a determinative in the former case and ri as a phonetic complement in the latter.

2Ex. 3 omits GÌR.NÍTA KÁ.DINGIR.KI “governor of Babylon.”

3Ex. 3 adds MAN KUR EME.⸢KI u URI⸣.KI “king of the land of Sumer and Akkad” after MAN KUR aš-šur.KI “king of Assyria.”

4Ex. 4 leaves the space after an incomplete qé-reb (the text has qé-GIŠ) uninscribed, thus omitting bal-til.KI.
