1Line 10 should record the name of the structure being restored, but the identification of the final sign(s) is not certain. Ex. 1 has: A-x (see minor variants [p. 216]) and ex. 2 appears to have A-NE.UD. A. George read the line as A.GÀR-DIŠ and suggested that it might refer to a baked-brick fitting of some sort (House Most High p. 100 no. 480).
2ta*: The final vertical wedge is omitted on ex. 1. Ex. 2 appears to have ⸢gin₇⸣, which would allow the translation “(re)built with baked bricks his ancient royal cella within Eḫursaggalama as (it had been) of old.”
