&P398434 = K 09995 #project: caspo #atf: lang akk-x-stdbab #atf: use unicode ##note: K.9995 preserves the ends of lines from Zarpanitu 1. Found on eBL. 1. [... i-la]-a#-ti# #tr.en: [. . . the god]desses, #note: This is the first line of Zarpanitu 1. The other side shows an unclassified Ashurbanipal colophon on the last lines of what is left of the reverse. It's hard to imagine what short text could have preceded this first line of the prayer. Thus, it seems this is the first line of the tablet's obverse. 2. [...] {d}i₂-gi₃#-gi₃# #tr.en: [. . .] the Igigi, 3. [... ka-nu]-ut# E₂-ABZU #tr.en: [. . . cher]ished one of the E-abzu, 4.
