1'. [...]-ba#?
#tr.en: [. . .] . . .

2'. [... ab-ru]-u₂#-ti#
#tr.en: [. . . the str]ong(?)
#note: All restorations are based on duplicates, unless otherwise noted. The meaning of the adjective abru is uncertain; compare CAD A/1, 63 and CDA, 3. Mayer (1990: 469) rightly suggests defining it vis-à-vis the parallel term ekdu, "wild, furious," used in the first part of the line (see duplicates).
