##note: Assur photo 4123d. It seems that this tablet only preserved the šuila to Ninurta 1 (Q006135). No ritual is attested. The tablet is blank after the rubric until it breaks off. 
##note: The last line on the obverse and the first on the reverse that preserve only traces were probably the last and first lines of their respective sides when the tablet was undamaged.
##note: Restorations are based on duplicates unless otherwise noted.
##note: This transliteration is based only on LKA's copy. 1/8/2024
