12. KA#-INIM#-MA ŠU-IL₂-LA₂ {d}DI#.KUD#-KAM₂#?
#tr.en: It is the wording of a lifted-hand prayer to Madanu.
#note: Mayer  (1976: 463, n.27(1)) indicates the presence of ⸢KAM₂⸣ at the end of the line, against Ebeling's copy. I see mere traces after DINGIR. In any case, the deity's name was certainly present when the tablet was whole.
