1'. [...] x# [...] x# [...]
#tr.en: [...]

2'. [...] x# x# [...]
#tr.en: [...]

3'. ina HUL ša₂#? ia₂-a-ši [iš-šak-na-am-ma ...]
#tr.en: Concerning the evil that [has befallen] me [and . . .].
#note: For thoughts about various restoration possibilities here and in line 5ˊ, see Maul and Strauß 2011: 36-37.

4'. an#-nu#-u# ṣa-lam bu#-[un-na-ni-šu₂]
#tr.en: This (is) the image of the v[isage]
 
5'. ša₂# NENNI# A# NENNI [...]
#tr.en: of so-and-so, son of so-and-so [. . .].

6'. lu#? ša₂#? ina MAŠ₂.GI₆-MU ZI.ZI#-[a ...]
#tr.en: Whether one who in a dream of mine constantly rose up [against me . . .]
#note: Maul and Strauß suggest restoring lū ša qāssu iššâ, "or one who has raised his hand (against me)," in the gap at the end of the line (2011: 36). See KAR 228, obv. 8 (= PP369192). As they note (37), the line was written over an erasure.

7'. lu ina KA-šu₂ E₃{+a} lu [...]
#tr.en: Whether it came from his (own) mouth, or [. . .]
#note: There is no reason to insert a ša after LU, as do Maul and Strauß (2011: 36). The duplicate in KAR 228, rev. 1 (= P369192) does not attest it: ⸢lu⸣ ina KA-šu₂ u₂-ṣa-⸢a⸣ (collated, against Ebeling's reading); see also a similar line in KAR 228, obv. 9, which reads [lu] ina KA-šu₂ u₂-ṣa-a. (Both lines are cited by Maul and Strauß 2011: 37.)

8'. ša₂ ah-ṭa-a u₂-qal#-[li-lu ...]
#tr.en: which I neglected, I held [in contempt . . .]

9'. ša ana-ku ah-ṭa-a u₂#-[qal-li-lu ...]
#tr.en: which, indeed, I neglected, I [held in contempt ...]

10'. a-di 7(diš)-šu₂ lu#-[u? pa-ši-ir ...]
#tr.en: Up to seven times (i.e., completely) may it be [released . . .].

11'. [am?-si? qa?]-ti#?-ia UBUR#?-[ia ana UGU-šu₂]
#tr.en: [I (hereby) wash] my [ha]nds (and) [my] chest. [On its head]
#note: Maul and Strauß (2011: 37) have proposed reading NE, a logogram for fever (ummi) or fire (išāt), at the head of this line in the duplicate (KAR 228 [= P369192], rev. 5). I owe the reading am-si to CAD Š/1, 417, which makes better sense in context as a ritual transfer.

12'. [u la-ni-šu₂ aš₂]-pu#?-[uk ...]
#tr.en: [and its frame I (hereby) p]our (the oil). [. . .]
#note: For the assumed oil here, see the ritual instructions in KAR 228, rev. 20 (= P369192).
