		Formerly An (reclassified by Bennett 1992, p. 114-115; however, see An 261 v. 4-9, whose text is identical to Un 616 v.; PT3: An/Un).
		An unidentified scribe wrote the recto, while scribe 1 wrote the verso and the lat. sin.: cf. among others the shape of the handle of the logogram AROM and the spelling ko-ṛị-j̣ọ-ḍạ-na in contrast to ko-ri-a₂-da-na in Un 267.5, also written by scribe 1. The lat. sin. is not the direct continuation of the verso, because it was written after having rotated the tablet by 180 degrees around the shorter axis (it should have been written on the lat. dex., but this was already occupied by the extension of line .4 of the recto).
r.	.1	ku-ro-ro₂: ku-‹pa-›ro₂, cf. Un 249.1; 13: the 3 units (by their positions only) might have been added after T, but were probably instead written high to accommodate the expected T and numbers; T minuscule; 5: the fifth stroke is odd, and might have been added to an original 4.
	.2	ka before KA+PO is no more (or less) erased than ku- in ku-ro-ro₂ in line .1 or ko-ṛị-j̣ọ-ḍạ-na in line .5 (or the entire line .7): the supplement ka‹-po› is possible (cf. « tu‑ro₂, TU+RO₂ » of Un 718.4) but not necessary.
	.3	28: the last 5 strokes are irregular and might have been added one by one.
	.4	ME+PO: me-p̣ọ PTT, p. 51, and Bennett 1992, p. 114, ME p̣ọ PT3; the syllabic adjunct was put here after the logogram (not before or incorporated, as in all other known cases) for reasons of legibility (as in OLE+PO in Fr 1203, 1208 and 1479: cf. Fr 343 apparatus); 6: irregular disposition, 4 above and 2 below, perhaps to accommodate the expected S, but the last four are odd in appearance, and perhaps added to original 2; S minuscule; 1 V 4̣ on lat. dex. (perhaps V 5̣).
	.5	Possibly over erasure of whole line.
	.6	Probably over erasure of whole line.
	.7	Possibly over erasure of whole line.
v.	.2	a-pi-qo-‹ta-›o: cf. An 261 v. 5.
l.sx.		10 over ⟦10⟧ units.
l.dx.		⟦ṭạ⟧ at the beginning on the left (read by rotating the tablet 90 degrees to the right).
