## Remarks

The fullest version of the libation formula. On line 1, JA-SA-SA-RA-[ME · U-NA-KA-NA]-SI is partly restored from parallels: the stone breaks after RA and resumes at SI. The final I-DA-[…] is broken. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
