## Remarks

An account by Khania Scribe 2 in two sections, each opened by a pair of words set off by dividers: A-DA-KI-SI-KA · A-RA-U-DA ·, then WI-SA-SA-NE with CYP+E 2 and VINb+WI 2; WI-NA-DU · *301-NA ·, then KU-PA-ZU with CYP 3 and the fraction A, and figs (NI, shown as FIC) 2 J B. Between the 3 and the A of the fifth line the surface is lost. A-RA-U-DA is written over an erasure (Younger). The stand-in's size and outline are its own. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
