Epigraphic note

GORILA I 42–43: .1 KU-PA₃-RI-JA · KỊ-MA+RU[ .2 6 MA+RU-ME 10[ .3 9 ½ MA+RU-MẸ 6 .4 PA-SA-RI-JA · MA+RU-MẸ[ .5 RỤ-Ị-KO · MA+RU[. MA+RU is the wool ligature (A559), RU’s arms drawn across MA, and it opens the group on every line. On .1 KI is dotted and was written in after the ligature (note .1), which sits on the broken right edge. The second transcription opens .5 with a bracket.
