GORILA I 6–7: .1 ]DỊ-NẠ-[, both signs dotted and broken on both sides, the hyphen after NA running into the break; .5 DỊ[, dotted and broken after. Top and upper sides broken; the left edge is preserved beside SI-TU-RA₂-RE, KU-PA₃-NU and MA-DI. A 2 opens the QE-RA₂-JA row; damaged surface follows JA (photograph and facsimile).
