Commentary
Damaged witness of positions 5–6 of the IO Za 2 formula: ]I-PI-NA-MA · SI-RU[-TE. The preceding text is lost, and TE is read beyond a damaged join after RU. The normalized pair is supported by intact IO Za 2 and KO Za 1. I-PI-NA-MA is interpreted contextually as ‘in the presence of’; ‘sacred song’ renders the proposed abstract šīrūt from √š-y-r, not ‘service/ministry’ from √š-r-t.
