1. Apparently a list of offerings begins here.
2. Cf. OBW, 593.
3. Perhaps to be rendered, O Enlil; cf. OBW, 8².
4. B. 5940.
5. The sign mê (išib) signifies "incantation," "enchantment" (OBW, 478^{5, 6}) and also šasû, "to speak." The context indicates that here me means to "say as an incantation."
6. OBW, 62³.
