Footnotes
32:1 That is, Accado-Sumerian. 32:2 The name of the king was really Sarganu (perhaps of the same origin as the Biblical Serug), but his Accadian subjects misunderstood it, turning it into Sarru-kinu, “established king,” which was written in Sumerian Lugal-ginna. 32:3 That is, Kassite or Kossæan. 33:1 Literally “the messenger of the treasury (of heaven).” 34:1 The correct reading of this word is doubtful. 35:1 The Assyro-Babylonian translation is a paraphrase, as in some other instances. The Accado-Sumerian compound is literally: “The Moon-god has established a head.”
