Commentary

L’inscription a été répertoriée comme la suite de ARE 1918 393 (CEC 8) sur la transcription de l’ASI. Or, elle se trouve sur la face nord du mur d’enceinte, en-dessous de CEC 11. Elle ne peut être ni la suite directe de CEC 8 par son emplacement ni celle de CEC 11 par son contenu. Elle comporte sept lignes sur une longueur de plus de treize mètres. Le début manque.

The name of the king and his regnal year appear at the end of line 4. It was probably already mentioned at the beginning, now lost, of the record.
