(^280) AA refers to Pabilsag (the constellation Sagittarius) in the plural against the singular form in A. In addi-
tion to the subject “MUL meš,” kakkabū, the adjective describing the subject is probably also plural in AA
against the singular in A (see note below). The spelling of the plural verb without MEŠ in AA is already
attested in M109, and see also note above. 281
The plural marker in AA “... šá EGIR meš-šú-nu,” ša arkīšunu, “which are after them,” fits well with the
reading of the subject as plural in this line (see note above). Against this A reflects the singular subject: “šá
EGIR-šú-nu,” ša arkišunu, “which is after them.” However, the sign MEŠ in AA is recorded as uncertain in
H. Hunger and D. Pingree, 282 AfO 24, 39, so is not counted here.
On the presence or absence of a conjunction between the listed names in A ii 36-iii 12 and the parallel
sources see note below. 283
Upon inspection the tablet reveals some traces of what could be the conjunction just before the break in
GG ii 4, or this could be the final Winkelhaken of the sign MUŠ. The damaged sign is visible in the photo-
graph in H. Hunger and D. Pingree, AfO 24, pl. XXI.
