The script is irregularly sized Neo-Assyrian, with signs ranging from 2.5mm to 4.5mm in
height. The Winkelhaken and single vertical downstrokes of some signs are impressed
quite deeply (e.g. U and BI on line 10). A double vertical ruling separates columns,
slightly wider than other tablets at ca. 5mm-6mm. There is one horizontal ruling separat-
ing the text into sections, but no edges or ruled margins are preserved. The clay is rela-
tively free of impurities. Under the discolouration on the surface of the tablet, the colour
is terracotta with segments of whitish-brown, indicating some uneven baking tempera-
tures that may indicate baking in a conflagration.

The script is Neo-Assyrian, and is quite corroded at some points. The writing ranges from
3mm to 5mm, and the horizontal direction of the lines tends to shift very slightly down-
wards to the right. The fragment is from the right edge, and a margin of about 6mm can
be seen on that side. There are no ruled lines, whether vertical or horizontal.

from strays” (J.E. Reade, "Rassam's Babylonian Collection," xxix).
