Introduction

This small and badly broken fragment contains meager remains of a commentary on the beginning of the second tablet of the lexical series Ea. The two preserved entries deal with the possible readings of the sign dù; some of the equations are well attested elsewhere (see e.g. the commentary on obv 7′).

The edition below follows closely Civil’s edition in MSL 14.1
