Remarks

*In one frame with A 456, A 456.a and A 456.c. The upper margin of the recto (lower of the verso) is preserved.

Philological commentary

n1Probably better to read tsarūmäṣ than tsaṃ ūmäṣ; cf. Carling and Pinault 2023: 552 s.v. tsarum.
n2: cf. präskāll anäṣ A 179 a1. This must be the attestation noted as "Frgm." in Sieg et al. 1931: 450.
n3The expression pärskāl anäṣ can also be found in A 179 a1 and A 155 b3.
