Reverse of UM 18

Notes:

The surface of this fragmentary tablet has disappeared everywhere but on a portion of what is evidently the reverse, and the adjacent left corner of the tablet's upper edge. The preserved surface bears a seal impression on an uninscribed space followed by the remains of three lines of text, probably the year name. On what remains of the seal impression a seated deity is visable, with a solar(?) disc in front of him and the legend naming the seal's owner behind him; of the legend, parts of the last two lines are preserved: [dub? -] sar? / dumu Lú-[    ].
