Two Scraps from CT 34, Plate 17. Two small Kuyunjik fragments never edited since their copy: verb-endings and one place-name, built as what they are.
Never translated before — in any language. No edition and no translation of this text stands in print or on the records checked. The reading below is the first rendering of this text anywhere.
fragments, copied side by side on the same plate of CT 34 (King, pl. 17) and never edited since. Neither carries a story this desk can honestly build: what they carry is verb-endings and one place-name. They are built here as what they are — the program's fragments class — so the ground is closed on the record, not left as a rumour of treasure.**

K.14611 is a right edge: seven line-ends in Akkadian, and every one of them is a wish. May he cut off; may he tear out; may it be sweet; of Šamaš; I; may they choose. The precative li- forms march down the edge like the tail of a blessing or a curse whose body is on another piece of clay, somewhere in the Kuyunjik boxes, unfound. K.15525 is a middle: something "keeps carrying," someone is told "come!", and in its second column a single place-name survives whole — AN.ŠAR₂{ki}, Aššur's city written with the god's own name. Two scraps that prove the library held stories this desk cannot recover from what is served. Recorded, graded, closed.
Transliterations exactly as the records serve them. Counts: 14 line-units — 0 whole, 0 part, 14 fragments, 0 invented (K.14611: 7; K.15525: 7).
Dragon scan (standing order): no ušumgal, muš-serpent, mušḫuššu or bašmu stands on either scrap.

No door stands on either record; both are copy-only since CT 34 (1914-era plate). Release holds behind the triple-check and Richard's read. Branding on any future publication: a Vigslist translation.
