K 11210 (Ass. 7)
It possibly joins K 5694 (Ass. 2). The fragmentary condition of the colophon precludes identification; see https://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/asbp/rlasb/librarycolophons/colophonsexplained/index.html and Schnitzlein and Cohen 2024.

Commentary
col. iv: The broken lines contain a shortened version of colophon c, or colophon h of Assurbanipal’s library (see https://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/asbp/rlasb/pager). This is the second tablet with a colophon of Assurbanipal’s library, the other being K 19639.
