The procession omens are preserved in at least three different versions, an Assyrian and aBabylonian one from Nineveh and another from the hand of Nabû-zuqup-kēnu (T."120"Ass,T."120"Bab,T.120NZK).Astheydifferinthechoiceofsectionsaswellasintheirarrangement,theseversionsareeditedseparately in theArchiveouverteof theUniversityofGeneva.A fourthversionfrom Uruk seems to parallel the Assyrian version from Nineveh and is, thus, intergrated in thepresentscore(seetheargumentsbelow).TheusualdesignationasT.120isbasedonthecolophonoftheNabû-zuqup-kēnu tablet (K.3074 + K.11004), the place and the Tablet number in theNinevehversionhasnotyetbeendetermined(thus,T.XY). AllthreeversionsstartwithtwosectionsontheappearanceofMarduk,atleasttwoofthemcontinuingwith omens concerning the boat ofMarduk (NZK's version breaks off after the first 31omens).TheAssyrianversion(reconstructedonthebasisofthefourjoiningfragmentsNinNA1a–d)breaksoffinthemiddleoftheboatsectionandresumesatthebeginningofthereversewithomensconcerning activities to be avoided at the begining of the year (ll. 58–76, not attested in theBabylonianversion).Thelayoutofthetabletdoesnotallowplacingthebraziersection,onlyknownfromtheBabylonianversion(T."120"Babll.46–63),withintheprecedingbreak.FollowingRm.429(alistofincipitsofŠummaālu),wheretheincipitofthehorsesectionisplaceddirectlyafterthatoftheboatsection,wesuggestthesameorderfortheAssyrianversion.ThesamearrangementisattestedintheUrukmanuscriptsaswellasintheUrukcatalog,whichmakesithighlyprobablethattheUrukversionisclosertotheAssyrianthantotheBabylonianversion.
