Quoted text:

Gudea’s Statue B (iii:1213) stated that his lord Ningirsu gave him heroic strength. Another royal epithet was “outstandingness,” e.g., in a crowd, from whom deities traditionally selected Sumerian rulers. Gudea’s statues depicted him as being larger than life and broad-chested, reflecting the Sumerian word for “ruler,” “lugal,” “big-man.”

Can you help explain what (iii:1213) is in reference to? Is it a book citation? Maybe if it’s a stele citation, can you link us so we can add a full citation?
