The Fragmentary Music Text from Nippur*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 August 2014

Extract

In November of 1977, in the University Museum Babylonian Collection in Philadelphia, Aaron Shaffer identified a small fragment whose obverse is closely parallel to the obverse of Nabnītu 32. His handcopy and transliteration (of the obverse) are presented directly below.

There is little question that this fragment belongs to Nabnītu 32, col. 1 ( = Music Text 2) as reconstructed from U.3011 (UET 7, 126) + K.9922 (see MSL 16, 249–54).
