Texts from Tell Haddad and elsewhere

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 August 2014

Extract

This article presents a number of short, but important, inscriptions found on objects excavated at Tell Haddad and elsewhere. Texts nos. 1–6 are from Tell Haddad or the neighbouring site of Tell al-Sib, no. 7 is from Sippar and nos. 8–10 are of unknown provenance.

1. Inscription of Arīm-Līm of Mê-Turan. IM 124744; Haddad 577 (Figs. 1–2)

This inscription, written on a stone foundation tablet re-used as a door socket (overall dimensions 36 × 22 × 13·8 cm), was excavated at Tell Haddad, out of context near the Neo-Assyrian buildings in Area 3, Level 1, but derives originally from the early Old Babylonian period. The text was made available some years ago to the Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia Project of the University of Toronto, in whose system it is catalogued as E4.16.1. A transliteration and translation has been published by D. Frayne, Old Babylonian Period (RIME 4), p. 700.
