9/23.31

An URIII document which is a bit obscurred by salty accretions but from which one can read that it records the receipt of something by Adad-rabi, overseer. It is dated to the second year of the king Ibbi-suen.

The year names of this king are intersting. The second year is called: mu en-dinanna unuki mash-e i3-pa3  (The year that Ibbi-Suen) chose by means of the omens the en-priest of Inanna in Uruk.

It of course needs reading again after the  salt accretions are removed.

A large and rare Old Babylonian document with some loss and repair, but is rather intriguing.

The script is very small and from only photographs it is possble to read only the following names:

Arad-ilishu; Sheria; Sin-imitti; Shamash-rabi; Ipku-X;  Pala;  Ubarrum.

112 mm x 73mm.
