Archive description
The chief protagonist of this small group of nine tablets is Šamaš-iddin/Niqūdu(= Šamaš-perˀu-uṣur?)//Rēˀi-sisê (10 Nbn-3 Dar), who is also known as a scribe of temple texts. The tablets are in the British Museum, in the former Offord collection (now South African Museum) and in the Gothenburg City Museum.
Most of the texts are promissory notes. In one text, Šamaš-iddin’s sister Ahāssunu is the creditor; Šamaš-iddin himself is the debtor. One text is an adoption: Šamaš-iddin/Šamaš-perˀu-uṣur/Rēˀi-sisê (= Šamaš-iddin/Niqūdu?) manumits and adopts his slave Nabû-uterri. A brother of Šamaš-iddin, Šamaš-aplu-uṣur, is known to have been a tithe farmer of Ebabbar.
