Content

Paraphrase

Family review. Very fragmentary.

Fragment of a larger tablet listing family members without an explicit job title.

The text is schematically organised: in the first line, a man appears with his affiliation. Then, the text is distributed in three columns (without headings) listing the other individuals’ names (i), the indication of their being brother of the man in the first line (ii) and finally the reference of their age (iii) (in the fragment only elders or adults are mentioned, but in the original tablet likely also young men and kids appeared). Family groups are divided by horizontal lines.

Some of the names listed are:

obv. ii:

Bēl-ile’i

Ana-bītišu

Balāṭu and Nūrea

Ardia/Nabû-zēru-iqīša

LINE
