Kurzbeschreibung |

Outline.5 is exceptional among the outlines of the nuntarriyašḫa- festival, both in content and in form. It provides significant variants for several days of the festival DAY 5–6 (obverse) and DAY 31–32 (reverse) and is the only version that presents a description of a single day written in multiple paragraphs. Moreover, together with Outline.2 and Outline.12, it must have been one of the longest versions of the festival.
