The second version of the day-tablets describing DAY 4 of the nuntarriyašḫa- festival comprises previously identified manuscripts (mss. A and B) as well as one additional text (KUB 20.18, ms. C). These texts describe the ritual at the river in Ḫišurla, the final stage of the king’s journey to Taḫurpa, as well as the great assembly held in the ḫalentu- complex of the latter city.

KUB 2.7 was recognized as a day-tablet of DAY 4 in Güterbock H.G. 1961d: 90 n. 30. KBo 11.73 was identified in Popko M. 1986d: 222f. For the edition of both fragments, see Nakamura M. 2002a: 141–170. The join to KBo 11.73 was proposed by Groddek D. 2004a: 79f. Ms. C has been mentioned in Nakamura M. 2002a: 88f. as possibly belonging to the nuntarriyašḫa- festival and is accepted in the present edition.

KUB 2.7 was previously treated as a duplicate of the texts found in Version 1 by Groddek and Nakamura. However, the overlapping content extends only through obv. i. The preserved portions of the second column demonstrate that KUB 2.7 must originally have contained a different and more extensive description of the celebrations.

Despite showing considerable differences in column width (ms. A – approx. 8 cm; ms. B – approx. 5 cm; ms. C – approx. 6 cm) all mss. were originally likely three-columned tablets.

Unlike the manuscripts belonging to Version 1, which exhibit IIIc sign forms, the manuscripts of Version 2 all seem to have been written in the New Script.
