Kurzbeschreibung |
|
According to the colophons of Version 1, the series was composed for an occasion on which King Tudḫaliya (IV) – introduced in the text with an extended filiation – travels to Arinna to celebrate the nuntarriyašḫa- festival. This composition is among the few produced specifically for this festival, rather than representing pre-existing autumn festival tablets later incorporated within the nuntarriyašḫa- festival tradition. For similar examples, see, e.g. DAY 6 or 13.
This version, represented by four manuscripts, describes the activities of the king, leaving aside those of the queen.

History of publication |
|
All manuscripts belonging to this version were previously edited by Nakamura M. 2002a: 171–187. The present edition additionally incorporates KUB 20.70, a text which Nakamura M. 2002a: 277–279 classified only as a candidate for DAY 5. Since, however, mss. A–C belong to the first tablet and the colophon of KUB 20.70 reads “Second tablet”, it is assumed here that all mss. form a single series.
|
Tablet characteristics |
|
As far as can be determined, all mss. were originally three-column tablets.
|
Palaeography and handwriting |
|
Apart from ms. A, written in the New Script, the manuscripts of Version 1 show the Late New Script. They do not, however, appear to share the same handwriting.
