CTH 626.Tg35

Festival of Haste (nuntarriyašḫa-). Day 35

introductio



Kurzbeschreibung

The only outline tablet describing DAY 35 is Outline.7, which lists two events: a great assembly in the House of the Cooks, and the celebrations of the Queen of the Storehouse performed by the king and the walḫi- makers. Responsibility for providing offerings for the latter celebration lies with representatives of the Palace of the Major-domo of the Left Side.

So far, no detailed descriptions of DAY 35 have been identified.

History of publication

As noted in the Introduction to DAY 34, Nakamura M. 2002a: 134–135 combines the events listed here for DAY 35 with those attributed to DAY 34, treating them together as a single day (day 30 according to his numbering).

Intertextuality

The celebrations of the Queen of the Storehouse by the walḫi- makers are attested in the oracle KBo 31.167+ F3 iv 17′–22′, as well as in likely duplicate or parallel passages in KUB 34.48+ F7 iii 9–14 and KBo 43.186 5′–7′ (all CTH 568).

It remains unclear whether KUB 25.27 iii 17–20 (CTH 629) corresponds to DAY 35 or any other day of the nuntarriyašḫa- festival.
