Outline.2 is one of the best preserved outlines of the nuntarriyašḫa- festival, containing descriptions of more than fifteen days of the observance. It also represents what must have been one of the longest versions of the festival.

In Nakamura’s edition (Nakamura M. 2002a: 6 and 15–33), this text is designated as Ü 1.B (thus a duplicate of KUB 9.16+) and listed as comprising the fragments KBo 39.63 + IBoT 4.81 + KBo 3.25 + KUB 10.48. Shortly thereafter, KBo 56.75 (847/u), listed in Nakamura’s edition as Ü 1.D, was identified as a join to KBo 39.63+ (HPMM 3: 110). In the present edition, two further modifications have been introduced. First, Bo 9159 is treated as a direct join to KBo 56.75, adding to the preserved portion of col. i. Second, a recent palaeographic analysis (Kryszeń A. 2025a) has demonstrated that IBoT 4.81 shows handwriting distinct from the remaining fragments and must belong to a different tablet (see Outline.17 in the present edition).

More than half of col. i, and approximately half of col. ii are preserved. On the reverse, only the initial signs of a few lines of col. iv remain legible. Originally, Outline.2 must have been a two-column tablet with approx. 50 lines of text in each column.

Outline.2 is written in the New Script. The tablet displays a distinctive handwriting, with, e.g., the horizontals regularly crossing the verticals in signs like MA or KU; Ú with the lower horizontal frequently written beneath the verticals; and NA written with one Winkelhaken placed above and one below the horizontal.

Outline.2 is – together with Outline.12 – one of the only outline tablets of the nuntarriyašḫa- festival discovered in the House on the Slope.

In the preserved portions of Outline.2, the day numbering corresponds to that of the ‘united’ version. Since the description of the 12th day is written at the top of col. ii, it follows that col. i included the short introduction and the account of the first eleven days of the festival, all written within roughly fifty lines.

The last preserved paragraphs in the lower half of col. iv must refer to the last days of the festival, as one must also allow space for the colophon at the end of the tablet.
