History of publication |
|
In Nakamura’s edition (Nakamura M. 2002a: 6 and 15–33), IBoT 4.72 is designated as Ü 1.C (thus a duplicate of KUB 9.16+). Shortly thereafter, DBH 46/2.31 (still as Bo 4697) was recognized as an outline tablet of the nuntarriyašḫa- festival (HPMM 1: 144 as Ü.1.E), and an indirect join between the two fragments was cautiously proposed by Corti (Corti C. 2007a: 166 with n. 16).

Tablet characteristics |

Only the left middle portion of column i is preserved.

Palaeography and handwriting |
|
Outline.3 is written in the New Script. Although the evidence is limited, the forms of NA, ZI, É and NU suggest that Outline.3 may have been written by the same scribe who wrote Outline.17 (see Kryszeń A. 2025a: 136f.). For further details, see “Palaeography and handwriting” under Outline.17.
