Short description |
|
Version 5 is one of the two versions that describe the events following the great assembly in the ḫalentu- complex. The three manuscripts included here run parallel to the passages depicting the god-drinking in other versions, but do not end with the royal couple leaving the ḫalentu- complex and proceeding to the temple of the Storm-god. Unfortunately, the subsequent events are poorly preserved.

History of publication |
|
Ms. A (KUB 25.17) was included in the edition of Nakamura M. 2002a: 212. The two remaining manuscripts have not been edited previously.
|
Tablet characteristics |
|
Ms. A seems originally to have been a three-column tablet. Ms. B preserves only the middle portion of a column, making it impossible to determine its full width, though a three-column format is not unlikely.
|
Palaeography and handwriting |
|
Mss. A and B are written in the New Script. For ms. C, a palaeographic assessment is not possible.
