Short description

Version 7 comprises a single text, KBo 22.181, which describes the king’s journey from Arinna to Ḫattuša, with stops near Arinna (or Matilla) as well as in Kulilla. The attribution of this manuscript to DAY 6 is based on its correspondence with the relevant passage in Outline.5, but it must remain tentative, since a similar journey during the nuntarriyašḫa- festival is also attested for DAY 24.
