Short description

Version 2 (CTH 626-DAY13.2) represents the end of the festival, i.e. the last events of the main day and the initial events of the next day, when the king departs from Zippalanda and goes to Katapa. This is likely the last tablet of the composition, although its colophon is not preserved.
