Short description |
|
Version 5 is represented by several manuscripts and pertains primarily to DAY 24, describing events in Arinna and during the return to Ḫattuša. The initial preserved passage of Ms. A (KBo 7.42+), however, clearly indicates that the tablet also included a description of the preceding day (DAY 23). Ms. B and C are small fragments that duplicate and slightly supplement a passage preserved in Ms. A.
