History of publication

Handcopy: D. Schwemer (KBo 71, Schwemer D. 2018a).

Edition: Sakuma Y. 2009b, II 620-621.

Palaeography and handwriting

NS (jh.), according to HPM. However, the forms of ŠA and TA alone are insufficient for a secure palaeographic dating, and other diagnostic signs are absent.

Linguistic characteristics

Note that the extended spelling of the technical term kuštayati (line 11´) is infrequent, and typically found in earlier bird oracles (Middle Script).
