CTH 283.10

Oracle micro-tablet with drilled hole

introductio



Short description

The content of this tiny tablet is very unclear. Waal W. 2015a, 55 considered it an oracle report, presumably based on the formulation ki kuit, in the first line. This is probably correct if one compares the tablet with other available parallels, e.g. DAAM 1.31. This parallel is particularly relevant also because both texts are drilled with a passing hole.

For another drilled tablet, see the Middle Hittite oracular query KUB 32.130, peculiar also for its landscape format.
