History of publication

This text was published in transliteration in Starke F. 1985a: 257 as a pregnancy spell. An indirect join with KBo 29.28, proposed in the same publication, must be rejected on the grounds of paleographic differences.

Palaeography and handwriting

Middle Script

Text transmission

The fragment is found in building H of Büyükkale.

Intertextuality

The narrative of section 2 mentioning the Supreme god is the same as its counterpart in CTH 765.3.1 (section 1), but here it does not feature the start of the composition. The mention of Šulinkatte in section 1 arguably indicates that the tale of the Supreme god is imbedded here in a larger plot. Therefore, if CTH 765.3.1 and CTH 765.3.2 reflect the same text, one can place CTH 765.3.2 after CTH 765.3.1 within its structure.
