Text transmission

Intertextuality

The ductus of this fragment is identical to that of CTH 766.4.b and these two pieces probably belong to the same manuscript.

General information

The mention of the “human being” (LÚ.U₁₉.LU) helps to define this fragment as a conjuration, while the implied mention of the attack on the child and the reference to his father and homestead tip the scales in favor of its attribution to CTH 766.
