Cult inventory

(CTH 528.104)

Textual tradition

Basis of the edition

The present edition is based on the photographs available at the Mainzer Photoarchiv of the Hethitologie Portal Mainz, as well as the available hand-copies and relevant secondary literature up to 2019. When the original manuscripts have been collated, this is noted in the commentary.

Commentary

This fragment preserves a list of offerings for local spring festivals in various towns (the only preserved GN is URUa-r[u?- … ] in rev. iv 1′). Noteworthy are the rare reference to the expression waruli eku- “to drink ‘in the vapour’” (ii 9′) and the unusual three-columned layout.

Palaeography and orthography: Late QA (iii 5′). Note the spelling MUNUS.MEŠḫa-az-ḫa-ra-a-i (ii 7′, iv 6′).
