Cult inventory

(CTH 528.21)

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

Collated (March 2020). Fragment of a likely single-columned tablet (see presently), max preserved thickness ca. 25 mm. The fact that both the colophon and the right edge are (partly) preserved suggests that this is a single-columned tablet. Script size 3-4 mm.

obv. 1: The possibility of a relation between the divine river Larša and the town Laršiliya treated in KBo 2.7 // KBo 2.13, as proposed by Forlanini (2009: 46), is very uncertain.

obv. 5, 10: For the infinitive ašnumanzi used in deontic sense see Cammarosano 2018: 154.

obv. 7: A rare case of the use of the verb ḫandāe- within the corpus of cult inventories.

obv. 8: Certainly ZÍZ, not KIN (contra Torri and Barsacchi 2018: 262)
