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 small fragment treats the usual seasonal festivals of autumn and spring. Noteworthy are the mention of the “cella of the pithos” (i 2′), of a double slaughtering – at the altar and at the pithos (i 5′-6′) – and of “wheat, in the storeroom” (É NA₄KIŠIB, i 10′).
