(CTH 530.114)

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

Whether this fragment is a cult inventory is uncertain. It shows the older variants of the signs LI and AZ.

Palaeography and orthography: Clear, regular script. Older LI (l. 4′) and AZ (l. 6′). Note the spellings ḫé-eš15-kán-[zi] (l. 3′) and DUGḫar-ši-al-li (line 4′).

2′: Note the unusual occurrence of the imperfective form of ḫāš-/ḫēš- “to open.”

5′: Perhaps a reference to the capacity of the pithos?
