[1] The enclitic –ma suggests a following circumstance within the symptom description which must have been corrupted to some degree since the following element (ši-pir₃^!(SUḪUŠ)) has been interpreted as materia medica (IGI SUḪUR^ku6). Cf. the similar spelling with another interpretation in A col. iii l. 7 (ana LU₂ ši-pir₃ mi-šit-ti u ri-mu-te [šupšuḫi …).

[2] Cf. the parallels in BAM 138 (mA) ii 1-8 and BAM 398 (mB Nippur) obv 8-11 (var.).

[3] The parallel or similar prescription in BAM 398 obv 9’ has KAŠ la-bi-ru-⌈ti^?⌉.

[4] Cf. the parallel BAM 138 ii 9-15.

[5] BabMed Corpus AMT 82/2 iii 10 restores according to the parallel BAM 138 ⌈tu⌉-[šab-šal …]. Either reading is possible due to the damaged state of the traces.

[6] Cf. the partly parallel BAM 398 obv 12-15 (var.).

[7] Cf. for this curious spelling the attestations within the following two entries.

[8] Cf. similar BAM 398 obv 22-24 (var.).

[9] Cf. the parallel BAM 398 obv 27-29 (var.).

[10] The copy of Köcher suggest no further room before dababtašu in the second line of the entry but the actual tablet preserves no vertical rulings as well as only half of the sign DA. The phrase dababtašu turri hint on a prepositional phrase, introducing the therapy (like ana bulluṭišu etc.).

[11] Consider maybe paqādu D „to care for“ or similar. Köcher copied in BAM 523 MEŠ but the actual tablet is less clear and might likewise have ME(qad₄).

[12] Köcher copied a clear AŠ but the actual tablet seems to show traces of a small Winkelhaken underneath the strong horizontal wedge, which might change the interpretation of ŠID not as SILA₁₁ “to knead” (talâš) but as ŠID “to recite” (tamannū).

[13] It is uncertain whether this formulation refers to a special designation often used with certain medical plants (cf. CAD E, 299 A sub 3), and here with oil, or if it describes another feature (cf. ibid. erištu B “seeding; plantation” or even erištu B as by-form of ḫarištu “menstruating women”).

[14] This expression should refer to the first day of a random month.

[15] The traces do not look like NU or NI which makes the restoration of bīnu uncertain but not unlikely. Together with the previous BI it might likewise represent a longer sign beginning with a BI-element (like ŠIM or similar).

[16] Cf. the similar description in AMT 23/2:11’-13’ which should belong to A iii l. 39’ff.

[17] Maybe restore ZI-ḫi or similar.

[18] Cf. the varying parallel AMT 23/2:14’-17’.

[19] The parallel AMT 23/2 suggests the restoration tu-pa-⌈ṭa⌉-[ar^?] “you cut off (lit. loosen, peel etc.) (the sides of the face of certain carps’ varieties)”.

[20] Cf. the varying parallel AMT 23/2:11’-13’. Another (due to its fragmentary state) not recognizable parallel might be BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 1‘.

[21] See BabMed Corpus AMT 28/7:7‘.

[22] The parallel BAM 23/2 has tu-ta-rap “you cover/coat with …” instead.

[23] Here as well as later on the parallel AMT 23/2 uses the second person (tuš-ta-kar-rak la pa-tan KA-šu₂ tak-ta-na-[par (x x)]) whereas this text shows a third person verbal form in the following passage suggesting the patient to be the subject (against the second person at the beginning of the line which is most likely referring to the physician).

[25] Cf. the parallel BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 5‘-6‘.

[27] Cf. the parallels ND 4405/23 (CTN 4, 124) i 1’-2’; BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76)  9’-10’(?); BAM 134 obv 3‘-5‘; AMT 23/2:6’-7’.

[28] Cf. the parallels ND 4405/23 (CTN 4, 124) i 3’, BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 11‘; AMT 23/2:8‘.

[29] The parallels BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 11 and AMT 23/2:8‘ have ruling lines whereas the rest as our text show none.

[30] Cf. the parallels ND 4405/23 (CTN 4, 124) i 4’, BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 12‘; AMT 23/2:9‘.

[31] Cf. the parallels ND 4405/23 (CTN 4, 124) i 5’-6’, BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 13‘; AMT 23/2:10‘ which suggest that the whole sequence A iii 48’-51’ has been transmitted traditionally as a neat cluster under the respective label “3 tested potions from a original from Eridu”.

[32] Cf. the parallels BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 14‘-15‘ as well as possibly BAM 190 rev 39-42 (^u2HAR.HAR ^u2KUR.KUR ^u2IGI-lim ^u2⸢GEŠTIN⸣.[KA₅.A] / U₂.KUR.RA ^u2NU.LUH.⸢HA⸣ ^u2tu-lal ⸢^u2⸣[x x (x)] / ^gišLI ^šimŠE.LI BABBAR ^gišbi-i-[nu] / [10]+1 U₂ KA.DAB.BE₂.DA ina KAŠ [NAG]).

[35] BabMed Corpus AMT 78/1:27‘ restores tentatively ^šim⌈LI⌉.

[36] Most likely to be restored as GAG.GAG(-pi₂) or similar.

[37] Cf. the parallel BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 18‘.

[38] The parallel BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 18‘ continues after gabî with ^u2ḪAR.[ḪAR/SAG^?] which is considered as a variant to eper sūq erbetti in BabMed Corpus AMT 78/1:30’ due to the fragmentary traces underneath SAḪAR (not copied by Campbell Thompson in AMT).

[39] Cf. the parallel BM 36520 + BM 37589 (Abusch – Schwemer, AMD 8/2, Taf. 76) 19‘-20’. The same format has been used at the beginning of NECK 3 (e.g. šumma(BAD) ḪUL.GIG) which shows due to the use of BAD that the first DIŠ is not to be read as ana but šumma (even if it makes syntactically few sense). See especially NECK 3:4-6 which treats Kadabbedû as well.

[40] Campbell Thompson (AMT 84/3) copied A RA DAR whereas the tablet shows clearly A SI. DAR or GUN₃ is certainly possible, but the following copied ⌈KUM⌉ is far from certain. The possible parallels and similar continuing entries within the beginning section of NECK 3 suggest divinatory content within the last passages of these entries. The possible parallel reads additionally LU₂ BI […] after KA.DAB.BE₂.DA NU TE-šu₂.

[41] Cf. the varying parallels NECK 3:5 as well as BAM 209 obv 13-15.

[42] Since no ruling is following the expected prognostic as well as divinatory apodosis (see also above) might have been noted at the beginning of the forth column. See the var. parallel NECK 3:5 continuing the entry ⌈ka⌉-a-a-man ŠEŠ₂.[MEŠ-su-ma KA.DAB.BE₂.DA NU TE-šu₂ u NA BI …].

[8] Cf. the possible parallel or at least very similar prescription in BAM 398 obv 1-7 as well as AMT 52/5:16-17.

[9] Cf. the very similar use of materia medica at the end of col. ii and the beginning of col. iii as well as BAM 398 obv 1-7 ([ana …] rimûti šupšuḫi) whose following passage is paralleled in NECK 5 iii as well.

[12] The copy AMT 82/2 notes the signs as undamaged but the actual tablet shows some damages within the position of the entry’s first three lines.

[13] Usually only the date-palm variety ^gišGIŠIMMAR.KUR.RA (gurummaru) is written with the sumerian phonetic complement RA whereas the suggested ^gišGIŠIMMAR.TUR (suḫuššu or tālu) has a variant writing ^gišGIŠIMMAR.TUR.TUR. A scribal error can therefore not be excluded.

[14] The interpretation is uncertain. The word kim-si might be derived from kamāsu “to lean, bow” and ša₂-ḫa-su (šaḫāt-šu) “armpit(?)” refers to a similar area like uppi aḫi “upper arm” or “upper arm/shoulder joint”. The following alleged verbal form has been interpreted here as 2. sg. m. from padû “to spare, release” (tapaddī^?), a word otherwise not attested in medical contexts. Other interpretations like the reading of ḫad/t/ṭ instead of pa are likewise possible but all possible verbs seem to be highly improbable within the present context.

[1] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:1.

[2] The parallel in Sakikkû notes additionally mi-šit-ti GIG.

[3] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:4 (= l. 5-7). Curiously, the entries on mukil rēš lemutti (Sakikkû 27:2-3 = ll. 2-4) have been left out.

[4] The Sakikkû parallel notes DAB GIDIM₇ ana EDIN <UD> 3.KAM₂ NI.ŠI which seem to be too much signs for the broken area in NECK 5:2. Since the Sakikkû parallel shows some uncertainty as well (viz. the missing UD), it is much likely that the text underwent some corruption. BabMed Corpus AMT 77/1 i 4 restores DAB GIDIM₇^! ⌈ana^? EDIN^? UD^?⌉ [3.KAM₂] ni-ši. The signs ni ši has been interpreted here as a pseudo-logographic spelling (or stative, which otherwise would be nī/ēš?) against the usual syllabic spelling ina-eš in therapeutic texts.

[5] Cf. the parallel Sakikkû 27:5 (= l. 8).

[12] Cf. the parallels BAM 132:7‘-10‘ and BAM 133:3‘-6‘.

[13] BAM 133:6‘ has differently [(x)] ⌈ŠEŠ₂^?⌉-ma su la […].

[14] Cf. the parallels BAM 132:11‘-13‘ and BAM 133:7‘-8‘.

[15] Against the interpretation of ^u2ŠE.LI speaks the usual spelling ^šimŠE.LI for kikkirânu.

[16] Following the restoration of BabMed Corpus <A>.GUB₂.BA for agubbû “holy water (vessel)”.

[17] Or šim-ma₃-[ti^? …]?

[18] K. Simko, following the copy of Campbell Thompson, suggests the restoration ⌈^u2SIKIL⌉. However, the actual tablet does not preserve the traces as sown within the AMT-copy.

[19] Cf. the parallel AMT 98/3:1’-7‘.

[20] The parallel AMT 98/3:4’ has additionally ⌈DIDA⌉ ⌈^gišEREN⌉ ⌈^u2a-za^?⌉-[la^? (x x)].

[21] The parallel AMT 98/3:4’ has var. tu-ba-ḫar ⌈us⌉ x [(x)] / šum₄-ma (…) and seems to be therefore more detailed.

[22] The parallel AMT 98/3:5’ has AMA.MEŠ instead.

[23] The parallel AMT 98/3:5’ has IGI rit-ti-šu₂.

[24] The meaning of the suspected verb parû is uncertain. It may belong to parû III whose G-stem meaning is unclear or to parāʾu I (a/u) “to cut off; slice through” or II (u/u) “to sprout(?)” with possible unknown secondary meaning.

[25] Or maybe ana LU₂ MAŠKIM₂ NU TE?

[26] Suggestion K. Simko following Sakikkû tablet 5:55’ (NUN]DUM-su šá 15 na-šal-lu^!–lu), referring to the soft or sagging quality of a here not preserved body part.

[27] Or erroneously for ZI₃.KUM or ZI₃ ^šim<x>?

[28] Or does this refer to a particular part or phenomena of the ear?

[29] Suggestion K. Simko.

[30] Maybe ba-aḫ-⌈ru⌉-[su]?

 

A = K. 3198 (BAM 475)

 

– The introductory incantation has been part of the ritual-therapeutic series Muššuʾu (see Böck, Muššuʾu (2007), 167 IVh) as well as the incantation-collection SAG.GIG.GA tbl. 7 (see Böck Muššuʾu (2007), 24 and 31ff.)[1]

– the incantations mentioned at the beginning, which are in other texts mostly used against witchcraft as well as paralysis and ghosts, hint on the possible ascription of certain fragments which are concerned with šimmatu as belonging to this particular section of the NMS (79-7-8, 201 (AMT 92,6), 70-7-8, 86 (AMT 52, 5, dupl. K. 16421), K. 2497 + K. 9692 + K. 20179 + K. 13463 (AMT 37/5 + AMT 92/4 + AMT 92/9), K. 3305+ (Böck, Muššuʾu, plate XVIII-XIV), K. 7098+ (Böck, Muššuʾu, plate XVIII-XIV) as well as K. 8449 (AMT 93/3) (with certain similarities to K. 2752 which might possibly be a fragment of NECK 3))

– although some of the fragments concerned with šimmatu might likewise belong to the HAMSTRING-section of the NMS; especially K. 2426 is uncertain since it mentions several times, next to a šimmatu-incantation, treatments against vomiting and hint therefore on a possible context of STOMACH or ABDOMEN

[2] See Böck, Muššuʾu (2007), 167 (see for instance BAM 338). Cf. for this incantation likewise BAM 159 iii 32, BM 42272 obv 22 and SpTU 1, 60 rev 15‘ (against zikurrudû). For the reconstruction of the second incantation cf. the wording of the incantation given in Böck, Muššuʾu (2007), 167f. The second incantation is likewise attested in BAM 471:42’ (NECK 1 or 2).

– The fragments K. 2752 (+) K. 6504 (AMT 34/6)[2] might most likely belong to ms. A col. iii-vi upside (cf. the possible textual overlaps with ms. B 9’-10’);[3] conceptually, the fragment K. 5415a (usually ascribed to EYES due to its treatments of the eye region) might likewise belong to the upper part of the third column of NECK 3 which is less certain, though. However, these fragments might likewise belong to NECK 4 which might have been concerned with paralysis and similar complaints whose prescriptive layout and rubrics show a certain similarity to the ones given in K. 2752 i’.

– the fragment K. 2557 might passages of the lower part of col. i and mentions the sighting of birṣu-flashes (together with the diagnosis of GIDIM ḫar-ba-ti) which are mentioned again in the new fragment B that might represent portions of the first third of col. ii. Due to the layout, it might belong to ms. A

– cf. likewise the similar formulations in K. 8604 which might belong to NECK 3 col. ii bottom and iii top or a tablet concerned with similar topics like NECK 3

[1] Identification E. Schmidtchen. B and C do most certainly not belong to witness A but ut is unclear if mss. B and C belong to the same witness as well or if they suggest a third ms.

[2] Join E. Schmidtchen.

[3] Cf. the similar formulae within the mss. AMT 88/1 + BE 31, 57 (K. 3305 + K. 7994 + K. 9658) as well as K. 7098 + K. 9004 (esp. ana UGU A₂–šu₂ and the rubrics AMT 88/1+ //K. 7098+ KA.INIM.MA šum-ma LU₂ A₂ ZAG/GUB₃–šu₂ i-šam-ma-am-šu₂ and in K. 2752 [KA.INIM.MA (šum-ma LU₂)] A₂ ZAG-šu₂ GU₇–šu₂).

[4] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 obv 1-3.

[5] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 obv 4-6.

[6] Or does this phrase belong to the second part of the entry’s ending which in later entries usually compares to divinatory apodoses?

[7] For the spelling kajjamān instead of the likewise possible kajjāniš cf. the similar construction BAM 461 iii 25’-32’ with several attestations of the less ambiguous ka-a-a-ma-na.

[8] Cf. the parallels BAM 209 obv 10-12 and most likely NECK 5:72’.

[9] The traces look like a small LAL₂ which would suggest assuming a variant or gloss.

[10] Cf. the parallels BAM 209 obv 13-15 and most likely NECK 5:73’.

[11] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 obv 16-18.

[12] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 obv 19-21. The fragmentary entry BAM 463 (BM 98613) obv 1’ might likewise be a parallel.

[13] Contra BabMed Corpus BAM 209 obv 21 (u₃ ina I₃.DU₈ ina ar₂-[ki]).

[14] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 obv 22-24. It is uncertain, if BAM 463 obv 2’-3’ is a var. parallel having I₃ ^šimGUR₂.GUR₂ instead of I₃ BARA₂.GA as attested in BAM 209. The second difference is the bird for which BAM 209 notes iṣṣūr ḫurri(BURU₅.ḪABRUD.DA^mušen) whereas BAM 463 has u₂ še x […] which might be read in Babylonian palaeography ⌈UGA(U₂-NAGA-GA)⌉[^mušen …], misinterpreting BURU₅ at the beginning which is also used as logogram of āribu/ēribu “crow; raven”.

[15] Cf. the parallels BAM 209 obv 25-27 and BAM 463 obv 4’-5’.

[16] Cf. the parallels BAM 209 obv 28-30 and BAM 463 rev 1-2 as well as var. BAM 461 iii 25’-28’ (ZI.KU₅.RU.DA ana LU₂ NU TE-e SAG.DU KUR.⸢GI^mušen⸣ / u₃ ^u2IGI-lim tu-bal TEŠ₂.BI ta-pa-a-aṣ / ina I₃.SAG ḪI.ḪI ka-a-a-ma-na ŠEŠ₂.ŠEŠ₂–su-ma / ZI.KU₅.RU.DA NU TE u NA.BI NAM.AB.BA i-še-eb-bi).

[17] The traces in BAM 209 suggest BI or a similar sign which would hint on an apodosis-like ending of the entry ([…] i-šeb-⌈bi⌉). See for the restoration of NAM.AB.BA (šībūtu “old age”) BAM 461 iii 28’. Cf. the similarities within the ending of the next entry (UD.⌈ME/MEŠ⌉ ur-rak) which is likewise a common apodosis in divinatory contexts.

[18] Cf. the parallels BAM 209 obv 31-33 and BAM 463 rev 3-4 as well as the var. parallel BAM 461 iii 29’-32’ (DIŠ KI.MIN SAG u₂-ru-bal-li^mušen u₂-bur-ta^mušen / tu-bal TEŠ₂.BI ta-pa-a-aṣ / ina I₃+GIŠ ^gišŠUR.MIN₃ ḪI.ḪI ka-a-a-ma-an ŠEŠ.ŠEŠ-su-ma / ZI.KU₅.RU.DA NU TE-šu u NA.BI U₄–me u₂ he-pi₂).

[19] Cf. the parallels BAM 209 obv 34-36 and BAM 463 rev 5-6.

[20] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 obv 37.

[21] It is uncertain whether the other potential aetiological disease causer have been added after the break or have been subsumed under the slightly euphemistic header “Hand-of-Ghost”.

[22] If indeed šerʾānu is meant the orthography is odd.

[23] Maybe with following ^dID₂ for ruʾtītu?

[24] Maybe ⌈u₄-me⌉-šu₂ or ⌈GEŠTU⌉-šu₂.

[25] It is tempting to restore ⌈tu^?⌉-[qat-tar^? …] but the traces look more like the beginning of I, TUR or GAN.

[26] Maybe ZIZ₂.AN.NA?

[27] Cf. the parallels in CRANIUM 3:8 (and dupl.) (noting MAŠ₂ instead of MAŠ₂.ZU), BAM 155 iii 13’-15’ and BAM 227:1’-3’.

[28] The parallel has no further sign following but the position at the end of the line with considerable space left suggest at least something like ša₂ or ŠEŠ in this text.

[29] Following Scurlock (2006), 432 see for this type of incantation Biggs, ŠÀ.ZI.GA, 24; Falkenstein, Haupttypen 4ff.

[30] Although the interpretation as MU₂ “inflamed” is not entirely  impossible.

[31] For the interpretation of LA for LA₂ see Scurlock (2006), 432 note to iii  8’.

[32] LU₂ might be a mistake resulting from the misinterpretation of the spelling LU of DAB used in ms. A. Cf. Scurlock (2006), 432 note to iii 19’.

[33] Instead of ms. A (SIG₂ SA₅ “red hair”) the ms. B has DUR (riksu, or maybe restore DUR SIG₂ SA₅ SIG₂ BABBAR “a cord of red and white hair”?).

[34] Not copied in BAM 473. Maybe erroneous for DU₃.DU₃ (šapû) – a text corruption which is unnecessary because of the following verb tašakkak.

[35] Cf. Scurlock (2006), no. 169 [SUD (…)] / [ina] ⌈A₂⌉-⌈šu₂⌉ a-šar KU₂–šu₂ KEŠDA-šu2 [EN2] / a-na] ⌈UGU⌉ A₂–šu₂ ŠID-nu-[ma TI-uṭ] but UKKIN(KA×BAR) is clear instead of GU₇/KU₂(KA×NIG₂).

[36] Or 7 TA.AM₃ as in AMT 88/1 (against šimmatu) which shows similar syllabic spellings of the materia medica?

[37] Cf. muššuʾu VIII/d, see Böck, Muššuʾu (2007), 264 for parallels. Mostly concerning the ailment šimmatu (paralysis).

[38] Maybe again EN₂ i-ba-aḫ?

[39] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 rev 6‘-7‘.

[40] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 rev 8’-9’.

[41] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 rev 10’-11’.

[42] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 rev 12’-13’.

[43] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 rev 14’-15’.

[44] Cf. the parallel BAM 209 rev 16’ and maybe 17’ (ina ṭup-pi an-ni-ti […]) as well.

[45] See for parallels of this incantation Böck, Muššuʾu (2007), 167

– It is unclear whether it is part of NECK 1, 2 or 6 (less likely)

– the ascription of obverse and reverse follows Köcher’s copy in BAM 5 which might likewise be reversed (e.g. the actual fragment is too short to evaluate the reverse which should show a stronger curved surface in comparison to the obverse)

– check similar formulations similar to col. ii in K 12173 and K 9174 (EN₂ UDUG^? GU₂.SA.A, lower part of col. iii)

[1] Identification: E. Schmidtchen. K. 10264 represents most likely the upper part of col. iii ms. A (cf. the edge of the break as well as the ingredient [^u2]⌈si-ḫa⌉ visible on both; furthermore, the coll.-tablet BAM 469 bears passages from both fragments subsequently after another. Due to its spacial distribution, the fragment AMT 33/3a (K 6828) might represent the right edge of this passage, and subsequently, the parallel AMT 33/3b (Rm 116) could therefore represent the upper right-hand corner of a second ms. of this tablet.

[2] Identification: E. Schmidtchen.

[3] The approximation follows the usual number of around 65-70 lines per column for this kind of serial tablets attested in Ashurbanipal’s archive.

[4] Cf. the parallel BAM 52:8-9 and the nearly parallel AMT 78, 4 (K. 8685) rev 1-3 (which is announced as a recipe against mišittu).

[5] The recipe’s beginning is much similar to BAM 225 rev 3‘-11‘ (^šimGUR₂.GUR₂ ^šimLI ILLU LI.DUR NAGA.SI ^šimBULUḪ ILLU ^šimBULUḪ ^šimMUG ^u2nu-ḫur-ta₅ …), noting the same symptom description as NECK 2:1 but a different recipe. Cf. also the parallel AMT 78, 4 (K 8685) rev 4ff (which is announced as a recipe against mišittu) as well as the fragmentary parallel BAM 52:1-4.

[6] Or an error for ina SILA₃ KAŠ.SAG ŠEG₆–šal? The copy of the parallel BAM 225 rev 3‘-11‘ notes rather AN then ina BAR as in BAM 471. See likewise BAM 52:3.

[7] The partly parallel BAM 225 rev 9‘ has maybe erroneously [x] x a-di a-na 3 SILA₃ ⌈GUR⌉ […].

[8] The word is usually attested with stones and minerals, formed or worked into the shape of a crescent.

[9] See for restoration the partly parallel BAM 225 rev 10‘-11‘.

[10] Cf. the parallels BAM 52:5-7 (maybe the same symptom description as BAM 225 rev 3‘-11‘ and NECK 2:1),  slightly differently BAM 7, 32 rev 7‘-8‘ and BAM 7, 46 obv 13‘ (both ana MURUB₄.MEŠ ašṭāte lubbuki).

[11] Differently interpreted in BabMed Corpus BAM 471 as [… ^šim]LI (…), which otherwise would not explain the following LU₂.

[12] The traces might belong to ID₂ and suggest therefore the possible restoration of PIŠ₁₀–^dID₂(kibrītu).

[13] Cf. the partly differing parallels in BAM 52:66-67, BAM 88:17’-20, BAM 168:1-3 as well as the same symptom description in AMT 52/4:2’-7’ (which notes the recipe of entry 9’).

[14] Maybe a variant or an error for the usual spelling MAR.GAL (urbatu or išqippu both a kind of worm) within the parallels.

[15] The partly parallels BAM 88 and BAM 168 add further (…) KAŠ.SAG ŠEG₆–šal ta-ša₂-ḫal SED I₃.GIŠ ana IGI ŠUB ana ⌈DUR₂⌉-šu₂ DUB-ak-ma TI(-uṭ).

[16] The entries are usually separated by a ruling within this document.

[17] Cf. the possible parallel BAM 385 i 1’-2’ and the recipe in AMT 52/4:4’-7’ (but adding ^u2IGI-lim at the beginning of the materia medica list).

[18] Or syll. ^u2al-la-an-na although this spelling would be curious but not impossible if considering the loss of the vowel length in favour or a gemination of the last consonant (allannu instead of allānu), which is quite common in nA time.

[19] Cf. the parallels BAM 99:1-14 (partly differing, diagn. qerbēnu GIG, blood from the anus, napšalti NAM.ERIM₂.BUR₂.RU.DA and ŠU.GIDIM.MA and to loosen burning fever) and BAM 385 i 3’-11’ (ŠU.GIDIM.MA) as well as AMT 52/4:8f (ŠU.GIDIM.MA).

[20] Cf. the partly parallel BAM 385 i 12‘-14‘ as well as the similar ingredients in BAM 216:8’-11’/BAM 482 iii 37’-39’/AMT 97/4:25’-29’ (all referring to the symptom of pain in the temples while being seized by the hand of a ghost). A similar recipe is noted in AMT 97/4:9’ff. (again against the hand of a ghost).

[21] MIN stands most likely again for AN.ZAḪ.

[22] Cf. the parallels BAM 385 i 15’-22’ and Sakikkû 27:32-34 (after the diagnosis, most likely belonging to the beginning of the following entry) and ibid. 35-36 which resembles the symptom description in our entry.

[23] The traces here as well as in BAM 385 do not resemble GIG but might belong to KUM₂ or DA which in turn might be connected with UD.DA, attested within the corrupt diagnostic section Sakikkû 27:32-34 (ŠU GIDIM₇ UD.DA LU₂ GEN₇ ^gišNIG₂.GIDRI ša₂ ^dXXX GIR₃.MIN-šu2 ⌈ŠU⌉ GIDIM₇). Conspicuously, all entries of the diagnostic series concerned with the envoy of Sîn (ḫaṭṭu ša Sîn and ḫaṭṭi mār šipri ša Sîn, maybe bennu and/or Lamaštu?, see Sakikkû 4:56, 15:23’, 19/20:112’a-113’a, 40:43 and 44) refer to fever as well as certain pain in the head and problems with the locomotor system.

[24] The identification of the possible anatomical feature kimzūru (here fem. pl.?) is unclear.

[25] Cf. the parallels BAM 323:65-68 and BAM 385 i 23‘-26‘ as well as for the symptom description Sakikkû 18:3-4. See also W. von Soden, ZA 43, 274.

[26] The parallels have differently ANŠE (BAM 323) and UZ₂ (BAM 385).

[27] The partially logographic and partially syllabic spelling is odd and left out in BAM 323 as well as Sakikkû 18:3-4. Another possible interpretation might be it-ta ŠUB-di “it (i.e. the voice or scream) shows a (significant) sign”.

[28] Cf. BAM 323:67 with the syll. spelling iṣ-bat-su.

[29] Cf. the partly parallel for this stone amulet again in BAM 323:69. Restoration suggested by A. Bácskay.

[30] Scurlock (2006), no. 323 reads the likewise possible syll. spelling ia₄(NA₄)-artu(PA).

[31] See BAM 232:69.

[32] Abbreviated from ina KUŠ tašappī (suggestion A. Bácskay).

[33] The restoration follows Scurlock (2006) no. 223.

[34] Cf. the parallel BAM 232:70-74, BM 40770 and BM 47758.

[35] It is uncertain if these lines might not actually belong to the incantation in A ii l. 32’ff. (cf. the suspicious signs ⌈dim₉⌉-me (x)). If not, the fragment might at least be positioned shortly after A ii l. 34’.

[36] Cf. for restoration the possible parallel AMT 93/1:5. Suspiciously, the parallel notes SUḪUŠ ^u2ḪA/KU₆(urânu) ^na4mu-ṣa AN.BAR ^na4ZALAG₂ ni-kip-ta₅ ina KUŠ. It is uncertain whether this recipe represents the same as in B l. 1 or if this is a variation of a common pattern. In short, the restoration of ^na4mu-ṣa and AN.BAR within the break is uncertain.

[37] The whole passage looks like ⌈GIŠ₃.NU.ZU⌉ except that the text actually has SU instead of ZU. The reading ina KUŠ is therefore tentative and the previous passage uncertain.

[38] Restoration uncertain. Cf. the possible parallel BAM 469 obv 37’ which continues the line with the recipe: I₃.UDU iš-qip-pi NITA₂ u MUNUS SIG₂ UGU.DUL.BI [x x x x].

[39] Maybe UGU or GIG? Cf. the possible parallel AMT 96/4:9 (⌈DIŠ⌉ NA GIDIM UGU NA AL.ŠUB) but followed by the recipe of the next entry.

[40] Cf. for the possible ascription of this recipe to the previous symptom description in the parallel AMT 96/4:9’-11’ listing the same recipe with the suggested symptom description of D l. 1’.

[41] Cf. the parallels BAM 469 obv 38’-42’ and BAM 472:4’-7’.

[43] Cf. the parallels in BAM 469 obv 43’-46’, BAM 216:51’-54’, BAM 197:32-36 (slightly varying).

[44] For A iii 1’-10’ cf. the parallel sequence of entries in BAM 469 obv 47’-52’, rev 1 (another ŠU.GIDIM-collection on an one col. tablet from Niniveh from an older original). Another parallel is BAM 472:8’-9’.

[45] If AMT 33/3 belongs to this passage, the restoration ^u2IGI-lim ^u2IGI-20 seems much likely.

[46] Contra BabMed Corpus BAM 471 iii 4’.

[47] Possible restoration according to BAM 469 obv 52’ suggested by A. Bácskay.

[48] Cf. next to the parallel BAM 469 rev 2 also BAM 221 iii 3’-4’ where the second half of the entry might be restored ^u2šuk-kuš-ti BAR MUŠ DIŠ-niš ⸢SUD₂⸣ [ina DE₃].

[49] Cf. the parallel BAM 469 rev 3.

[50] The course of the parallel passage BAM 469 obv 47’-52’, rev 1-7 suggests two ruled of recipe sections.

[51] Cf. the parallel BAM 469 rev 6.

[52] Cf. the parallel BAM 469 rev 7.

[54] BabMed Corpus BAM 471 iii 12‘ restores sa-⌈ḫir⌉-[ti …] (following CAD) but the sign after sa do rather look like ḪI or AḪ but not EZEN (= ḫir) or ḪAR (= ḫir₂). CAD S, 60 sāḫiru A suggests the emendation to sa-ḫir-ti, referring to the urin of male and female encircling persons (i.e. warlock and witch).

[55] Cf. the parallel BAM 221 iii 7’-8’ as well as possibly the collection AMT 95/1 (Sm 353:12’).

[56] Consider the striking similarities with A iii 21 as well as the incipit of NECK 2 (DIŠ NA ŠU.GIDIM.MA DAB-su-ma lu ina DU₃–ti A.ZU-ti lu ina DU₃–ti MAŠ.MAŠ-ti il-ta-za-az-ma NU DU₈) but without the indication that whether asûtu nor āšipūtu could solve it.

[57] Cf. the parallel BAM 221 rev 9’-10’.

[58] Cf. the parallels BAM 221 rev 11’-13’ as well as for the end of the entry BAM 385 iv 1-3.

[59] BabMed Corpus BAM 221 rev 13‘ transcribes TAG-⌈šu₂⌉ but the text as well as the copy has TAG^!-⌈su⌉.

[60] Cf. the parallels BAM 221 iii 14‘-18‘, BAM 323 75-78 and BAM 385 iv 4-13 as well as maybe BAM 470 obv 24’-26’.

[61] Most likely the last vowel of the verbal form has been left out. U₂ must therefore belong to the plant ^u2LAL as noted in the parallels (suggestion A. Bácskay).

[62] Both parallels have (^giš)MAŠ.ḪUŠ.

[63] Cf. the parallels BAM 323 iii 19‘-24‘, BAM 385 iv 14-19 and AMT 97, 1 (K 2359; K 6015 + K 14166), 1-7. Much similar is BAM 9:55-57 ([DIŠ] ⌈NA⌉ KIN ŠU.GIDIM.MA ZAL.ZAL ša ^lu2MAŠ.MAŠ NU ZU-u ana ZI-⌈šu₂⌉). The incantation is likewise part of Muššuʾu IV/i:94-97.

For the incantation in general see also Sm 385+ (AMT 86, 1) iii 5-9; K 6488 (AMT 85, 1) ii^! 14′; „BMS 12+“ (Mayer, OrNS 62, 313ff.) 117; U 2926 (UET 7, 125) Vs. 3-5; VAT 8228 (KAR 298) Rs. 42; K 9873+ (Wiggermann, CM 1, 206f.)

[67] Cf. the possible parallels, all respectively following the aforementioned incantation, in BAM 221 iii 30’-31’, BAM 385 iv 25-26 and AMT 97/1:14-15.

[68] BAM 385 iv 25 has var. an-na-a-tu.

[69] The traces might represent alternatively […].⌈MEŠ⌉ <ina>-aḫ.

[70] The same entry might be at hand in BAM 221 iii 23’ (due to the fragmentary state of BAM 385 iv 27 it is uncertain if this has to be considered as the same entry as well).

[71] Cf. the most likely parallel BAM 469 rev 17-19 (ana MIN GE₆ ša hal-la ANŠE ša ⸢ZAG⸣ u GUB₂ TI-qi₂-ma ze-⸢e⸣-[x x x] / ⸢ina⸣ ^sig2AKA₃ ta-kap-par ^tug2NIG₂.DARA₂.ŠU.LAL₂ SIG₂ KUN UR.GI₇ GE₆ [x x] / [x x] UR.GI₇ U₂.HI.A an-nu-ti TEŠ.BI HI.HI ina IZI KUŠ-šu₂ DIŠ-niš SAR [(x x) TI]).

[72] The introductory formula might likewise be positioned another line above. It is uncertain if all or maybe more than the recipes given in BAM 469 for this specific ailment (DIŠ NA GIDIM DAB-su) have been noted. Respectively, the numbers following the introductory DIŠ might have differed accordingly.

[78] Contra BabMed Corpus BAM 471 iv 8‘ (tu₂-kal-la ša) and ibid. BAM 469 rev 24-25 (ka-la-[ma …]). The ambiguous form refers most likely to the curving area of the cranium (kalli gulgulli).

[79] Cf. the parallel BAM 469 rev 26-27.

A = AMT 97/6 (K. 3486)

 

– cf. Labat (1957), 109; Scurlock (2006), no. 137c, 304a, 307, 308a, 329

– The fragment AMT 81/7 (82-5-22, 562) belongs most likely not to a serial ms. (the fragmentary symptom description which is comparable to the presumed incipit of the series first tablet is mentioned in l. 18’ only), but the course of the text seems to go more or less d’accord with the course of BAM 221 col. ii. The third column of BAM 221 shares interestingly some parallels, again in correct order, with BAM 471 which again hints on the possible identification of BAM 471 as of NECK 2 (or NECK 1 but certainly not NECK 6)[1]

– The fragment AMT 94/6 (K. 13387), although sharing the same symptom description, seems to be much similar to BAM 225 rev 3‘-11‘ (with the curious spelling ina NE.NE-ti or better ne-pel-ti for nēpešti^?), especially its therapy, differing from AMT 97/6.

[1] Already mentioned in Panayotov (2018) as possible witness of NECK 1 or 6.

[2] Cf. for restoration also the collections BAM 221 ii 8‘-11‘, AMT 81/7:11-13 (a similar collection to BAM 221) and BAM 155 i 9‘-11‘ (fragmentary). Similar but most likely differing concerning its therapy is AMT 94/6:1ff (DIŠ NA ŠU.GIDIM.MA DAB^!-⌈su-ma⌉ [lu ina DU₃–ti] / A.ZU-ti lu-u ina ⌈DU₃⌉-[ti MAŠ.MAŠ-ti …] / ^šim⌈LI⌉ […] / ⌈BARA₂/SIG₇^?⌉ […] / x […]) and its parallel BAM 225 rev 3‘-11‘. Cf. further the (same) incipit on the inc.-tablet K. 2359.

[3] The verbal form might have been placed within the end of l. 1 as well.

[4] Cf. the parallels BAM 161 iii 11‘-14‘ and BAM 221 ii 12‘-13‘

[5] Most likely a erroneous writing ^u2IGI-KI(imḫur-ašrā^?) for ^u2IGI-20(imḫūr-ešrā), resulting from the similar Akkadian reading of the signs MAN = ešrā (20) and KI = ašru (“place”). See the different interpretation in Scurlock (2006), no. 304a, reading ^u2ši-qi₂.

[6] Cf. the parallel BAM 221 ii 14‘-16‘.

[7] Cf. the parallels for A i 9-10 in BAM 216 :5‘-7‘ and BAM 573 ii 4‘-6‘. This incantation is also attested in texts against ringing ears, another well known symptom of ghost induced illnesses. Cf. BAM 506:4‘-5‘ and AMT 37/8:2‘-4‘.

[8] Scurlock (2006), no. 137c restores ŠID-⌈nu-ma⌉ [DIN^?].

[9] Cf. the parallel BAM 221 ii 17‘-20‘.

[10] Collation needed.

– So far, no serial witness for this tablet is attested but the incipit, as suggested in the AMC (see below), is attested within the therapeutic collection (against illnesses induced by ghosts) AMT 97/4 (K. 4075) l. 18’-21’. It is uncertain if the following recipes in ll. 22’ and 23’f. could have been noted likewise in NECK 1.

– The sub-series NECK was, different from its seemingly anatomically oriented description, most likely engaged with general afflictions induced by the “hand of a ghost”, a topic already treated in CRANIUM 2 and EARS. It might therefore considered as a supplementary sub-series.

– Panayotov, BAM 9 (2018), 99 fn. 51 and 54 suggest BAM 471 as possible candidate for NECK 1 or 6 although some hints suggest rather an identification with NECK 1 or 2[1]

 

– A considerable number of collections (from older originals) are known from Niniveh which seem to be partly oriented on the specific treatments of ghost induced illnesses as well as the general diagnostic prescription ŠU.GIDIM.MA iṣabbassu/isbassu(DAB-su):

BAM 469 (fumigations, last entry for an amulet)

BAM 470 (amulets), AMT 6/10+ (K. 2550+) (inc. and amulets)

AMT 81/7 (potions), AMT 95/1 (potions, dishes(?) and [broken])

AMT 93/1 (amulets, fumigations and ointments), BAM 472 (ointments and fumigations)

AMT 94/5 (broken), AMT 94/6 (broken, parallels most likely BAM 225 rev 3’-11’)

[1] Identification E. Schmidtchen.

[2] The ascription of this fragment to the series as well as witness A is not fully certain. Cf. especially the passages in col. iv as well as the diagnostic formulation ana libbi uznišu […] on the obverse. If the possible position of joining both fragments at the end of the reverse of A is correct, the subsequent joining place on the obverse should be directly before the beginning of A obv.

[3] Cf. Steinert, BAM 9 (2018), 210 ll. 11-12. Cf. the possible parallels Labat (1970), iii 10’-15’ as well as the mentioning of the symptom description and the diagnostic omen apodosis in Sakikkû 8:13.

[4] Restoration Scurlock (2006), no. 339.

[5] Or sip(ME) for esēpu “to gather, collect”?

[6] Maybe MUN or TIM?

[7] Restoration Scurlock (2006), no. 316.

[8] The restoration of taq-ti-ru “fumigants” at the end of the line in Scurlock (2006), no. 316 following BAM 471 ii 8’ is uncertain.

[9] Scurlock (2006), no. 316 suggests the uncertain form ḫipṣu (“ḫipṣu-preperation”) which may better be interpreted as ḫibṣu “lump (of …)”.

[10] Maybe something like GEŠTU.MIN-šu₂ i-šag-gu-ma or together with the indication of a particular side (GEŠTU GUB₃/150-šu₂), but the unusual form TAB.BA in A i 15’ might suggest, according to Scurlock (2006), no. 159, the symptom of an inflammation.

[11] Scurlock (2006), no. 159 restores ⌈KU⌉-[pi …], which is not impossible but uncertain without parallel.

[12] Cf. the note in Scurlock (2006), no. 159 which interprets the unusual spelling either as “funeral offering-plant” (šaman kisikkî) or the writing of an unknown foreign plant.

[13] For restoration see the parallel RSO 32.109ff given in Scurlock (2006), no. 136a.

[14] Scurlock (2006), no. 145 interprets this fragmentary passage convincingly as an insertion of materia medica into the ear (ina MUD ⌈GEŠTU⌉.[MIN-šu₂ …]) via a straw (uppu, MUD) but it is likewise possible that the traces might actually refer to the often attested insertion of a bronze tube (ina MUD ⌈ZABAR⌉) which fits better the remnants following MUD (UD.[KA.BAR^? ina GEŠTU …]). See CAD U/W, 184 sub 2a.

[15] Cf. entry 11‘.

[16] For the restoration see Scurlock (2006), no. 149a following BM 76023+ (ibid. no. 149b).

[17] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:22‘-23‘ having slightly differently EN₂ PEŠ.DU₈ ib-ni ^de₂-a IM.[MA.AN.NA AN].⸢KI⸣.A IGI BI.IN.GUR₅.UŠ / NA₄ li-is-suh-šu₂ NA₄ li-kul-šu₂ NA₄ lis-kip-šu₂ NA₄ liš-pi-šu₂ NA₄ li-pa-sis-su TU₆.EN₂.

[18] The parallel BM 76023+ (Scurlock (2006), no. 149b) reads li-is-suḫ–šu₂ at this position followed by li-is-k[ip–šu₂].

[19] Scurlock (2006), no. 149a restores ⌈liš-pi⌉-[šu₂] “may the stone lace [it] up”.

[20] Scurlock (2006), no. 151 restores ^gišEREN, on the basis of the spelling MUD₂ ^gišEREN within the same position in the following entry, for which very little space is left. Including the genitive-case of the following ingredient arandi one might rather think of dām arandi “blood of a wild ass (as a Deckname?)/sap of arantu-grass(?)” (araddu/arandu) than just arandi for arantu/arandu “a kind of grass” as assumed by J. Scurlock.

[21] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:14‘-15‘.

[22] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:16‘-17‘.

[23] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:18‘.

[24] The suggested parallel BAM 506:18‘ has differently SI ḪUŠ.BI (…).

[25] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:19‘-21‘.

[26] It is quite possible that ^šimŠEŠ (see the previous entry) is likewise to be restored here.

[27] According to Scurlock (2006), no. 154 note to ii 12, 14 the join is not a direct one as suggested by Köcher’s copy, but leaves room for one or two signs.

[28] See for the expected space between the fragments the note to entry 26‘. The traces might belong to [^šim]⌈LI⌉.

[29] Cf. the parallel BAM 506:26‘-27‘ and BAM 507:2‘-5‘ (slightly varying).

[30] See for the expected space between the fragments the note to entry 26‘.

[31] See for the expected space between the fragments the note to entry 26‘.

[32] Cf. the parallel BAM 508 iv 18-27 (EN₂ nig₂-e₃ nig₂-e₃ nig₂-nam-ma uš-[bi^?] / ki-a dim₂-ma-bi a-ri-a an-na-⌈ke₄⌉ / sig₇-alam-bi nig₂-an-gen₇ šu nu-te-⌈ga₂⌉ / ḫur-sag-gen₇ gul-gul sig₇-alam-bi zi-ir-zi-ir-e-[de₃] / [nig₂] udug ḫa-ra-an nig₂ udug kaskal-am₃ / [nig₂]-ni₂-zu mu-un-ši-in-gen-na nig₂-ni₂-zu mu-un-ši-in-gen-na / ^dnin-urta lugal ^gištukul-ke₄ ⌈gaba⌉-[zu ḫe₂-en-ga₂-ga₂^?] / ḫul-dub₂ zi an-na ḫe₂-⌈pad₃⌉ [zi ki-a ḫe₂-pad₃]) suggesting ca. 2 lines missing before the start of the incantation after entry 31’. Cf. also Geller, Forerunners to Udug-ḫul (1985), 40 (tablet 5, l. 377ff.), without ḫe₂-pad₃-formular as udug-ḫul-incantation. It is suspicious that this rather canonical Sumerian incantation has been left out within the incantation compilations for ear ailments (see the parallels for the surrounding incantations).

[33] Or EN₂ an-ni-ta₅/ŠEŠ? Due to the spacial distribution it is uncertain if the rubric has to be restored according to BAM 508 iv 26-27 (KA.INIM.MA DIŠ NA GEŠTU.MIN-šu₂ i-šag-gu-ma …).

[34] Cf. the parallels in BAM 506:32‘-34‘, BAM 507:6‘-8‘, BAM 508 iv 28-31 and CT 51, no. 199:14-17.

[35] Cf. the parallels in BAM 506:35‘-37‘, BAM 507:9‘-14‘, BAM 508 iv 32-34 and CT 51, no. 199:18-20.

[36] According to Scurlock (2014), 718 to be restored after BM 41373 i 6-10 (= iii 52’-56’). See also the parallel Labat (1970), ii 11’-13’.

[37] It is uncertain if the space from the beginning of the line until the break is enough for restoring the whole symptomatology.

[38] See for a possible restoration the parallel Labat (1970), ii 14’-20’ (DIŠ NA GIG-ma GIG-su ina …). But  cf. also the similar symptomatology in entry 41’ (fever).

[39] The traces, which hardly visible, might indicate rather ana then ina.

[40] The meaning of this passage is uncertain. The translation of Scurlock (2014), 382 (“You have him eat saḫlû-cress upon which nothing has been allowed to fall in emmer bread.”) remains evenly unclear. Why mentioning that none of the saḫlû should have been fallen into emmer-bread? In my view, it is more reasonable to assume that the saḫlû has to given to eat to the patient together with emmer-bread (ina, instrumental).

[41] Cf. the parallel BAM 3 iii 50.

[42] Cf. the slightly varying parallel BAM 3 iv 12 (GU₇–šú u SIG₃.SIG₃–su-ma).

[43] See the partly parallel BAM 3 iv 14.

[44] Most likely describing nešmû “hearing” (dual).

[45] Restoration according to BAM 3 iv 14.

[46] The suggested restorations following BAM 3 are uncertain since this passage has been left out or is additional to BAM 3 iv 14.

[47] Restoration according to Scurlock (2014), 373, although this restoration (LUGUD (MUD₂-BABBAR)) seems to be a guess following entry 40’.

[48] See similar BAM 3 iv 20.

[49] Scurlock (2014), 737 indicates a ruling which is, at least on the copy, not within the text.

[50] The traces suggest a sign beginning with a Winkelhaken, so one may reconstruct ^giš⌈DIḪ₃⌉ or similar.

[51] Reconstructed parallel to the previous line according to Scurlock (2014) 737.

[52] Scurlock (2014) seems to associate the unusual form kam-ka-ma with kanku “sealed; sealing”, interpreting it as a kind of “glue”.

[53] Reconstruction according to Scurlock (2014), 374. But without a parallel I am rather uncertain about this unusual passage.

[54] Contra Scurlock (2014), 734 which has GU₂.MURGU₂.

[55] Scurlock (2014), 374 interprets this sequence as I₃–šu₂ “its fat/oil”. It is unclear if x an might be read as ⌈GAR⌉-an since the broken passage seems rather short for a prescription like [(materia medica) + ana libbi uznīšu] ⌈GAR⌉-an.

[56] Scurlock (2014), 734 interprets this unusual phrase as “to utter a turuʾu-cry”, in vein with the suggested verbal form [ta-ša₂]-⌈as⌉-si at the beginning of the following line.

[57] Cf. the partly parallel Labat (1957), col. ii 1-7’ for iii 12-15.

[58] There seems to be too little space for restoring the expected ŠA₃.

[59] The interpretation of Scurlock (2014), 374, which has been provisorily adapted here, is highly uncertain. One might likewise restore [x (x)] ša LU₂.U₁₈.<LU> referring to a skull, bone or similar.

[60] Scurlock (2014), 375 restores […] ⌈ḪAR^!⌉.ḪAR.

[61] Interpreted as “(his) hearing” (še-mi-[šu₂ …]) in Scurlock (2014), 384. However, the previous column uses differently the term nešmû.

[62] Or MUD₂ <^giš>DIḪ₃?

[63] See for restoration cf. BM 41373 i 1-4 = iii 48‘-51‘.

[64] According to the parallel BM 41373 1-4 this traces should belong to SUD₂ but in connection with the previous materia medica SUD, which fits better the traces, might better suit the context. Cf. also the new fragment B.

[65] It is uncertain if the restoration according to BM 41373 suggested in Scurlock (2014), 376 is correct since the space of the break seems too little for this.

[66] See for restoration cf. BM 41373 i 6-10 = iii 52‘-56‘.

[67] The space seems to be not enough for the suggested restoration in Scurlock (2014), 376.

[68] Or […] x ⌈MIN⌉? Cf. similar maybe the following entry 58’ (GU₇.MIN).

[69] Or does it belong to the healing introduction ana bulluṭišu which is attested for this sequence at least within the entries 60’ and 62’.

[70] Maybe in the meaning „chopped“or “grinded” (adj. from kaṣāṣu)? The phrase ša gaṣṣātešu usually describes “firewood (gaṣṣātu) men”.

[71] While the restoration I₃ BUR el-lam ana SAG.DU-šu₂ ŠUB-di in Scurlock (2014), 376 is likely, the following restoration [… saḫ-le₂-e] ina NINDA (…) is uncertain since no parallel is given by Scurlock.

[72] Contra Scurlock (2014), 376 which has mistakenly A.ESIR^! but ESIR (iṭṭû) = A+ESIR₂.

[73] The interpretation as šūšu ”liquorice” is uncertain.

[74] Scurlock (2014), 377 restores ⌈KUM₂^?⌉ which is, due to the fragmentary state of the passage, uncertain. The traces look like MI, AB or similar.

[75] Scurlock (2014), 377 has SIG₇.SIG₇ but the signs within the copy are clearly KU₇.KU₇.

[76] Scurlock (2014), 377 restores the rather unusual phrase DU₁₀ [IGI-mar].

[77] For the restoration of A iv 11-19 cf. the parallels in BM 41289 ii 4‘-13‘ as well as Labat (1957), 109-122 iv 10’-14’ for iv 11-14 and ibid. iii 17’-18’ partly for iv 19.

[78] Scurlock (2014), 378 restores furthermore <^sig2AKA₃ [SUD]> which is sincerely in need for the application. It is otherwise uncertain, if this instruction has been explicated within the Babylonian or Nineveh-text.

[79] Within the parallel BM 41289 adds after ^gišMAŠ.ḪUŠ the ingredient BURU₅.ḪABRUD.DA.

[80] CAD Ḫ, 126 interprets ḫasīsu (meaning 1) as “apertures of the ears” instead of “outside of the ears” as suggested in Scurlock (2014), 386. Cf. likewise the bread called ḫasistu which is most likely not meant in this instance. Usually the term ḫasīsu for direct reference to the ears is not attested as fem. pl.

[81] Scurlock (2014), 378 restores SAG.DU-⌈su⌉ [KUD-is MUD₂.MEŠ^? KUM₂^? ana ŠA₃ GEŠTU-šu₂ tu-na-tak] but the traces after SAG.DU look apparently different from SU. It is therefore much likely, that there may have been another bird, resp. its head, was mentioned. The traces fit ŠIR which suggest the restoration of BURU₄(ŠIR-BUR) for āribu “raven” or “crow”.

[82] For restoration cf. the entries of the last half of BAM 503 col. iv.

[83] Scurlock (2014), 378 interprets the signs as I₃.GIŠ ina KA-ka ana ŠA₃ GEŠTU-[šu₂ …] “[You blow] oil into [his] ears with your mouth” which is a rather unusual formulation. One might likewise think of an unusual spelling of a plant (I₃ ^gišaš-ka-du₁₁^? or similar) whose oil is applied to the ears of the patient or a scribal error.

[84] Cf. the partly parallel Labat (1957), 109-122 iii 4-9.

[85] Scurlock (2014), 378f. restores further [ina UD 4.KAM₂ <LUGUD ša₂ ŠA₃> GEŠTU^?]-šu₂ <E₁₁–ma> (…).

[86] Differently interpreted in Scurlock (2014), 379/387 as ^tug2DUL-šu₂ “his cover”.

[87] Or restore ni-⌈kip⌉-[ta₅^? …]
