           <\/p>\n

          – the exact number of tablets of the EPIGASTRIUM section of the AMC is uncertain but in the ninivite recension it seems to have been connected with ABDOMEN up to a total of 8 tablets (see AMD 8\/1 text 7.5, K. 3661 and K. 13390 = AMT 44\/7 both col. iv tablet 8 but rubric EPIGASTRIUM!)<\/p>\n

          – the incipit of the first tablet is known from the serial sources (see the catchline within the last tablet of STOMACH as well as, interestingly, from the rubric of the 8th tablet of ABDOMEN and 1881-7-27, 57 (AMT 43\/6) l. 1f.)<\/p>\n

          – the 3rd<\/sup>\u2019s tablet incipit (again, within the AMC) is written with a lot of space which might indicate that this line held only one incipit – this would subsequently mean that the sub-section EPIGASTRIUM might have had only 3 tablets and ABDOMEN (for a total of 8 tablets) consisted maybe of only 5 tablets – presupposed the number of tablets did not differ between the AMC and the actual serial witnesses from Ninive (except from the division into one and not two sub-section as shown in the AMC)<\/p>\n

          – the traces of the first tablet of the AMC\u2019s ABDOMEN-section might likewise suggest the restoration DI\u0160 NA \u2308TUN3<\/sub>\u2309 [(\u0160A3<\/sub>)-\u0161u2<\/sub><\/em> …] instead of GIDIM which is of course possible as well<\/p>\n

          – so far, only few fragments of three tablets of the serial recension are identified for this sub-section(s) with relative certainty since the share the incipits given in the AMC as well as the usual layout of two col. per side as well as the use of BAK 329:<\/p>\n

          tbl. 1 (1881-7-27, 57 (AMT 43\/6), most likely two col. according to layout);<\/p>\n

          tbl. 7 (K. 6172 + K. 8127 + K. 8438 + K. 10980 (BAM 449), two col. and most likely BAK 329, as well as maybe K. 3278 (BAM 458), col. ii bottom, K. 6605 (BAM 452), and K. 5949 + K. 15999 (BAM 453); the fragment K. 7883 + K. 16811 might fit within the break of the colophon in col. iv but the possible join it is not fully certain and has to be confirmed yet);<\/p>\n

          tbl. 8 (K. 3661 (AMD 8\/1, pl. 23) (+) K. 13390 (AMT 44\/7), two col. and BAK 329, which may represent the forth col. inclusive catchline to KIDNEYS 1 and the rubric \u201c8th<\/sup> tablet (of) [If a man], his epiga[strium] is wollen\u201d)<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          – concerning certain terms within the incipit of tablet 2: I would point to the alternative interpretation [… ne<\/em>]–<\/em>\u1e2b<\/em>e-es libbi<\/em>\u0161<\/em>u l<\/em>\u016b<\/em> diki<\/em>\u0161<\/em> irti<\/em>\u0161<\/em>u ira<\/em>\u0161\u0161\u012b<\/em> (\u201cgoing-back\u201d (from na<\/em>\u1e2b\u0101<\/em>su<\/em>\/ne<\/em>\u1e2b\u0113<\/em>su<\/em>) of the belly and swelling of the breast; polar or similar symptoms) against mi<\/em>\u1e2b<\/em>i<\/em>\u1e63<\/em> libbi<\/em>\u0161<\/em>u<\/em> or similar; see also the ad<\/em>\u012b<\/em>-section in AMC which refers to ne<\/em>\u1e2b\u0113<\/em>s<\/em> [narkabti<\/em>?<\/sup>] or in this case maybe ne<\/em>\u1e2b\u0113<\/em>s libbi<\/em>(?) as well<\/p>\n

          – for dik<\/em>\u0161<\/em>u<\/em> see further: K. 6562 and the possible parallel KAR 182 (= BAM 216) obv 18\u2018-21\u2018 as well as BAM 217:1-4 and BAM 218 (surrounding entries are connected with GIDIM which makes the context of NECK even more possible); cf. further AMT 96, 1 (K 4054) which mentions interestingly [DI\u0160 NA] di-ki\u0161<\/em> gi\u0161<\/sup>GIGIR GIG-ma<\/em> \u201cswelling of the <\/em>cart<\/em>\u201d (which is usually associated with the breast or upper middle of the torso, e.g. the epigastrium) that might hint on a possible identification of this peculiar term <\/em>narkabtu<\/em> (lit. \u201ccart\u201d) with some anatomical feature of the stomach-area; cf. also the lB witness BM 42298 (Finkel, Fs. Lambert, 180ff.); parallels of entries of these texts are often located within RESPIRATORY; otherwise, one might accept the traditional view of interpreting the term <\/em>narkabtu<\/em> here as a euphemism for the penis, which would, in combination with <\/em>dik<\/em>\u0161<\/em>u<\/em>, describe the swelling and shrivelling of the respective organ <\/em><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          – for the possible content of tbl. 3 or 4(?) see the excerpt or former collection BAM 156 (cf. the symptom prescription of ll. 1-3: [DI\u0160] NA NAM.ERIM2<\/sub> \u0161a<\/em>\u1e2b<\/em>-[\u1e2b<\/em>i<\/em>]-\u1e2b<\/em>u<\/em> GIG mim-mu-u i-lem-mu<\/em> \/ ina<\/em> \u0160A3<\/sub>–\u0161u<\/em>2<\/sub> la i-na-a<\/em>\u1e2b<\/em> bal-\u1e6dam!<\/sup>-ma ana<\/em> DUR2<\/sub>–\u0161u2<\/sub> u2<\/sub>-tab-bak<\/em> \/ NINDA NU GU7<\/sub> NA BI GID2<\/sub>–ma<\/em> U\u01602<\/sub> ana ma\u0161-tak-ti-\u0161u2<\/sub> u bul-lu-\u1e6di2<\/sub>-\u0161u<\/em>2<\/sub>)<\/p>\n

          – see also for complaints due to breaking an oath: BAM 49, BAM 50 and BAM 51, see further BAM 174 rev, BAM 197, BAM 198 and BAM 199 (all mostly also with afflictions by ghosts), BAM 201 (fever and oath)<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          – the whole (maybe additional) sub-series seems to be concerned, much similar to the NECK-sub-section, with problems caused by witchcraft, oath-breaking, ghosts and demons – disease-concepts which are mainly connected with the lore of the \u0101\u0161ipu<\/em><\/p>\n

          [1]<\/a> Steinert transcribed \u2308NIGIN\u2309 \u23084\u2309 \u2308DUB\u2309.[ME\u0160 \u2026] but the copy shows just \u2308NIGIN\u2309 and some traces that might be either 2, 3 or 4. Collation photos suggest slightly to restore, infavour of Steinerts reconstruction, the number 4.<\/p>\n

          [2]<\/a> One may think of the entries in BAM 323 (DI\u0160 NA GIDIM DAB-su-ma<\/em> U\u01602<\/sub>.ME\u0160-\u0161u2<\/sub> lu a-<\/em>\u2308<\/em>lu<\/em>\u2309<\/em>–<\/em>[<\/em>u lu gal-lu-u<\/em>] \/ lu<\/em> SAG.\u1e2aA.ZA DAB-su lu mim-ma lem-nu<\/em> DAB.\u2308BA\u2309 [(x) DAB]-su lu<\/em> […]) against roaming ghosts together with other demonic agents mentioned but up to now, too few is known about this tablet. Interestingly, this topical connection has been drawn within NECK 3 as well, connecting hate magic, zikurrud\u00fb<\/em>-magic with ghosts and maybe demons like mukil-r<\/em>\u0113\u0161<\/em>-lemutti<\/em> likewise. Otherwise, the anatomical area of TUN3<\/sub> (\u0160A3<\/sub>) \u201cstomach(?)\u201d is likewise probable and would fit the traces.<\/p>\n

          [3]<\/a> There are too few remnants of the sign to be totally certain about the correct reading. The sign NU, as reconstructed for the AMC, might likewise be restored as GU7<\/sub> here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
