CLAY TABLET WITH CUNEIFORM SCRIPT AND SEAL
Emar ( present-day Meskenes), 13th century BC.
Fired clay with notched cuneiform script on all sides. One narrow side with a seal and figurative scenes.
8.5 × 6.6 × 2.5 cm.
Provenance:
Zurich private collection, probably acquired in the 1970/80s (inventory, no. 5.21).
With an English translation of the cuneiform script (author of the translation unknown): “Record of the vicissitudes of a sum of 10 shekels of silver and one ox. These had belonged to Adad-malik, who, during his lifetime, gave them to Hinnu-Dagan to keep but eventually to return them to his (Adad-malik’s) wife and Tura-Dagan. This Hinnu-Dagan duly did. But at this point of time further specifications came to light : that Adad-malik had entered the silver and ox in a tablet of debts he owed to Hinnu-Dagan, to whom they should therefore pass on Adad-malik’s death, and that the wife of Adad-malik and Zubala were also part owners of the silver and ox. No solution to the difficulties is given : the facts are stated and witnessed by three persons."
The mention of Hinnu-Dagan, son of La'rima, is also found on a cuneiform tablet from the Jonathan Rosen Collection (Cf. Gary Beckman: Texts from the Viztum Emar in the Collection of Jonathan Rosen, In: History of the Near East, Monographs, vol. 2, Padua 1996. no.. RE 72).
