Two large tablets, one from the Sippar Library and one from Nineveh, are published here for the first time, along with several smaller manuscripts of the text. The apparent monotheistic agenda of the hymn is discussed and compared with other syncretistic texts from Ancient Mesopotamia. In addition, it is argued that the new hymn can be regarded as a pastiche of Enūma eliš VI-VII.

More than 150 clay tablets and fragments were unearthed within several rooms, among these tablet IM 148516 which contains a new anti-witchcraft ritual conducted before the moon-god.

Le troisieme contient notamment 72 lettres adressees par le roi Ammiditana a un certain Liṭīb-libbasu, qui portait le titre de SU.I LUGAL. Trois de ces lettres sont ici publiees, qui permettent de completer ce qu’on savait sur les tâches du « barbier du roi ».

Dieses Gebäude ist von besonderem Interesse, da es zum einen fast in der Mitte der Stadt lag und zum anderen die oben genannten Tafeln beinhaltete. Die große Zahl der gefundenen Tontafeln deutet auf eine sozial hochstehende Person hin, die in diesem privaten Haus lebte. Somit kann mit Sicherheit angenommen werden, dass es sich hierbei um einen Beamten oder eine Person, die mit dem Tempel oder dem administrativen System in der Stadt Sippar in Verbindung stand, handelt. 2
