PREFACE This volume brings to a conclusion t h e publication of t h e Nuzi texts copied by t h e late Professor Chiera. It contains texts of t h e m o s t varied n a t u r e . Many classes of texts appear for t h e first t i m e in this volume. A m o n g t h e m o s t i m p o r t a n t groups should be m e n t i o n e d t h e texts p e r t a i n i n g to t h e f a m i l y laws and t h e slavery texts p e r t a i n i n g to t h e Habiru q u e s t i o n . T h e lists of personal n a m e s present m u c h valuable m a t e r i a l for t h e study of t h e e t h n i c m o v e m e n t s a r o u n d Nuzi in t h e middle of t h e second m i l l e n n i u m B.C. Although a large n u m b e r of texts excavated a t Nuzi d u r i n g t h e season of 1925 r e m a i n u n p u b l i s h e d , only a very few are of s u c h i m p o r t a n c e as to w a r r a n t a f u t u r e publication. The m a j o r i t y either are in a very f r a g m e n t a r y condition or belong to those classes of d o c u m e n t s which have already been a d e q u a t e l y treated by Professor Chiera in his preceding volumes. Owing to t h e great variety of these new texts, it h a s been t h o u g h t expedient to include in t h e description t h e classes to which t h e individual texts belong. This will m a k e it easier for t h e reader to find those in which he is particularly interested. With t h e exception of Nos. 530 and 550, t h e t a b l e t s for which are missing, each copy has been checked and compared with t h e original by myself with t h e assistance of Mr. Ernest R. L a c h e m a n . To h i m , for his c o n s t a n t aid, as well as to Mrs. Richard T. Hallock, for her part in preparing t h e plates for publication, I wish to express my sincere t h a n k s . I.
