1. TEXTS CONCERNING SALES, PURCHASES, AND EXCHANGE 1.1 KUB 31.65+(+) Market Purchases for a Palace Institution? Catalog Information Excavation Number:

Publication:

CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

A₁ = Bo 9280 + 10306 A₂ = Bo 2440 + Bo 8169 A₃ = Bo 2440b A₄ = Bo 2440a A₁ = — A₂ = KUB 31.65 + Bo 8169 A₃ = KUB 31.65b A₄ = KUB 31.65a 240 (Ḫattuša) NH A large and broad one-column tablet written in a neat, clear script with notable spacing before paragraph lines. A₂-₄ = HVP, 12–21 (1.1)

Contents A list of goods acquired through purchase or barter. The individual transactions involve small quantities of manufactured objects and occasionally services obtained from named persons. The purchaser is anonymous. Analysis The crux of interpretation of 1.1 is the sales formula: A-NA mPN=an/at=kan (LÚGN) wašiat (see Neu 1980, 78 for construction -kan wašiya-, which emphasizes the motion of the exchange, in this case “from” the PN). As noted by HVP (p. 14) at the time of edition: “der Erhaltungszustand des Textes erlaubt es jedoch nicht, eindeutig zu entscheiden, ob der jeweilige LÚ URUGN das Subjekt des Satzes ist … , oder aber eine Apposition zum Namen des Verkäufers darstellt … .” The discovery now of the direct join of Bo 9280 + 10306 (= 1.1.A₁), and the indirect join of these fragments to A₂-₄ obv. 14ʹ–15ʹ, now decides for the latter. In 1.1.A₁ obv. 14ʹ, the entry 1 GIŠPAN mAliziti=at=kan LÚ URU Maḫuduwa LÚEPIŠ GIŠPAN [wašiat] can only be interpreted as “1 bow: [he bought] it from Aliziti, the man of Maḫuduwa, the bowyer,” and not “1 bow: the man of Maḫuduwa, the bowyer, [bought] it from Aliziti,” since one expects a bowyer to be

found selling a bow rather than buying one. The other transactions conducted with individuals in the dative case and lacking a geographical name, e.g., A-NA DUMU.MUNUS m.D… wašiat (1.1.A₁ obv. 6ʹ); A-NA fPiḫawiy[a wašiat] (1.1.A₁ obv. 8ʹ); A-NA mApallu wašiyat (1.1.A₃ rev. 4ʹ), confirm the pattern: The sales formula must be interpreted as a single, anonymous purchasing agent buying items in the third person (3rd sg. pret. wašiat) from a variety of sellers. Most of the sellers are identified by name, geographical origin, and/or profession, when applicable. Some sellers are identified by title (“Piḫani, man of the long weapon” in 1.1.A₁ obv. 12ʹ), relationship (an anonymous “daughter of m… ” in 1.1.A₁ obv. 6ʹ), or simply by name (fPiḫawiya in 1.1.A₁ obv. 8ʹ; mPadutti in A₂ rev. 7; mApallu in A₃ rev. 4ʹ). Occasionally the items are purchased direct from a manufacturer (“Aliziti, man of Maḫuduwa, the bowyer” in 1.1.A₁ obv. 14ʹ–15ʹ; an anonymous leatherworker from Wannanda in 1.1.A₃ rev. 8ʹ). Contra HVP (14–15), it cannot be assumed that the majority of individuals named in the text were government officials. This assessment was based on taking the geographic names as separate from the personal names. Rather, it must be reasoned that names such as Māšamuwa, Armapiya, etc. were common enough Anatolian personal names to require specification by hometown. Those names that did not receive geographic designations, e.g., Padutti, Apallu, etc., might indeed belong to government officials. The lack of further specification would then imply they had preexisting or obvious connections with the institution of the anonymous author. The geography of the towns mentioned is Anatolian. Of the towns mentioned – Karkaziya, Maḫuduwa, Ḫurla, Ḫadanta, Kalmazida, Andamišara, Zikuliya, Angalā, Gapaštara, Arzawa, Ḫupanda, Wannanda – only four are known. Ḫadanta (1.1.A₂ obv. 12ʹ) was a small town in the vicinity of Tawiniya, and thus one day’s march from Ḫattuša (Kryszeń 2016, 131, 140). Zikuliya is probably the same as Ziškuliya, being different graphical representations of the same initial sequence /tsk-/. Ziškuliya was a town somewhere near Ḫanḫana and Kašḫa (Kryszeń 2016, 184–5), and thus two days’ march from Ḫattuša. Further afield are Arzawa in the far west and Wannanda, if the same as Wannada from the cult inventory KUB 57.108+ rev. iii 14 (already Tischler 1988, 377), located somewhere in Tuwanuwa in the Lower Land (Forlanini 2017, 240–41). The proliferation of sellers, the local geography of the towns mentioned, the modest quantities and heterogeneous selection of goods acquired from a single seller suggest a market context. Based on the findspot of the tablet in Boğazköy and the use of bulk grain for payment, the marketplace was almost certainly that of the city of Ḫattuša. The Ḫattušan perspective of the text is confirmed by the portions of the text that are not concerned with commercial transactions. In 1.1.A₂ obv. 3ʹ–14ʹ, the transfer of grain products from Ḫattuša to various towns, with no mention of purchase, is described. The explicit appearance of the phrase I-NA URUKÙ.BABBAR-TI uter “they brought here to Ḫattuša” (1.1.A₂ obv. 5ʹ) allows it to be assumed that Ḫattuša was also the goal of motion for the following u-prefixed verbs (1.1.A₂ obv. 6ʹ and 7ʹ), as well as the origin of movement for the pē-prefixed verbs (1.1.A₂ obv. 8ʹ, 9ʹ, 10ʹ, 11ʹ). The town of Ḫurla in A₂ obv. 8ʹ is otherwise unknown, but the fact that it received quantities of wet meal, malt, and wort, i.e., the ingredients for beer production, suggests it lay in the vicinity

of Ḫattuša (beer was a highly perishable commodity prior to refrigeration, pasteurization, and the introduction of hops as a flavoring agent and preservative). Another line mentions a quantity of grain at the threshing floor in Ḫadanta (1.1.A₂ obv. 12ʹ), which, as noted above, lay no more than two days from Ḫattuša. Thus, the text would seem to record the market transactions of a Ḫattuša-based institution, which could furnish small quantities of grain, silver (implied by wašiyawhen no trade item is mentioned), and occasionally implements (see philological Commentary to 1.1.A₁ obv. 13ʹ) in trade for domestic items (tools, cookware, and garments) and services (grain cultivation in 1.1.A₁ obv. 13ʹ and 1.1.A₂ obv. 8). Because the transactions were recorded from the perspective of a single institution, there was no need to repeatedly name the institution or the purchasing agent – this was probably identified in the missing first lines of the text or the colophon – only the various sellers from whom the goods were acquired. The surest clue as to the identity of the purchasing institution is found in the name Mutarki. In 1.1.A₂ obv. 6ʹ–7ʹ, this individual is listed as either the source or recipient (the dative case represented by A-NA is ambiguous as to direction in Hittite when used with animate beings) of the grain products brought to Ḫattuša. Because 1.1.A₂ obv. 3ʹ–14ʹ nowhere uses the verbs of sale or exchange (waši(ya)-, dā-, pai-/piya-) found elsewhere in the text, and indeed records only transportation back and forth, it must be assumed that the grain does not leave institutional control, i.e., that the beer-brewing operation at Ḫurla and the threshing floor at Ḫadanta are part of the same institution. Therefore, whether Mutarki was stationed in Ḫurla or in Ḫattuša is immaterial to the fact that he was an affiliate of the institution that authored the text. If he is the same Mutarki who appeared in KUB 13.35+ rev. iii 42 (CTH 293 – Legal Proceedings against Ukkura) among a list of individuals warned against the frivolous use of the queen’s wagons and the embezzling of items – many of which are categorically identical to those purchased in the present text – from the queen’s warehouse, then the institutional author of 1.1 must have been a palace institution. This institution was perhaps the queen’s household, the É.GAL MUNUS.LUGAL (see Siegelová 2015, 244 for discussion of the economic scope of this institution, which controlled large estates in the vicinity of Ḫattuša as well as maintaining a storehouse in the city itself). Involvement of the queen’s household would then explain the presence of the king of Tarḫuntašša in 1.1.A₃ rev. 12ʹ, and, indeed, the otherwise extravagant use of cuneiform to record what was in effect a shopping trip.

congruency with the rest of the text. The town of Ḫupanda is otherwise unattested: if it were shown to be a town in Arzawa, this would strengthen the argument for including “the man of Ḫupanda” in 1.1.A₃ rev. 6ʹ among the men of Arzawa making a sale.

1.2 Bo 6606 A Text Concerning Compensation According to Market Value Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 6606 — 240 (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from the middle right edge of tablet reverse, written in clear, cursive script. HVP, 22–27 (1.2). Fuscagni 2007, 147–48 (translit. only)

Contents A list of individual cloths, copper vessels, and copper implements, each provided with a sales price/market value in shekels of silver. Analysis Whereas 1.2 is one of only three texts, along with 1.4 and 1.5, to mention a ‘sales price’ (ŠÀM), the sales price here is used a proxy for compensation (šarnikzēl), as 1.2 rev. 1ʹ makes clear. Thus, a better translation for ŠÀM in 1.2 would be ‘market value’, since no sale takes place. There is nevertheless no obvious interpretation of the text as a whole. As HVP (p. 22) noted: “könnte das Dokument gegebenenfalls auch mit einer Entschädigung, einer Ersatzleistung verbunden sein, wie sie z. B. in den Orakeln angeordnet wurde zur Wiedergutmachung von Vergehen.” However, as HVP acknowledged (22– 23), oracles usually prescribe replacement of the object in kind, described by number and weight, rather than by an equivalent value. Adding to the mystery is the presence of a Hittite prince and Tattamaru, who was a high official (GAL UKU.UŠ), a son of Šahurunuwa, and an in-law of the royal family (Bilgin 2018, 226–27). Despite the fact Tattamaru is probably attested as receiving something in rev. 2ʹ, the relatively small amounts of compensation and the mundane nature of the items listed in the text (textiles, copper vessels and tools) argue against a lawsuit or a gift exchange.

1.3 Bo 5186 Fragment of a Text Recording a Gift or Exchange of Gold Jewelry and a Knife Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description:

Previous Edition(s):

Bo 5186 — 240 (Ḫattuša) NH A small fragment from the lower edge of large tablet; Randleiste ensures that the original tablet was multicolumned (Waal 2015, 103), though obv./rev. and column number cannot be determined. —

Contents A list of gold jewelry with detailed descriptions and field knife which are given. Analysis 1.3 contains a list of jewelry followed by a verb pešta ‘he gave’ (2ʹ, 7ʹ). The closest parallel to the list of objects “given” in 3 sg. pret. is 1.2. However, the lack of a ‘sales price’ (ŠÀM), or market value, in 1.3 suggests a different context. On the one hand, the items mentioned, namely a knife and earrings, closely resemble the genre of “gifts and handouts” from the palace. On the other hand, the presence of the reflexive sentential clitic -za in 4ʹ makes a restoration [ḫuḫur]talla=za [dāš] “[he took a neck]lace for himself” attractive. This would push the meaning of the text towards barter or exchange, rather than a handout. Transliteration and translation to be provided following official publication.

1.4 KUB 60.68 A List of Copper Objects Sold to/Bought from(?) Men from the Territory of Nerik Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 1419 KUB 60.68 240 (Ḫattuša) NH An interior fragment written in a dense script with no space before paragraph lines. Forlanini 1992, 297–98 (translit., discussion of 3ʹ–9ʹ). Groddek 2006, 68 (translit. only)

Contents A list of individual copper objects followed by demonyms from the territory of Nerik. Analysis 1.4 presents a tantalizing fragment, but there is not enough context to draw firm conclusions. As noted by Forlanini (1992, 292–95) and Corti (2017, 225), all of the cities are in the territory of Nerik. Formally, 1.4 most closely recalls the “ĪDE texts” (see 5. Extramural Allocations), but the mention of a sales price in 3ʹ is unparalleled in that genre. The direction of the sales transaction in lines 1ʹ–3ʹ cannot be determined. In 4ʹ, the presence of the A-NA suggests mpí-x[ was the supplier of the preceding items (cf. the consistent use of A-NA to designate suppliers in 1.1). In 5ʹ–10ʹ, the lack of an A-NA before the demonyms could indicate that these groups were recipients (cf. the same in the ĪDE texts). Thus, the text might record both incoming and outgoing transactions. Transliteration 1ʹ 2ʹ 3ʹ 4ʹ 5ʹ 6ʹ 7ʹ 8ʹ 9ʹ 10ʹ

Commentary 3ʹ The tense, person, and agent of the verb in this line are completely unknown. Two verbs seem possible: either appan pai- ‘to remit’, or appan dā- ‘to take in return’, both with ŠÀM ‘sales price’ as the direct object. As for the preceding “men of Ḫatenzuwa,” the most straightforward interpretation is take them as the recipients of an item, analogous to 5ʹ–10ʹ, where a list of demonyms appear asyndetically after copper items. In this case, the “men of Ḫatenzuwa” would have been the final entry in what was also a paragraph of demonyms. The last sentence of the paragraph, then, would indicate that the listed items had been sold to, or bought from, the named groups. The seller or buyer would have been anonymous, but presumably someone connected to the palace or temple administration, since the record appears on a cuneiform tablet in the palace/temple archives. Other interpretations are possible. It could be that men of Ḫatenzuwa were given the sales price equivalent of whatever they were supposed to receive, etc. The lack of context and the absence of parallels in the PTAC make a firm restoration impossible. 4ʹ The A-NA is written above the line.

1.5 KUB 42.84 A Record of Diplomatic Gifts Sent(?) to Ugarit, Also Mentioning a Sales Transaction Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 7916 KUB 42.84 240 (Ḫattuša) NH A square-shaped, single-column tablet written in a neat, but mistake-filled script. HIT, 154–56. HVP, 124–29 (2.2.2.4)

Contents A detailed description luxury objects and chests “taken” by three individuals, followed by a description of a sales transaction between Ḫattuša and Ugarit. Analysis Although HVP (p. 254) suggested this text was a handout (“Im Inventurprotokoll KUB XLII 84 (2.2.2.4.) werden Ausgaben zitiert, die an namentlich gebuchte Personen gegangen sind”), there is no evidence that the individuals named were the final recipients of the objects. Indeed, the use of the verb dā- ‘to take’ argues otherwise: in almost every other instance in the PTAC (e.g., 4.1.1.1.B₁ rev. iii? 10, 14, 16; 3.1.8.A obv. 14ʹ; 5.1 rev. iii 7), the verb used to describe individuals withdrawing objects from palace storehouses for use on official business. Only in 1.1 (1.1.A₁ obv. 10ʹ, 13ʹ; 1.1.A₂ rev. 7), where individuals “take” objects as payment, does the verb have a connotation of permanent exchange – and there, the context of 1.1 as a record of market purchases by an agent of the palace suggests that the “taking” was also conceived of as an officially sanctioned withdrawal of palace property. Conversely, true handouts are marked by a simple juxtaposition of object and recipient, with the recipient either in nominative (as in 4.1.4.1, 4.1.4.2, 4.1.4.4, 4.1.4.6) or in dative (as in 6.1). It may be thus surmised that the individuals named in 1.5 were temporarily entrusted with the listed items for some official purpose. The nature of the items and the mention of Ugarit in the final paragraph suggest that the official purpose was part of a diplomatic mission. Judging by the materials and details of the items described in the text, the goods were meant to be luxurious show pieces. The presence of the three URU-LUM ‘mural crowns(?)’ in the first paragraph situates the gifts among the highest levels of power and prestige. The final paragraph indicates these goods were almost certainly destined for Ugarit. HVP (p. 124) had speculated that this paragraph recorded a gift exchange between Ugarit and Ḫattuša, “wobei anscheinend einen Teil der Kompensation zwei Knaben bildeten.” The new reading in rev. 25 now of Š[ÁM “sa[les price,” offers a different interpretation. It seems that the final paragraph records a merchant transaction,

in which one of the tunics brought to Ugarit was sold for silver, and likewise a tunic was sent to Ḫattuša (presumably from Ugarit) in exchange for two boys.

Commentary obv. 1 For discussion of conflicting transliterations of this line (HIT [p. 154]: URU-LUM vs. HVP [p. 127] ṢÚ-LUM), see Lexical Commentary, s.v. URU ‘mural crown’. Mural crowns were worn by both queens and goddesses, especially those were divine representations of a city. It is unclear whether the crowns in obv. 1 here were meant for human use, or as votive objects for the divine. 2 See Waal 2017a, 76 for interpretation of šarā eš-/aš- as ‘to be complete/ to be completely present’, against šarā eš-/aš- ‘to remain at hand’ (CHD Š s.v. šarā B 3b [p. 226]). 6 For another example in the PTAC of 1-ŠU/-ŠÚ ‘once’ seemingly used as a cardinal number, see 9.1.5 rev.! 13ʹ. 10 Contra HVP (p. 126): k]i!-i ḫu-u-ma-an, the alleged ki- ends in two low Winkelhaken with traces of two verticals in the break, and the -i is clearly a -TUM. If an emendation is to be made, this line could possibly be read: [ki-i] ⸢Ú-NU !⸣-TUM ḫu-u-ma-an fwa-aš-ti-iš [da-a-aš] “All [this] equipment Wašti [took].” lo. e. 16 Regarding TÚG!, it seems the scribe placed the vertical of the sign and then the horizontals were either forgotten or only very lightly impressed (and subsequently lost to abrasion). rev. 20 Given the mention of the É NA₄KIŠIB in the preceding line and the unknown and presumably non-royal status of the other individuals mentioned in the text, Talmiteššub here in rev. 20 is probably to be identified the with treasury worker (LÚŠÀ.TAM) known from KUB 31.62 obv. i 3, 8 (Bilgin 2018, 239), and not with the GAL KARTAPPI official or king of Karkamiš of the same name (ibid. 238–39). 21 For the existence of a Northern Syrian personal name Tulpaḫai (Tulpaʾi), compare mta-gu-mu DUMU túl-pa-ḫa-i in the Alalaḫ ration list ATT/8/63, obv. 2 (= AT no. 286, handcopy Wiseman 1954, 24; edition Wiseman 1959, 50). It is not possible to read mtúl-pa-⸢ḫa⸣-i here in 1.5 rev. 21, but if it is assumed the ḫa- of the Alalaḫ text represented some variety of glottal articulation, then a reading mtúl-pa-⸢aḫ⸣-i is quite plausible based on the traces. In any case, there are no other names to my knowledge in the cuneiform corpus of the late 2nd millennium beginning with TÚL-pa-. 24 The beginnings of a ŠU-sign are visible at the end of the line. A restoration Š[U(?) m… “Tru[st(?) of m…” would make sense in the context of luxury goods being taken out of the palace for the purpose of official business (in this case apparently for exchange or sale of some garments in Ugarit). 25 The traces of the handcopy and photo and the 20 shekels of silver in the following line make a restoration involving ŠÀM ‘sales price; to buy’ highly likely. The context demands a meaning ‘to sell’, thus the suggested restoration here of Š[ÀM-an da-a-er(?) “they took (its) sales price,” in analogy to ŠÀM-an pēšta “he gave (its) sales price” in 1.2 obv. 1ʹ.

Previous Edition(s):

A = Bo 4955 B = Bo 2008a A = KUB 42.18 B = KUB 42.20 241.I (Ḫattuša) NH A = A two-column tablet written in a dense script with no space before paragraph lines and a broad intercolumnium. B = A one-column tablet(?) written in a neat script with no space before paragraph lines. HIT, 29–31. HVP, 48–52 (2.1.3.A, 2.1.3.B)

Contents A list of containers with contents consisting mostly of precious stones and metals. Analysis The duplicates 2.1.A and 2.1.B represent the very first step of unpacking and inventorying incoming containers. The one- and two-columned format of the tablets confirms their preliminary nature. There are no differences between the copies insofar as they are preserved, so that it seems the contents of the single-column B was transferred verbatim to the two-column A. The discrepancy in length leads to the assumption that other preliminary intake records were combined to form A. In contrast to inventories from later in the intake process, little to no attempt is made in 2.1.A and 2.1.B to enumerate the contents. Rather, a generic description of the materials of the objects are given. What objects are enumerated, e.g., the QĀPU of A obv. ii(?) 4ʹ, are single items. This gives the impression of a first inventory that records only information that can be gathered at a glance from inside the chest. 2.1.A obv. ii(?) 13ʹ//2.1.B 4ʹ and 2.1.B 8ʹ–10ʹ provide the additional detail that some of the items were tribute or gifts. This confirms that the chests had just arrived into the administrative control of the institutional author, since the objects had not yet been absorbed into the mostly anonymous system of luxury goods documented by the PTAC

2.2 VSNF 12.116 A Preliminary Inventory of Chests Containing Incoming Gifts, Followed by Comments of Distribution to the Smiths Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

VAT 16429 VSNF 12.116 241.I (Ḫattuša) LNH A neatly written, one-column tablet with minimal spacing before paragraph lines and script size becoming progressively smaller towards end of tablet. Groddek et al. 2002, 167–68 (translit. only)

Contents A list of containers with contents described in variable levels of detail and occasional comment on destination of objects. Analysis 2.2 is closely related to 2.1.B. Were 2.2 an indirect join, it would follow with only a small gap from where 2.1.B breaks off. However, the hands of the two tablets are just different enough to raise doubt, though it must be admitted that the handwriting of 2.2 is highly variable, even within the small fragment. As with 2.1, only the grossest details of the contents of the containers are recorded in 2.2. Notable is the fact that the gold gifts in obv. 3ʹ–4ʹ are again “cleared out” (ūnḫ-). Was gold too valuable to remain in even temporary storage? The most significant feature of 2.2 is the fact that paragraphs rev. 6–9 and 10–13 are duplicated in a pair of texts from the manufacturing genre: 4.1.1.1.A₁ rev. 3ʹ– 9ʹ//4.1.1.1.B₁ obv. ii 7ʹ–18ʹ. These duplicated paragraphs are considerably different from the rest of 2.2, being not only much more detailed, but also written in a smaller script. Moreover, the objects detailed in the paragraphs are not described as being inside any containers. The insertion from 4.1.1.1 ends with a poorly drawn, double paragraph line appearing after an erasure. The final duplicated line in 2.2 rev. 12 finishes with an unparalleled quadruple Glossenkeil (represented here in the edition here by two consecutive double Glossenkeile 𒑱𒑱). The text continues after the double paragraph line with further detailed entries written again in a normal-sized script. It is difficult to interpret what the intertextuality between 2.2 and 4.1.1.1 indicates. At the very least, the near word-for-word duplication of the paragraphs in 2.2 and 4.1.1.1 implies that the scribes of the intake inventories and the scribes of the manufacturing texts had access to each other’s tablets, or were in fact the same persons. In terms of administrative order, the duplicated paragraphs in 2.2 represent a retrojection of a later administrative step into otherwise earlier text genre. It is significant that the

final two lines before the interjection and change in script, namely rev. 4 and 5, anticipate and summarize the contents of the inserted paragraphs: rev. 4 notes that a number of cups are sent to the smiths, while rev. 6–9 describes in detail theriomorphic figures, which are probably also drinking vessels based on “30 GÍN KÙ.BABBAR=ma ANA BI-IB-RI ḪI.A …” in rev. 10 (the contrastive -a/-ma indicates a continuation in topic but change in focus, meaning the BIBRU). Likewise, rev. 5 notes that a quantity of silver is missing, while paragraph rev. 10–13 also describes missing silver. Thus, the change in script and style of the inserted paragraphs mark an administrative rupture: The scribe first documented two groups of items, namely the cups and the silver intended for their repair, in the curt style of the other preliminary inventories. Then, realizing more documentation was needed, he went back – possibly at a later time, judging by the change in script – and retroactively documented the next step in the administrative chain for these items. The posteriority of the inserted paragraphs is confirmed by the comment [k]arū kangan “already weighed” in rev. 9, since comparison of 2.2 and 4.1.1.1 reveals that one of the tasks between the initial intake and the distribution to smiths was a careful weighing the objects (cf. introductory Analysis to 4.1.1.1; note also that none of the other objects in 2.2 have yet been weighed). It must be assumed that the removal of the cups and silver to the smiths of the (Great) Hall in Ḫattuša, and thus presumably outside of the immediate administrative control of wherever the text was written in, spurred a need for an accelerated accounting of these objects in what was otherwise a preliminary inventory.

Commentary obv. 3ʹ The restoration of ar-ḫa(?) before ūnḫ- depends on whether the verb follows 2.5 rev. 10ʹ (with preverb) or 2.1.B 9ʹ (without preverb). 4ʹ See Zehner 2010, 316–17 for the other attestations of fZamuwatti, a palace woman who was apparently appeared by name in a dream of Queen Puduḫepa. obv. 6ʹ While the understanding of relative clauses is in flux (see new literature in Melchert 2017, 34–35 = GHL Add. and Corr. to pp. 423–26, §§30.58– 30.64), the example in obv. 6ʹ here would seem to be a classic example of what was known as a “determinate” relative clause, in which the objects in question (here the chests of silver, specifically the ones that are yellow) are an established topic. While normally the relative pronoun occupies second position in such cases, i.e., immediately after the first accented element of the sentence, sometimes more than one accented element can come in front. Here, the -ma conjunction indicates that KÙ.BABBAR is the first accented element of the clause. The Hittite word underlying KÙ.BABBAR can be assumed to be in genitive, meaning that it should precede the head noun, GIPISANMEŠ, in normal Hittite syntax. Due to interference from Sumerographic word order in which genitives follow their head noun, GI PISANMEŠ graphically comes first in the sentence. The question becomes where to restore the Hittite word underlying GIPISANMEŠ in the original Hittite sentence: One would expect *ḫargantaš(vel sim.)=ma tuppa kue … , but the rule proposed by Sideltsev – Molina 2015, 236 dictates that the relative pronoun should appear in second position immediately following the ‑ma: thus, *ḫargantaš=ma kue tuppa … . This reconstruction leads to an infelicitous scenario where a relative pronoun splits the genitival construction. Whether this is possible, and how relative pronouns interact with Sumerographic word order, remains for the moment unanswered: cf. the same construction in ARAD mŠaparta=ya=kan kuin INA KUR URUGašga

parā neḫḫun (HKM 66 obv. 20–21), cited without elucidation or comment by Sideltsev – Molina (op. cit., 234). Per HZL no. 339 (p. 262), the only container described as “long” in the Hittite corpus is GIŠBUGIN (= LAGAB×A), a “trough” for liquids. Since a trough seems unlikely here, perhaps GIŠBÚGIN (= LAGAB×NINDA), a troughlike box or coffer, should be read instead, since BUGIN and BÚGIN are sometimes confused (HZL no. 55 [p. 118]). The aberrant writing of KUR kar!-Ddu-⸢ni⸣-a[š shows a graphic haplography, where the KUR was reused by the scribe as the start of the sign kar!(TE.A), which appears written here beginning with three Winkelhaken instead of the expected four (cf. TE-signs in rev. 6, 7). Per the discussion s.v. Éḫalentūwa- in the Lexical Commentary, it is assumed that when Éḫalentūwa- is mentioned without further specification, it is in fact “the hall,” i.e., the Great Hall of the palace at Ḫattuša. For the double local particles -kan, see Neu 1993, 141–42 and GHL §28.44 (p. 365). Here, the -kan in the clitic chain is conditioned by the separative sense of arḫa dā-, while the -kan of URUḫadduši=kan reflects the locational sense of the nominal phrase beginning with ŠÀ. Because 2.2 is otherwise a preliminary inventory, it is assumed that cups and silver have been dispatched to the smiths, but not yet remanufactured. Therefore, the verb should be present-future instead of past, and the karū EGIR-[an] uter of 4.1.1.1.A₁ rev. 6ʹ omitted. The traces for ⸢ḪAR⸣ḪI.A ‘rings’ might also be read ⸢KUR⸣ḪI.A ‘mountains’ in this context of precious metal religious paraphernalia/votive objects. The four diagonal wedges, interpreted here as a Glossenkeil, recall the three Glossenkeil in 8.1.A obv. ii 5ʹ and 6ʹ. It must be no coincidence thatthese Glossenkeil occur exactly where 2.2 and 4.1.1.1 again diverge.

The entire line is erased, leaving on the traces of the first sign partially visible. A restoration *〈〈k[i?]-〉〉* is perhaps fanciful, but a sentence beginning “Th[is]/Th[ese] … ,” with further comment on the unusual administrative situation that led to the duplication of the preceding two paragraphs between texts of two different genres (see again introductory Analysis), would not be unexpected.

Contents Description of zoomorphic figurines with some connection to Egypt. Analysis The description of animals figurines as 4 aranza “standing on all fours” and the mention of foreign countries suggests a connection to either 2.2 or 4.1.1.1, the only other texts in the PTAC to use the participle arant- (both texts also mention foreign countries). While not probative, the younger form of the KÙ in 2.3 is a better match for 2.2, which mixes the young and old forms, rather than 4.1.1.1, both copies of which use exclusively the older form. 2.3 could belong to the upper right corner of the obverse of 2.2, but no join direct join is visible. The categorization of 2.3 among the intake records is entirely contingent on a join with 2.2, and is otherwise uncertain. Transliteration obv. 1 2 3 4

Of the restorations available from these two signs, a GIŠDUB.ŠEN, being a sort of lidded box associated with expensive items and treasures (see Lexical Commentary), seems more likely than a utilitarian URUDUŠEN ‘copper kettle’ (HVP, 432: A]LAL).

2.4 Bo 5402 Fragment of an Inventory(?)/Account(?), with Commentary Involving the Queen and the Chief of Scribes (Join to 2.2?) Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 5402 — 241.I (Ḫattuša) NH A small fragment from the lower right corner of a tablet reverse. —

Contents A list mentioning aḫḫuwatar- ‘rings(?)’, an ivory chest, carnelian, and silver, followed by a brief commentary involving the chief of the scribes and the queen. Analysis The mention of Walwaziti and the queen in 2.4 closely resembles 4.1.1.1.A₁ rev. 15ʹ– 17ʹ//4.1.1.1.B₁ rev. iii? 9ʹ–13ʹ. However, the cursive script and use younger KÙ in 2.4 prohibit a join with either copy of 4.1.1.1. Instead, a join to 2.2 might be proposed, with 2.4 forming the lower right-hand corner of the tablet. This would admittedly mean that the proposed join of 2.2 and 2.3 would have to be rejected, since a sandwich join between 2.4 and 2.3 seems impossible based on the photos. The other possibility is to take 2.4 as a duplicate to a lost portion of 2.2. This is not as unlikely as it seems, since 4.1.1.1, which records some of the same events as 2.2, is itself present in two copies.

2.5 KBo 18.180 A Preliminary Inventory of Incoming Chests, with Involvement of the Queen, Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

35/l KBo 18.180 241.I Büyükkale D (Room 11, o/12) NH Fragment of a large, single-column tablet that turns on its vertical axis. HIT, 62–63. HVP, 87–89 (2.2.1.2)

Contents Obv. contains a preliminary inventory of chests with superficial notes on their contents. Rev. lists disparate items, including ivory, linens, bows, and musical instruments. Analysis As HVP (p. 30, fn. 3) noted, 2.5 is one of two inventories, along with 2.7.A, that gives the impression of a regular stock-taking, but with additional details and interest in the further manipulations of the objects. According to HVP’s classification system, this would have placed the text on the border of the systematische Inventuren and the shorter Inventurprotokolle verbunden mit einer Ermittlung. For present purposes of classification, however, the appearance of the phrase arḫa ūnuḫda “he/she cleared out” in the colophon-like statement at the end of the 2.5 rev. firmly situates the text at the beginning of the intake and unpacking process (cf. ūnḫ- in 2.1.B 9ʹ and arḫa(?) ūnḫ- in 2.2 obv. 4ʹ), confirming that it constitutes a preliminary inventory. The direct speech in 2.5 obv. 3ʹ–4ʹ apparently forbidding that a chest be opened before it reaches(?) the queen recalls the involvement of the queen in 2.7.A obv. 12–15, where she pulls a chest containing tribute from Amurru from the normal intake-inventorying process. It seems, then, that the queen could intervene at the arrival of caravans to the storehouses, perhaps in order to select specific items or shipments for immediate royal use. Although 2.5 is one of the very few tablets turned around its vertical axis, i.e., the reverse of tablet is upside-down compared to normal text orientation of reverse on Hittite tablets. As Waal 2015, 77 noted, this arrangement should indicate the obv. and rev. are unrelated. However, the two sides of 2.5 are thematically similar, both sides involving the administrative processing of chests and containers. Thus, the distinction in 2.5 was perhaps one of administrative acts separated by time rather than type, perhaps being two consecutive inventory processes conducted at the same location.

Commentary rev. 2ʹ In contrast to the more general SIG₅ ‘good’, DÙG.GA ‘fine, good, sweet’ coordinates with a restricted set of lexemes in Hittite, usually only kinship terms (AMA, ŠEŠ, DUMU) and certain substances (GI.DÙG.GA, GEŠTIN DÙG.GA, Ì DÙG.GA). One might therefore guess that a container for fine oil should be restored here.

Contents An inventory of chests, without enumeration of contents, containing luxury goods(?) from foreign countries. Analysis If 2.6 is not an indirect join to 2.5, then the format of the two texts are at least very similar. The brevity of the paragraphs, lack of enumeration, and the use of anda in the final line show that 2.6 belongs to the same administrative stage, where incoming chests are briefly checked, but not inventoried.

Commentary 1ʹ Though it may seem overbold to restore Aḫḫiyawa here, the traces, available space, and context of unpacking chests (if a join to 2.5: see introductory Analysis) match perfectly. If the traces were to have suggested another foreign land such as Egypt, the restoration of that land would have been all but certain – it is only the rarity of objects from Aḫḫiyawa in the PTAC that gives one pause. A restoration [n GAM-an t]i-⸢ia-u⸣-wa-za(-)[ is theoretically possible, but the traces of the remaining Winkelhaken are to low for a normal t]i-, and the available space would be a bit cramped.

A = Bo 10402 B = Bo 5330 A = IBoT 1.31 B = KUB 42.65 rev.? A = 241.I B = 250 (Ḫattuša) NH A = A single-column tablet with space before paragraph lines and large amounts of uninscribed space on rev.

Contents A list containers with brief notes on contents and occasional commentary on inventory status. 2.7.A rev. concerns the manufacture and storage of various objects. Analysis As HVP (p. 30, fn. 3) noted, 2.7 is one of two inventories, along with 2.5, that give the impression of a regular stock-taking, but with additional details and interest in the further manipulations of the objects. In this instance, the classification of HVP of 2.7 among the more preliminary Inventurprotokolle verbunden mit einer Ermittlung was perceptive: the highly variable amount of detail devoted to each chest, the involvement of the queen, and the change of subject matter on the tablet reverse places the text among the first layers of documentation of items entering inventory – a situation that makes most sense with incoming shipments of chests. However, a point of disagreement may be raised against the assessment of HVP (p. 76) that this inventory “geht … auf der Grundlage des Vergleiches von vorherigen schriftlichen Aufzeichnungen mit dem vorgefundenen Zustand vor sich.” Rather, 2.7 represents the creation and first entry of a textual record into the palace–temple administration. The GIŠ.ḪUR-schedules, which came with some of the chests probably originated with the sending authorities: their presence is noted when available, but their contents are not consulted within the framework of 2.7, and certainly not used as a control for the inventorying process.

The significant contributions of 2.7 towards understanding Hittite record management are discussed in the Lex. Comm. to ḫatiwitai-. The main point discussed there is that ḫatiwitai- ‘to inventory’, and its coordinate phrase (within the context of administration) tuppi- aniya- ‘to make a tablet’, have the specific meaning of officially enrolling objects into the palace-temple administration through the use of clay tablets. Based on 2.7.A obv. 12–15, and on a new analysis of 2.7.A obv. 4–11 (see Commentary to lines 8–15 below), it may be seen that the existence of a GIŠ.ḪUR did not obviate the need for inventorying (ḫatiwitanzi, A obv. 11) or recording by tablet (tuppiaz aniyanzi, A obv. 14–15). The A obv. 4–11 also reveals that the act of recording a list of items on a clay tablet was, by itself, insufficient to create inventory. It is argued instead that a combination of detailed recording and specific format, combined with at least some level of higher administrative supervision, was necessary. Thus, the pattern of 2.7 that the phrase “(they have) not (yet) inventoried” (UL/nāwi ḫatiwitān, B rev. 4ʹ; nāwi ḫatiwitanzi, A obv. 11; nāwi ḫatiwitān, A obv. 18; UL ḫatiwitān, A obv. 24) is applied to those chests that have also had their contents described in detail is not coincidental: the scribe is indicating with this phrase that, despite the listing of these objects on a clay tablet, he – or his supervisor – did not yet consider them properly entered into the administrative records. Concerning the editorial relationship between 2.7.A and 2.7.B, it may be seen that B ends exactly where the intervention of the queen in A begins. That this intervention is introduced by “later” (EGIR-anda) indicates that a period of time had elapsed between the composition of the two texts. It is unlikely that the description of the queen’s involvement was continued in B on a second tablet: The equivalent lineation of A and B, and the single end line visible at the end of B means that the tablet was probably singlecolumned (Waal 2015, 113), and thus a poor candidate for belonging to a tablet series. Furthermore, the list of wool and recipients on the obverse of 2.7.B (edited as 4.1.3.5.A₁) lacks the vertical dividing line dividing observed in the duplicate 4.1.3.4.A₁, which, with Waal 2015, 97, confirms that 4.1.3.5 was the earlier draft. Therefore, the tablet on which 2.7.B and 4.1.3.5.A₁ were written was used twice: first for notes on some wool allotments (4.1.3.5.A₁), and second for a preliminary inventory of chests (2.7.B). Thus, the contents of the tablet 4.1.3.5.A₁/2.7.B represent an accidental arrangement, and not the thematic selection implied by a Sammeltafel. When the queen added more objects at a later date to the final chest recorded in 2.7.B, a new tablet, 2.7.A, was begun, starting with the copying of the relevant text from the “scrap” tablet of 2.7.B. That 2.7.A was also a temporary tablet is confirmed by the change of format and contents on its reverse: whereas all of the items (save the last) on the obv. of 2.7.A have containers, none have such on the reverse. Instead, after four lines of uninscribed space, the reverse begins with a text concerning the manufacture of objects, smelting of precious metals, storage of copper objects, and washing of textiles. There is no apparent relation of these actions to the contexts of the 2.7.A obv.; and so it seems the fate of 2.7 was to be itself reused as a “scrap” tablet. The presence of the queen looms large in 2.7. Regarding the queen’s activities in the text, Siegelová 2015, 243–44 wrote:

Die Königin, die die Kontrolle persönlich vornimmt, verzeichnet noch verschiedene Kleidungsstücke und fügt der Kollektion bunte Tücher und Leinen hinzu. Zum Schluss lässt sie vermerken, dass dieser Behälter noch nicht inventarisiert wurde. Die nächste Eintragung hält fest: „Ein großer, roter Behälter, (mit) Löwenfüßen. Steuer der Stadt Ankuwa; eine (An)zahl Kleider, auf einer Holztafel notiert. Die Königin dazu: ‚Wenn ich (es) im Schatzhaus deponiere, wird man es auf einer Tontafel festlegen.‘“ Es wird deutlich: Die Königin befindet sich in eigenem Magazin – möglicherweise einem „Haus der Gerätschaften der Königin“ – und kontrolliert selbst ihre Bestände, frei von den offiziellen Aufsehern, findet auch andere nicht inventarisierte Posten, darunter Rhyta, wertvolle Kleiderkollektionen.

Although one can stand in general agreement with the administrative latitude afforded to the queen, it must be contested that the queen herself “verzeichnet noch verschiedene Kleidungsstücke.” Writing, including the broader sense of choosing how the inventory should be composed, was, after all, still the competency of the scribe! A more straightforward interpretation is that the queen, who is or was at some point physically present at the scene of the tablet’s recording, had added in additional materials to the chest. As discussed under the philological Commentary to 8–15 below, the later addition of these objects meant that they were recorded neither on the GIŠ.ḪUR-schedule that came with the chest nor the earlier draft represented by 2.7.B, and thus required a fresh tablet with a separate note. Likewise, the queen’s intervention in the subsequent paragraph, A obv. 12–15, seems also to have delayed the final accounting of the chest’s contents, which would only be accomplished after she had finished her business with the chest and delivered it to the storehouse. Thus, instead of the queen as an archadministrator, 2.7 reveals her exercising her royal prerogative to add, and presumably subtract, items from chests of incoming tribute before they were put up for long-term storage (see also introductory Analysis to 2.5). Finally, as already noted by HVP (p. 76), the comment in A obv. 14 that final tablet will be made when the chest reaches the storehouse (É NA₄KIŠIB) reveals that the administrative act recorded by 2.7 took place outside of the storehouse. As will be seen, the fact that the chests have not yet reached the storehouse makes 2.7 the opposing administrative counterpart of 2.9, a text which constitutes a preliminary inventory of chest being retrieved from the storehouse.

Commentary 6 Regarding the syntax of IGI.DU₈.A ŠA KUR A-MUR-RI=kan, since Goetze 1956, 33 the particle -kan has been taken as evidence for a clausal boundary before the ŠA (HIT, 5; HVP, 81; Vigo 2010, 291 fn. 17; Siegelová 2015, 243). Compare, however, 3.1.1.A₃ obv. iii 5ʹ–7ʹ (see edition for further commentary): 5ʹ 4 TA-PAL URUDUšur-zi-ia MAN-TA-TI 8 MA. NA URUDU IGI.DU₈.A 6ʹ 9 TA-PAL URUDUšur-zi MAN-TA-TI-ma-kán 7ʹ A-NA KUŠKIR₄.TAB.ANŠE an-da 2 TA-PAL URUDUšur-zi IGI.DU₈A 4 pairs of copper snaffle bits of tribute, 8 minas of copper, gift. But the tribute’s 9 pairs of copper snaffle bits are in halters. 2 pairs of copper snaffle bits, gift.

The pattern of 3.1.1.A₃ is to list a number of items, of which the larger number are MADDATTU and the smaller number IGI.DU₈.A (e.g., 3.1.1.A₃ rev. iv 8ʹ–9ʹ: 1 LI-IM 8 ME GIGAG.TAG.GA [MAN-TA-DU] 9ʹ 50 GIGAG.TAG.GA IGI.DU₈.A). In 3.1.1.A₃ obv. iii 5ʹ, it is clear the clause boundary falls between 4 TA-PAL URUDUšurziya MAN-TA-TI and 8 MA.NA URUDU IGI.DU₈.A: “4 pair copper snaffle bits of tribute, 8 minas copper gift.” If the following lines are held to be analogous, then 9 TA-PAL URUDUšurzi MAN-TA-TI=ma=kan A-NA KUŠKIR₄.TAB.ANŠE anda must also be taken as a single clause. The graphically delayed clitic chain appended to MAN-TA-TI in these lines can be explained by the differences between the heterographic writing and the underlying Hittite: 9 TA-PAL URUDUšurzi MAN-TA-TI is the appropriate

word order in Akkadian, where genitives follow their head nouns. But in normal Hittite syntax, the Hittite genitive underlying MAN-TA-TI precedes the head noun and, as the first word in the clause, therefore hosted the clitic chain. Confusion of word order in Hittite genitive constructions with heterographs is attested elsewhere (see comments of Weeden 2011, 351). Usually it is Hittite word order that wins out, e.g., in the amply attested pattern ŠA + AKKADOGRAM + (HITTITE) HEAD NOUN, but see Kudrinski 2016, 164–73, for his discussion of clitic placement in heterographic sequences, especially his conclusions (171–73) that heterographic sequences sometimes show linguistic interference from the other direction, i.e., following Sumerian and Akkadian word order. The observation that 3.1.1.A₃ obv. iii 6ʹ: 9 TA-PAL URUDUšurzi MAN-TATI=ma=kan was actually *MAN-TA-TI=ma=kan 9 TA-PAL URUDUšurzi can be applied to 2.7.A obv. 2, where IGI.DU₈.A ŠA KUR A-MUR-RI=kan “gift of Amurru” had the order *ŠA KUR A-MUR-RI=kan IGI.DU₈.A “Amurru’s gift” in the underlying Hittite. Thus pace the arguments of previous interpretation, the IGI.DU₈.A and the toponym go together. Such a reading makes more sense, especially since otherwise the chest in 2.7.A obv. 2 would be the only container in the text to omit the origin of the container’s tribute. For the syntax of IŠTU GIŠ.ḪUR, Waal 2011, 29 preferred to read IŠTU as indicating a local ablative, meaning the (in Waal’s opinion, hieroglyphic)

writing was drawn on the surface of the wooden tablet with ink. However, van den Hout 2016, 429–33 found that in all cases of the construction “tuppiyaz (abl.) iya-/aniya-/ḫatrae-/GUL-š- ‘to write etc. (something) by means of/using a tablet’,” the instrumental sense of “written via a tablet” was appropriate, while the local sense “written on a tablet” worked in only a few cases. Hence, 2.7.A obv. 3 will translated “(contents) marked down by a GIŠ.ḪUR-schedule.” Regarding linens from Amurru and Alašiya/Cyprus, Vigo 2010, 291–93 noted that while there is insufficient evidence to determine whether Amurru produced or processed linen, or merely served as an entrepôt for linen products from Egypt, Cyprus clearly possessed a linen industry built on the importation of raw linen from Egypt, which was then finished and dyed for further export. Vigo (loc. cit.) recommended that “[t]he expression GADA URUAlašiya documented in the Hittite inventory texts can therefore be translated as ‘Cypriot linen’, in the sense of: ‘crafted in the “Alašiyan” way’.” Previous translations of 2.7.A obv. 4 (HIT, 6; HVP, 81; Vigo 2010, 291 fn. 17; Siegelová 2015, 243) read EGIR-anda as ‘(Eng.) furthermore, (Ger.) weiter’. However, nowhere in the entry of HW2 s.v. appa, a-ap-pa = (jheth.) EGIR-pa (p. 148), which comprises EGIR-anda (p. 149), nor in any subsequent dictionary, is this particular use of EGIR-anda acknowledged. Instead, EGIR-anda seems to be restricted to two meanings: a free-standing temporal adverb ‘afterwards, later’, and a local adverb ‘behind’. While the presence of the sentence particle =kan in EGIR-anda=ya=kan makes a local interpretation attractive, there is no apparent noun with which the adverb collaborates, and it is also not semantically clear what the items in the chest could be behind. Instead, EGIR-anda is better read here in its temporal sense, ‘later,’ with the local particle =kan serving a different syntactic function. There are then two possibilities. The first option is to connect the =kan with the preverb + verb combination anda dāiš “(the queen) placed in” in A obv. 11, which is lacking its expected local sentence particle. This would make the entire list of items in A obv. 4–11 a single sentence documenting the contribution of the queen: “And later … items x, y, and z … the queen put in.” The one objection to this interpretation, namely that the clause-linking conjunction -ma in obv. 10 should indicate the start of a new clause, is moot if it is interpreted as a phonetic complement to KEŠDA (see Commentary to lines 14–15 below). The other interpretation is to read obv. 4 as a gapping construction dependent on A obv. 2–3: “A gift payment of Amurru (consisting of) linens (are) inside … And later (are also inside): items x, y, z … ,” where the =kan of obv. 4 has the same local function as the =kan of obv. 2, i.e., coordinating with an (in this case implied) anda. In both interpretations, whether A obv. 4–11 is a single sentence or not, the temporal sense ‘later’ is due to the actions of

the queen, who added the entire bundle of items to the chest (not, contra HIT, 6 and HVP, 81, just the items of A obv. 10). The form ḫur-ri-ia is a problem. HVP, 80–81 read ḪUR-RI “Hurrian” plus the coordinating conjunction -a/-ya: “1 lederner Sattelsack und Samen des ḫurritischen Ebenus.” However, there is no obvious reason for a coordinating conjunction to appear in the middle of an otherwise continuous list. In addition, one would also expect the ebony seeds to come in a container, and correspondingly, for the bag immediately preceding the seeds to have contents (cf. KUŠA.GÁ.LÁ-bag in obv. 6, which must have the following garments as contents, otherwise there would be no reason to give a subtotal in obv. 7). One alternative is to read ḫur-ri-ia as a Hittite i-stem adjective in pl. nom.‐acc. (the normal form of which is ‑aya in the late language, but also rarely -iya; see pl. nom.‐acc. karūiliya in GHL §4.38, p. 96), but there already exists a Hittite adjective ḫurla- ‘Hurrian’. It is not clear whether both forms ḫurla- and **ḫurri- could have existed, or if the scribe had unconsciously ‘Hittitized’ an Akkadographic form. Another seeming option would be to emend ḪUR-RI-I ! in order to read an Akk. nisbe adjectival form, but then IBoT 1.31 obv. 5 would be a single attestation of **ḪURRĪ against the ample attestations of ḪURRI without the plene -i elsewhere in the Palace Administrative Corpus. With the difficulties with reading -ia as part of ḫurri-/ḪURRI, the option taken here is to emend the -ia as a scribal error, probably influenced by URUa-la-ši-ia, a geographic name ending in -ia, in the line and position immediately above. For KUŠA.GÁ.LÁ ta-ḫap-ši pittulaš, see CHD P s.v. (SÍG)pittula- “loop” (p. 365). Note, however, that taḫapši will be translated here as a material type following CAD s.v. taḫapšu (see Lex. Comm.), and not as ‘straps’, as CHD P (loc. cit.) did in its translation of 2.7.A obv. 6 following the older suggestions of Goetze 1955, 59 and Goetze 1959, 33. The name fAšpunawiya is interpreted as sg. dat. here: thus, “gift for Ašpunawiya.” While it is conceivable the name is in stem form, the declination of sg. gen. fYarawiaš in obv. 21 suggests otherwise. Of course, the dat. case with animate beings is ambiguous in Hittite and includes also the role of the abl. and inst., which may only be used with to inanimate objects. Thus SUM fAšpunawiya could in principle be interpreted as “gift from Ašpunawiya,” though a circumlocution using the genitive case might be expected if this were the intended meaning. In any event, there is no indication, contra HVP (p. 75), that the entire paragraph is a “gift for/from Ašpunawiya” – this would have been made clear with additional verbiage. Rather, the syntax of obv. 4–11: EGIR-anda … MUNUS.LUGAL anda dāiš reveals that SUM fAšpunawiya is a parenthetical statement, possibly uttered by the queen herself, pertaining perhaps only to the blue cap. For GADA eḫlipaki, see bibliography of Vigo 2010, 295. It is clear that in 2.7.A obv. 10, GADA eḫlipaki must refer to linen with the a color or visual quality of stone/glass, and not the material itself. Whereas Vigo (loc. cit.)

suggested “‘eḫlipaki stone (amethyst?) coloured linen’, meaning dyed in a shiny bright purple colour,” the exact identification of the eḫlipakku/ eḫlipak(k)i- is unknown (see Lexical Commentary). The phrase 1 GADA eḫlipaki KEŠDA-ma has received a variety of different translations. Goetze 1959, 32 fn. 2 treated KEŠDA-ma as a noun meaning ‘string’, and put it with the following line: thus, “the queen put a string around them (i.e., the garments) (bundled them together).” HIT, 6 interpreted KEŠDA as a participle, “knotted, with knots,” modifying 1 GADA eḫlipaki, and the ‑ma as the contrastive conjunction -a/-ma, translating: “while the queen put in 1 garment in the colour of ehlipakki-stone, with knots.” In contrast, HVP, 81 took KEŠDA-ma together as a participle meaning ‘bound, tied’, modifying the three preceding items: “2 grüne Tücher, 1 blaues Tuch, 1 e.-färbendes Leinen, gebunden, hat die Königin hinzugefügt.” HVP, 64 fn. 1 suggested in discussing the only other appearance of KEŠDA in inventory texts (1 GADA SU₆ LUGAL ⸢KEŠDA⸣, 4.2.4 obv. 1), that “KEŠDA … dürfte vielleicht eine spezielle Technik der Fadenverknüpfung wiedergeben (z.B. wirken, filieren, stricken o.ä.).” Such a technical term is a distinct possibility. As for the word underlying KEŠDA-ma, it cannot be, as Goetze appears to have assumed, a form of išḫima(n)‘string, rope’, because the common gender n-stem nominal paradigm contains no form **išḫima. More likely is a form ending with the C. Luwian participle -m(m)a/i- in nom.‐acc. pl., perhaps *ḫišḫiyam(m)a from the verb ḫišḫiya- ‘to bind’ (= Hitt. išḫai-/išḫiya-). As GHL §26.11 (p. 343) noted of constructions with nāwi ‘not yet’: “When the accompanying verb is present tense, it is translated with an English present perfect (‘has/have not yet …-ed’) … .” The ŠID sign can also be read SANGA, making the reading SANGA TÚG “priest garment” possible in principle, if a 〈LÚ〉 were emended (per Hoffner 2010, 138, the determinative-less SANGA is found only in OH). For tuppiaz aniya- ‘recorded by tablet’ (analogous construction to IŠTU GIŠ.ḪUR GUL-š-), see again van den Hout 2016, 429–33. With HIT (p. 6): “white and red (textiles)” (with comm. ibid., pp. 8–9), the phrase ḫarkiaš marušašaš is probably to be interpreted here as two genitives dependent on an unexpressed head noun. The interpretation of HVP (p. 83): “weisse m.” and CHD s.v. marušaš(a)- (p. 203): “of (i.e., containing) white m.” are less likely than the analysis of Rieken 1999, 195 fn. 908, which took marušašaš as Luwian adj. genitive. The objection of CHD (loc. cit.) of the awkwardness posed by the asyndeton of two color words and the lack of explicit noun admittedly still stands. It is not clear why MALÛ is in G stat. 3 pl. masc. here, since there are no plural items with which the verb can agree. Perhaps the number of chests or the verb is a mistake: cf. the expected G stat. 3 sg. masc. MA-LI in 2.7.A obv. 1.

2.8 Bo 9234 Fragment Mentioning a Chest(?) That Has Been ‘Inventoried’ (ḫatiwitān) Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 9234 — 241.I(?) (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from top edge of a tablet written in a small script with generous word and line spacing and no space before the preserved paragraph line. —

Contents A list of containers(?) with enumeration and detailed description of contents (votive objects?) and commentary on inventory status. Analysis The lack of context in 2.8 makes classification difficult. The fragment is placed here based solely on the participle ḫatiwitant- ‘inventoried’, which is otherwise encountered only in 2.7. The generic description of what is presumed to be contents of a chest, namely KÙ.BAB]BAR KÙ.SI₂₂ “sil]ver (and) gold,” recall the preliminary inventories, but the fact that the items are already inventoried places 2.8 later in the administrative process. In terms of contents, the presence of G]UB-za ‘standing’ ensures that a statue appeared at the beginning of obv., suggesting that the inscribed maces were votive objects rather than functional weapons. Since there is no mention of tribute, the wak]kari “mis]sing” in obv. 4 presumably describes the condition of the preceding item: perhaps pieces of the corselets were missing. Transliteration and translation to be provided following official publication.

Contents A list of chests with contents described in varying levels of detail and with occasional commentary on origins of the contents or administrative condition of the chests. Analysis Understanding of 2.9 hinges on its relationship to 2.12. Contra previous editions (HIT, 49–52; HVP 36–43), the text pair should not be treated as duplicates. The decisive difference between the texts, obscured in the previous editions, is that every paragraph in 2.9 ends with the phrase ŠÀ É NA₄KIŠIB 3 (GIŠ)SAG. KUL “In the storehouse. 3 bolts,” whereas those in 2.12 do not. The meaning of this phrase is not entirely transparent, since it only appears in two other texts, 2.10 and 2.11, at least one of which (2.10) is a possible indirect join to 2.9. But with HVP (pp. 33–34), it is probable that the (GIŠ)SAG.KUL are to be interpreted as bolts or bars locking the chests. The consistent absence of the locking bolts and the omission of the storehouse between 2.9 and 2.12, then, should not be treated as accidental: the text pair must record different stages of an administrative process. The interpretative crux becomes the order in which the texts are written. The scenario offered here is that the chests are in the process of being retrieved from longterm storage. The É NA₄KIŠIB as a final administrative step was encountered in 2.7. There, the queen informed the scribe that a full inventory would be made when the chest was finally delivered to the storehouse. However, the superficial description of most chests in 2.9 make the tablet a poor candidate for a final inventory before storage. Moreover, some chests in 2.9 are described as having missing GIŠ.ḪURparzakiš ‘bullas’ (A₃ obv. ii 5ʹ, 13ʹ), with no description of contents, which would hardly be acceptable for containers about to be locked away for good. In short, 2.9 is not a final inventory of the type

promised in 2.7. The text instead exhibits the features of a preliminary inventory, where the scribe recorded only the information he could gather from a glance inside the chest or at the attached documentation. The use of bullas instead of GIŠ.ḪUR, the presence of locking bolts, and the fact that some chests were sealed suggest that the chests were not recent enrollments into the storehouse. In fact, some seem to have languished long enough to that their initial documentation was lost! How long this period of storage lasted is uncertain, but a number of chests are described as MADDATTU (GIBIL) DUTU-ŠI=kan (MUNUS.LUGAL) kuwapi LUGAL-eznani ešat/ešantat “(New) tribute: when His Majesty (and the queen) had sat down in kingship.” It is almost certain, per HVP (pp. 34–35), that the king and queen in question are Ḫattušili III and Puduḫepa. However, it is not necessary that the text itself date to the beginning of their reign.

past, and hence should be translated as “at the time when …” + pluperfect. The use of this construction in 2.9.A₃ obv. ii 3ʹ–4ʹ//2.12 obv.! ii 7ʹ–8ʹ entails only that the “new tribute” (MADDATTU GIBIL) was new at the time of the enthronement ceremony, which took place an undisclosed amount of time prior to when the tablet was written (the topical past), and not that the tribute was new at the time of writing. Thus, a scenario may be imagined wherein a mass of tribute was received at the enthronement of the king and queen, probably significantly more than could be used or redistributed at once, and that some of the tribute had been sealed and put away for later use. The text pair 2.9 and 2.12 therefore document the retrieval of some of this tribute, along with other chests, from the storehouse. Objects collected as inthronization tribute could apparently retain their label even outside the chests: cf. 9.1.4.A₁ rev. iv 2ʹ–4ʹ, where a collection of rhyta at the end of an inventory are described as such.

In 4.1.1.1, the phrase referred to two individuals mentioned in the previous paragraph taking out another allotment of silver. The “separateness” of the event seems to be administrative, rather than temporal (one would expect an EGIR-anda ‘later’ for this). What administrative distinction was meant for A₂ obv. i 1ʹ and 3ʹ has been unfortunately lost in the break. 9ʹ Based on 2.7.A obv. 21, 22, one expects either a personal or geographical name after kīnāndaš ‘assortment’.

Restoration based on 2.12 obv. ii! 9ʹ. See discussion in the Lex. Comm. to However, if the phrase ŠÀ É NA₄KIŠIB 3 SAG.KUL indicates a final administrative step, then it is unlikely the chest would be sealed and deposited in the store house without its contents being checked, hence the (?) here. Contra HIT (p. 50), HVP (p. 42), the traces at the end of A₃ obv. ii 7ʹ in no way permit a reading SA₅ without emendation, which is unlikely, since the parallel passage in 2.12 obv.! ii 10ʹ does not describe the chest as “red.” Instead, the traces show a complete ú in its variant with four horizontals. The corresponding section of 2.12 obv.! ii 10ʹ–11ʹ is a miscellany of copper hand tools and horse tack, listed without enumeration and probably continuing in 12ʹ–13ʹ since the traces in these lines rule out a restoration of the “tribute formula” that ends each paragraph. The simplest way to maintain parallelism between 2.9 and 2.12 is to assume that in 2.9 the description of tools and horse tack remained at the generic, so that the (GIŠ.ḪUR)(𒀹)parzaki-.

items in A obv. ii 7ʹ were labeled UNŪT URUDU “copper implements” or similar (cf. UNŪT KUŠ(MEŠ) in “leather furnishings” in 10.3.14 l. c. 6ʹ, 8ʹ; a restoration UNŪT É NA₄KIŠIB “equipment of the storehouse,” based on 9.1.9 rev. iv 5ʹ is less likely, since the term there is used in the colophon to refer to the entire range of items, including gold figurines, inventoried in that text, and hence would be an unsuitably broad term to restore in 2.9). The fact that MAN-TA-DU here is not in status constructus leaves the syntactic relationship between MAN-TA-DU and É.GAL NA₄KIŠIB technically unexpressed. However, the fact that “houses,” i.e., palace institutions located in Ḫattuša, are attested as sources of tribute elsewhere in the PTAC (3.2.4 2ʹ: MAN-TA-AT É.[… ; 8.3 obv. 8ʹ: MA-AN-TA-AT ⸢É?⸣.[GAL karupaḫi(?)), combined with the fact that the phrase MAN-TA- DU URUa[n?-x-š]a-an in A₂/₃ obv. i 7ʹ – which can only be interpreted as the source of the tribute – also shows the same lack of status constructus, together suggest that the É.GAL NA₄ KIŠIB is the provider, and perhaps even original producuer, of the tribute here. The traces after LUGAL do not permit for expected -UT-TI (cf. 11.6.2 lf. e 2ʹ), but a reading K[Ù. is permissible. Since royal garments are usually embroidered/decorated with gold and not silver, a restoration K[Ù.SI₂₂ is preferred.

Analysis The presence of 3 GIŠSAG.KUL “3 bolts” at end of paragraph places 2.11 in the same category as 2.9 and 2.10. While the handwriting of 2.11 does not prohibit a join, being possibly the same hand as 2.9 and 2.10, the lack of a right-hand margin (as in 2.10 and possibly 2.9) and the more detailed enumeration of the items argue against one.

779/f KBo 18.179 241.I Büyükkale D (o–p/15–16) NH A fragment from a two-column tablet with a simple column divider between obv.! i and ii and a large uninscribed margin to right of obv.! ii. HIT, 49–52. HVP, 38–44 (2.1.1.B)

Contents A list of chests with contents described in varying levels of detail and with occasional commentary on origins of the contents or administrative condition of the chests. Analysis As was argued in the introductory Analysis to 2.9, the near-duplicate 2.12 records the same items found in 2.9 at a different administrative stage. The principle difference between the texts is the inclusion of the phrase ŠÀ É NA₄KIŠIB 3 (GIŠ)SAG.KUL “Inside the storehouse. 3 bolts” at the end of every paragraph in the former text. In 2.12, this phrase is absent. Since 2.9 has the appearance of a preliminary inventory, and since the chests themselves had incomplete documentation, it was argued that the text could not be the last step before the chests were put away for storage. Hence, it was proposed that 2.9 was the first step of retrieving chests from long-term storage in the storehouse, with 2.12 the same chests after they had been moved out of the storehouse and had their locking bolts removed. A further difference between the texts may be observed in 2.12 obv.! ii 10ʹ–13ʹ vis-à-vis its parallel 2.9.A₃ obv. ii 7ʹ–9ʹ. As discussed in the philological Commentary to 2.9.A₃ obv. ii 7ʹ, the traces do not permit a restoration there of the same miscellany of copper objects found in 2.12 obv.! ii 10ʹ–13ʹ. A superordinate term, Ú-[NUUT URUDU(?), was proposed for 2.9.A₃ obv. ii 7ʹ instead. The greater specificity in 2.12,

Commentary rev.? 4ʹ: The 3 is written before the beginning of the line in the left margin. In conjunction with the traces of written-over erasure, this is strong indication that it was written after the fact. It may be guessed that scribe wrote “3 TÚGE.SIR” (three cloth shoes), when he meant to write “3 TA. TÚGE.SIR” (three pairs of cloth shoes). Fortunately for the scribe, there was no need for erasure since the vertical wedges of the number 3 can be converted into a TA-sign with minimal effort. The scribe then reinserted the number 3 to the left of the line.

Analysis Whereas Taş 2017, 291 considered 2.14 to be a ‘Kultinventare’, 2.14 5ʹ–14ʹ is similar enough to 2.13 rev.? 1ʹ–7ʹ (items for men and women, Hattilian shoes, 7 aḫḫuwatar ‘rings(?)’) that the texts may be parallels. The difference in lineation suggests that 2.14 may have contained more detail than 2.13, unless the columns of 2.13 were much wider, perhaps reflecting a broad, single-column tablet. If 2.13 and 2.14 are not parallels, then it is possible that the texts describe a stereotyped set objects, perhaps an ensemble of ritual vestments and offertory paraphernalia. Either way, 2.14 should be reclassified as an inventory text. Based on the presence of the long-dead queen Nikalmati in 2.14 6ʹ, probably as a name inscribed on a statue, or perhaps as the donator of a votive object, and the mention of statues in 2.13 rev.? 9ʹ, the texts were perhaps inventories of items connected to the ancestor cult. Based on 2.13, the items had apparently been packed into chests.

Commentary 1ʹ The only object beginning GIŠḫu- in the PTAC is GIŠḫūpparalli-. However, a container in the middle or end of a line would be unexpected. 6ʹ The closest known relative of Nikalmati, the wife of Tudḫaliya I/II, ending in -šarruma would be Ašme-Šarruma, son of Arnuwanda I (KUB 11.7++ rev. 6), and hence her grandson. If restored here, the traces would demand a spelling maš-m]e-LUGAL-ma-aš. 12ʹ While the traces could support reading wa-ak-šu[r?, the vessel is nowhere attested in the PTAC without a preceding numeral. Instead, it seems that a gold object, perhaps one of the studs mentioned in 11ʹ, is missing.

2.16 KBo 18.176 A Three-column Digest(?) of Preliminary Inventories of Chests, Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

126/r KBo 18.176 241.I Büyükkale D (room 3, m–n/14) NH A fragment from the lower edge of a large, three-column tablet with simple column dividers. The ductus shows a very ornate hand, distinguished by the proliferation of superfluous wedges. HIT, 60–62. HVP, 45–49 (2.1.2)

Contents A list of containers with luxury contents, including a number of ivory boxes, described in more or less detail. Analysis 2.16 presents a conundrum: the three-column configuration of the tablet bespeaks a finished inventory, but the configuration wherein the containers appear at the beginnings of their paragraphs with an anda ‘inside’ at the end of the paragraph is found only in preliminary descriptions (cf. 2.7.A obv. 17, 18, 25; 4.2.1.A₁ obv. 8; 6.1 obv. 19) in which objects are only generically classified, often without enumeration. While most of the description in 2.16 can indeed be considered preliminary, 2.16 obv. i 6ʹ–10ʹ offers a detailed accounting of contents. The detail in this section may be due to the fact that the inventoried items are themselves containers, in this case ivory boxes, which straddle the boundary of container and luxury objects in their own right. The format seems to shift again in 2.16 rev. v, where items are enumerated (rev. v does not seem to be a full recapitulation of the contents of the whole tablet, but is perhaps a subtotal of a single chest). The variable level of detail and enumeration suggests that 2.16 represents the first digest of other preliminary records – some of which were more detailed than others – into a three-column omnibus tablet. The heterogeneity of format, level of detail, and contents suggests a group of chests which have perhaps just been received and not yet fully processed. As for the presence of towns and persons in 2.16 obv. ii, which HVP (p. 45) suggested documented the “Provenienz der Objekte bzw. die die Lieferungen entrichtenden Städte,” little further can be said. The arrangement of two geographic origins in one chest description paragraph in obv. ii 3ʹ–4ʹ (and 6ʹ–7ʹ, if the LUGAL KUR kar-g[a-miš is taken to imply the city of Karkamiš as well) is without parallel. Perhaps one names the origin of the objects, and the other the destination or location of an intended handout? HIT (p. 61) suggested a context of trade, but acknowledged that the poor state

Commentary obv. i 3ʹ There is not enough room to restore both KÙ.BABBAR and the beginning of a -kán in the break. Since silver is sometimes omitted after shekel denominations (cf. 1.2, passim), it is assumed the traces visible after the break are end of the -kán, with the KÙ.BABBAR either to be emended or implied. 6ʹ There appear to be the traces of a Winkelhaken preserved before the “1.” It is possible that the number was higher, i.e., “n+]11,” but the eleven ivory boxes in obv. i 8ʹ offers a matching number, and thus one may suspect there was one ivory KANḪANNU-boxes per yarammal(l)a-container. 9ʹ The combination NA₄NÍR ŠU.U “agate (and) basalt” may represent a single stone, since agate often forms as a nodule within volcanic rocks such as basalt.

Contents Chests containing gold and silver objects, next to ebony and ivory furniture and bows and arrows. Analysis 2.17 records a heterogenous mixture of items in chests, furniture, and weapons, comprising decorated bows, large number of arrows, and šālaštūri-. The level of description is highly variable: in obv.? r. c. 10ʹ–13ʹ the bows are enumerated individually or in small lots by the number gold inlays, whereas in obv.? r. c. 3ʹ, 4ʹ, the description of the chest contents are generic and reminiscent of a preliminary inventory. Adding to the impression of a preliminary inventory is the fact, already noted by HVP (pp. 490–91), that some of the items in chests in obv.? r. c. 6ʹ, 7ʹ may not have been actually present at the time of writing, but were “(to be) given afterwards/later.” The new join of KBo 69.331 also reveals the format of the tablet to be atypical, in that more than one chest is described in a single paragraph in obv.? r. c. 1ʹ–4ʹ. Thus, despite its multicolumn format, neatness of hand, and detailed description of some of the objects, the tablet appears to belong to an earlier phase of the administrative process – perhaps when records in uneven states of completeness were compiled for a first digest or overview. The closest comparison to 2.17 is 2.16, a three-column digest of preliminary inventories of chests filled with luxury items found at Büyükkale showing a similar, if less extreme, mixture of generic and detailed descriptions. The difference in purpose (2.16 exclusively records chests, some of which have geographic origins attached, suggesting an intake or disbursement scenario; 2.17 records unpacked furniture and large quantities of weapons in addition to chests, suggesting a stock-taking scenario) and findspots means that the texts should be taken as administrative analogues, rather than part of the same process.

number of quivers is read as 3 as with previous editions, a solution such as that proposed by Lorenz – Schrakamp 2011, 138, taking the “quivers” as storage containers for storing the arrows in the arsenal, must be considered. Otherwise, the number of quivers should be increased. The highest number permitted by the traces is 16 (the traces of a Winkelhaken could be imagined before the verticals, and a second rank of verticals could fit below the three preserved wedge heads). This would still mean between 58 and 59 arrows were stored in each quiver – almost twice as many as the Hurrian quivers (between 31 and 32 arrows) in 15ʹ – but at least a more manageable number: Taracha 2003–5, 459 noted an average

across Hittite texts of twenty to fifty arrows per bow/quiver. Caution should be used with this number, however, since Taracha did not distinguish between arrows listed next to a quiver in a list versus arrows explicitly stated as being stored in a quiver, as is the case here in 2.17 obv.? r. c. 14ʹ and 15ʹ. The only other text in the PTAC describing arrows stored in quivers, namely 9.1.5 rev.! 4ʹ and 6ʹ, is unfortunately broken at the crucial locations that would allow for calculating an average number of arrows per quiver.

DOMESTIC TRIBUTE 3.1 DOMESTIC TRIBUTE IN THE FORM OF METALS AND DURABLE GOODS 3.1.1 KUB 42.29(+)+ Record of Domestic Tribute in the Form of Chariots, Weapons, and Copper Implements, Organized by Storage Location and Deliverer Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

A₁ = Bo 1415 + 5146 A₂ = Bo 4871 A₃ = Bo 5437 + 6119 A₁ = KUB 42.29 A₂ = KUB 42.83 A₃ = KUB 42.28 + CHDS 4.25 244.I (Ḫattuša) NH A three-column tablet with broad intercolumnia, written in a dense script with occasional erasures and no space before paragraph lines. HVP, 141–58 (4.1.1.). Fuscagni 2007, 132–33 (Bo 6119, translit. only). Soysal, CHDS 4 (forth.) (Bo 6119, translit. only).

Contents List of domestic tribute in the form of weighed quantities of copper implements with notes on missing quantities, followed by chariots, wagons, and bows, organized into sections by palatial institution and deliverers. Analysis 3.1.1 is a large and complex list of tribute received from domestic sources distributed to various palatial institutions for use and/or storage. The structure of 3.1.1 consists of a series of main sections separated by double paragraph lines. Each main section begins with the name of an institution, followed immediately by the first tribute entry. For each main section in which the first paragraph is preserved (3.1.1.A₃ rev. iv 4ʹ–9ʹ; 3.1.1.A₁ rev. v 3ʹ–7ʹ; 3.1.1.A₁ rev. v 8ʹ–19ʹ), the first paragraph is thematically devoted to chariots and weapons (cf. 3.1.8 for another text with tribute of chariots and weapons

in addition to the usual copper implements). In a deviation from the normal arrangement of tribute lists, these first paragraph do not divide the names of the various sources with paragraph lines (3.1.1.A₃ rev. iv 6ʹ, 7ʹ; 3.1.1.A₁ rev. v 14ʹ, 19ʹ). Subsequent tribute entries concern copper items, and are organized in accordance with the normal organization scheme of tribute lists whereby all of the contributed goods from a single deliverer are exhausted in a single paragraph. Any shortfalls in the tribute are noted. In some instances, e.g., A₁ obv. ii 13ʹ–16ʹ, the shortfall was caused by the tribute items weighing less than their nominal amounts (100 axes weighing 199 minas and 12 shekels, instead of the expected 200 minas). In other instances, e.g., A₁ obv. ii 10ʹ–12ʹ, the shortfall was caused by a mistake on the part of the palace smiths, wherein a copper item was mistakenly broken down. After the MADDATTU ‘tribute’ is documented, any accompanying IGI.DU₈.A ‘gifts’ are listed, with the latter consisting of smaller numbers of the same type of objects as the tribute. As is discussed in the Lexical Commentary, s.v. IGI.DU₈.A, the “gifts” were probably semi-compulsory, and may have been predicated on a social context that is no longer available to us. Finally, each main section ends with the name of the receiving institution repeated, followed in at least one instance by QATI ‘finished’ ([É-TUM RA-B]U-Ú QA-T[I, 3.1.1.A₁ rev. v 7ʹ), and then a closing double paragraph line While there is no explicit indication in the text, it was reasonably assumed by HVP (pp. 143, 207) that the institutions bracketing the main sections were the recipients of, or at least long-term storage depots for, the tribute (see also concluding remarks in HVP, 560–61). The institutions preserved in 3.1.1 include: 3.1.1.A₃ rev. iv 3ʹ: É.GA[L; 3.1.1.A₃ rev. iv 4ʹ: É.GAL LÚSANGA; 3.1.1.A₁ rev. v 2ʹ: [É.G]AL URUḫa-a-ri-ia-ša; 3.1.1.A₁ rev. v 7ʹ: [É-TUM RA-B]U-Ú; and 3.1.1.A₂ rev. vi 2ʹ: É].GAL ḫé-kur DLAMMA. These institutions and the others mentioned in the tribute texts led HVP (p. 207) to conclude that: Bei diesen Einnahmestellen handelte es sich um Institutionen, die verschiedene Formen der staatlichen Verwaltung und der Kulteinrichtungen, auf zentraler wie auch regionaler Ebene, darstellten. Auf sie zielten wohl die Steuern aus den – wahrscheinlich durch Entscheidungen von längerer Gültigkeit – festgesetzten Bezirken direkt ab. Dabei ist bemerkenswert, dass die zentrale Administration auch dann eine detaillierte, zusammenfassende Buchhaltung führte, wenn die Lieferungen an verschiedene Stellen, auch ausserhalb von Ḫattuša, gingen.

However, the only institutions listed in the accompanying footnote (p. 207 fn. 1) demonstrating implicit regional connections are the [É.G]AL URUḪāriyaša (3.1.1.A₁ rev. v 2ʹ) and É.GAL URUŠa[pinuwa(?) (3.1.5.A₂ obv. ii(?) 10ʹ) (the regional divinities such as D UTU URUArinna and D10 URUŠapinuwa could have received their tribute at locations in Ḫattuša). As Siegelová (2001, 203–4) herself later discussed, the É.GAL URUḪāriyaša is one of the “regional” palaces that attested almost exclusively as an economic institution connected with the Ḫattuša. It is argued in the Lexical Commentary, s.v. É(.GAL) (URU)… that, expanding on the observations of Kryszeń 2016, 167 (discussing the É(.GAL) (URU)Takkiputta) and especially Bilgin 2018, 397 fn. 141 (discussing the É.GAL Šulupašši as it appears in 4.1.4.6 obv. 12ʹ), that most, if not all, of the “regional” palaces mentioned in late New Kingdom period texts were administrative offices physically located at Ḫattuša, which retained only a nominal connection to their eponymous towns. Thus,

3.1 Domestic Tribute in the Form of Metals and Durable Goods

the É.GAL URUḪāriyaša in 3.1.1, and with it all of the institutions in the text, were probably at Ḫattuša. The removal of the É.GAL URUḪāriyaša in 3.1.1 leaves the É.GAL URUŠa[pinuwa(?) (3.1.5.A₂ obv. ii(?) 10ʹ, if restored correctly) as the only regional institution mentioned in the entire PTAC for which the central authorities seem to exercise direct administrative control (as discussed in introductory Analysis to 8.1, the É.GAL URUḪupišna in 8.1.E(A₃) l. e. 1ʹ was a/the destination of the caravan, meaning that all of the administrative work represented by that text was conducted at Ḫattuša). One might even suspect that as the sole outlier, the É.GAL URUŠapinuwa might also have in fact referred to an office in Ḫattuša – though the city’s status as a royal residence and frontier city located just under 60 km as the crow flies from Ḫattuša would admittedly have allowed for a greater degree of administrative control. Regardless of the status of É.GAL URUŠapinuwa, it is difficult to sustain on the present slim evidentiary basis the conclusion of Siegelová (2001, 196) that: “Verzeichnisse der in den Regionen eingenommenen Steuern in den Archiven der Hauptstadt hinterlegt wurden … .” Perhaps provisional lalameš were sent with incoming chests of tribute, but there is as yet no evidence for a unified system of paperwork between Hittite cities implied by Siegelová’s model. It seems instead that all of the tribute recorded in the PTAC was shipped directly to the capital, so that the corpus is not an “archive of archives” of regional palaces.

3.1.2 Bo 10294 Record of Domestic Tribute in the Form of Copper Implements, Organized by Deliverer Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 10294 — 244.I (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from the left edge of a thick, multicolumn tablet, with a left vertical margin line, and written in a neat script with no space before paragraph lines. —

Contents List of domestic tribute in the form of weighed quantities of copper objects, with notes on missing quantities, organized by deliverer. Analysis Although the word MADDATTU is not preserved, 3.1.2 clearly belongs to the same genre as 3.1.1 and the related domestic tribute texts. The language of 3.1.2 is uniquely explicit among the tribute texts: cf. the expression n MA.NA URUDU-ŠUNU “n minas is (the weight of) their copper” in 3.1.2 obv. l. c. 3ʹ, 5ʹ, 12ʹ, and the unusually explicit syntax in n MA.NA/GÍN URUDU=ma=šši wa(k)kari(?) “n minas/shekels of copper are lacking from it” in obv. l. c. 10ʹ, 13ʹ). The Q[ATI(?) “is fi[nished(?),” too, if restored correctly in obv. l. c. 8ʹ closing out a tribute entry, is unique to the 3.1.2. Perhaps the most interesting feature of 3.1.2 is the explicit designation of certain objects as IGI.DU₈.A ‘gifts’ for the queen (obv. l. c. 5ʹ) and the king and queen (obv. l. c. 6ʹ–7ʹ). Despite being “gifts,” these items were not exempt from measurement against an expected nominal value, with any shortfall noted. It is not immediately clear whether the designation of the IGI.DU₈.A ‘gifts’ in 3.1.2 is revelatory or exceptional, i.e., whether text reveals that the IGI.DU₈.A portions in every tribute texts were set aside for the king and queen, or the king and queen were the special recipients only in this case. Since the language and syntax of 3.1.2 elsewhere seem to make explicit what is implicit in the other tribute texts, the former scenario may be suspected. This would fit the observation of Liverani 1990, 269–70 that tribute originated in customary gifts that became compulsory – a process that seems to be reflected in the frozen IGI.DU₈.A/MADDATTU distinction of the PTAC tribute texts.

Contents Tribute in the form of weighed quantities of copper and tin ingots, organized by town. Analysis 3.1.5 presents another domestic tribute text sharing many structural similarities with 3.1.1. However, 3.1.5 also exhibits a number of differences. First, the metals of the individual tribute entries are provided only by weight instead of the usual form. Presumably this means the metals were contributed as ingots. Second, MADDATTU and IGI.DU₈.A are not distinguished, but instead given as a single total: MADDATTU (QADU) IGI.DU₈.A. It is possible the totals were separated only at the end of each main section (cf. A₂ obv. ii(?) 7ʹ–9ʹ). Third, the metal tribute of 3.1.5 is not restricted to copper, but also includes tin. It is remarkable that the contributing cities are from all corners of Anatolia: from Awana =(?) Auna by Tumana (already HIT, 78; HVP, 161) in the far northwest to Kizzuwatna in the far southeast. The other geographic towns in 3.1.5 seem to be minor Anatolian towns (see Forlanini 2017, 241 for placing URUTetumna in the vicinity of Tuwanuwa based on the cult inventory KUB 57.108 + KUB 51.23; URUKapitašamna and URUx x-al]lina cannot be localized). Although it is possible that small-scale tin production was available in south-central Anatolia (Yener et al. 2015; Yalçın 2016), the tin from Kizzuwatna and Auna by Tumana would have necessarily come from trade. Thus, the contents of 3.1.5 clarifies an important point. The inner-Anatolian tribute system was not purely redistributive in the sense that it relied on towns contributing locally available resources to the capital. Rather it was partially commodified: since copper and certainly tin were not extracted everywhere in Anatolia, yet a wide range of towns still

paid taxes in these commodities, the metals must have been acquired through trade and stored by local institutions for use as a medium of exchange. Thus, copper and tin, which could be combined to make bronze, serve as a classic example of a commodity money: a unit of exchange such as livestock, rice, or even decorations like beads, gold, and silver, that could also be consumed. Since copper tools, even work-hardened arsenical copper, eventually wear out, there would always be a need for copper in agricultural, industrial, and household contexts. While the metals of 3.1.5 are measured in bulk, indicating they were likely unworked ingots, the standardized axes, sickles, and knives found in other tribute lists, e.g., 3.1.1, show that taxation could also be levied in premade agricultural implements.

3.1 Domestic Tribute in the Form of Metals and Durable Goods

As already discussed in the introductory Analysis to 3.1.1, the É.GAL URUŠa[pinuwa(?) in 3.1.5.A₂ obv. ii(?) 10ʹ is perhaps the only instance in the entire PTAC of a regional institution being administered from Ḫattuša. It is possible that the É.GAL URUŠapinuwa referred to a local institution in Ḫattuša, as is suspected with the other “regional palaces” in the PTAC (see Lexical Commentary, s.v. É(.GAL) (URU)…). But even if not, and 3.1.5 does reveal evidence that the administration at Ḫattuša could further distribute centrally collected tribute to regional cities for use and storage, the very rarity of true regional palaces in the PTAC suggests that such redistribution was limited or exceptional.

Note that of the two citations provided by HVP (p. 166 fn. 7), the alleged “Kapitatamna” of KBo 12.53 + KUB 48.105 (CTH 529.7) obv. 16ʹ can be read URUka-pí-ta-*ša-amna* (or -*ša!-am-na*), with the photograph revealing the second inscribed vertical of the supposed -ta- to be a scratch or remnants from an incomplete erasure. The second citation of URUka-pí-it-t[a- in KBo 12.52 (CTH 233.3) obv. ii 2 is inconclusive: if it is indeed the same city, then a variant spelling URUka-pí-it-t[a-šàm-na might also be considered. The spacing and traces of URUka-pí-t]a-š[àm-na-aš match A₂ obv. ii(?) 13ʹ. Cf. A₁ obv. i(?) 1ʹ–3ʹ, 4ʹ–6ʹ for two consecutive paragraphs seemingly ending with the same town name.

Contents A list of weighed quantities of metal tribute, with a “grand total.” Analysis The use of the “eagle weights” (with the exception of 4.1.4.6, attested only with metals) and the very large number of minas strongly suggests that 3.1.6 be assigned to the copper-and-tin tribute genre. The closest comparison is 3.1.5, and in fact the texts could be an indirect join: note the widely spaced double paragraph lines shared between the texts. However, the tribute in 3.1.6 is contributed by a professional group, namely the “men of the Dog Gate.” Finally, the ŠU.NÍGIN GAL “grand total” in 3.1.6 4ʹ is uncommon, but is again encountered in 3.1.12, which also shares the organization of tribute by contributing professional group. The grand total appearing at the end of the text demonstrates that the tribute texts were handled with a level of numeracy that is often lacking in the remainder of the PTAC.

Analysis 3.1.7 is another example of domestic tribute being received in the form of raw metals and finished products, and provides additional confirmation that tin was obtained through domestic tribute from local Anatolian towns. The appearance of the NA₄ḫekur (A rev. v 4ʹ) at the head of a section after a double-paragraph line suggests again that the tribute was earmarked for immediate distribution and storage at various government institutions. Note that the tin in 3.1.7 is as a rule weighed out with a weight system (KI.LÁ TI₈MUŠEN), while the copper is measured only by counts of objects of nominal weights (arrowheads, great-sickles, and drinking cups). The connection between the counted objects and weight was so automatic that in one paragraph (A₂ obv. ii 5aʹ–8ʹ) the scribe apparently forgot to record the weights of copper at first, only adding them above the line after the fact.

3.1 Domestic Tribute in the Form of Metals and Durable Goods

95

The rev. of 3.1.7 contains preruled sections headed by weights of tin. The interpretation of HVP (p. 164) that the rev. was a recapitulation of the obv., with the absence of overlaps attributable only to the poor state of preservation, is possible, but unlikely since the administrative texts of the PTAC rarely, if ever(?), exhibit recapitulatory features beyond single-line totals (ŠU.NÍGIN). Instead, the rev. can be interpreted as unfinished entries. This suggests that all of the tin in the text was weighed out first – attributable to the fact that the tin, and only the tin, was measured with a special weight set in 3.1.7 – before the counts of copper of objects were added in. The three lines preserved on the l. e. are difficult to interpret. The wooden objects could be the containers for the tribute, imply that the text was a summary or label of the tablet’s contents. However, this would leave the relatively small quantities (l. e. 1: 6 MA.NA 20[+n GÍN; l. e. 3: 26 GÍN AN.BAR) unexplained. Translation obv. i A₂ 1ʹ 2ʹ

Previous Edition(s):

A = 204/g B = Bo 1466 A = KBo 18.161 B = KUB 42.80 244.I A = Büyükkale D (n/15) B = (Ḫattuša) A = LNH B = NH A = A fragment from a single-column tablet with a left vertical margin line written in a somewhat variable script with variable spacing between words and before paragraph lines. B = A small interior fragment written in a variable, wandering script with variable spacing before paragraph lines. A = HIT, 103–5. HVP, 179–85 (4.1.5.A) B = HIT, 98. HVP, 179–83 (4.1.5.B)

Contents Obverse contains a receipt for manufacture/repair of stone and gold jewelry; reverse contains a domestic tribute list of copper vessels, chariots, and chariot accoutrements organized by deliverer. Analysis As already recognized by HVP (p. 179), 3.1.8 appears to be the combination of two genres. 3.1.8.A obv. preserves what is in effect a crafting text, where raw materials are issued into the “trust” (ŠU PN) of craftsmen and the objects to be produced named (cf. 3.1.8.A obv. 14ʹ: 4 penki NA₄NÍR ANA GAL dāir “they took 4 banded agate knobs for [the manufacture of] a cup”). Then, 3.1.8 rev. and its duplicate 3.1.8.B contain a record of domestic tribute in the form of chariots, weapons, and metals (the word MADDATTU is not used, but is presumably implicit, since some of the towns and individuals also bring IGI.DU₈.A ‘gifts’ in A rev. 18ʹ, 21ʹ). HVP (loc. cit.) attempted to resolve the disjunct between obv. and rev. by suggesting that the 3.1.8 was a Sammeltafel, or possibly a record of the intake and outlay of a single administrative institution. However, it may be possible to bring the obv. and rev. of 3.1.8 closer together in terms of function. As will be discussed in the introductory Analysis to 3.2.1, there are two text pairs, 3.2.1/4.1.3.1 and 4.1.2.1/4.1.2.2, in which tribute is manufactured from raw materials

supplied by the palace. One of the individuals delivering copper objects in 3.1.8. mḪella-DLAMMA LÚ URUAnzilatašši (A rev. 8ʹ) is also encountered delivering textiles and dyed wool as tribute in 3.2.1 obv. 4. Although it cannot be assured that the tribute brought by Hella-DLAMMA was manufactured from palace materials in 3.2.1, since his is not one of the three names explicitly shared with 4.1.3.1, his presence in the text does at least place him in the vicinity of individuals who did return such tribute. Moreover, as pointed out by HVP (p. 556), the delivery of wool on the one hand and copper on the other by Hella-DLAMMA is the sole example in the entire administrative corpus of a single person or town delivering both wool and metal tribute. If, as was hypothesized by HVP, towns had specializations in either wool or copper production, then the contribution of products of both types by Hella-DLAMMA and (presumably) the town of Anzilatašši is unusual, and may indicate that one or the other of the raw materials was obtained from the palace. Finally, as will be discussed 3.1.12, professional groups, including smiths, were capable of delivering tribute (cf. 3.1.12 4ʹ MA] N-TA-TUM LÚ.MEŠ SIM[UG.A “tr]ibute (of the) smi[ths”), meaning that it cannot be ruled out the obv. of 3.1.8 recorded craftsmen contributing their labor to materials supplied by the palace as value-added tribute. This might also explain the interruption of 3.1.8.A obv. 15ʹ–16ʹ, which appears to record items donated by an individual (m… URU]Á.ŠÉŠ AN.ZA.GÀR “m… ] of the fort [of the town of] Á.ŠÉŠ(?)”) who was not a craftsman located at Ḫattuša. Thus, if 3.1.8 is not a Sammeltafel or a reused tablet, then both the obv. and rev. could concern the delivery of tribute, some of which it can be said with certainty (the jewelry crafted on the obv.), and some of which may be suspected (the copper items delivered on the rev.) to have been produced from palace supplies.

Commentary 10 The reading GIBIL ‘new’ with HVP (p. 182) seems more probable than HIT (p. 103): IZI ‘fire’. 11 With HZL, 264: “NA₄[ ]MUŠ.ŠÌR … dürfte wohl Verschreibung für ]MUŠ.GÍR sein.” Daniel Schwemer (pers. comm.) points out that the form could also be influenced by the Akkadian name for the stone, muššaru. This would suggest an Akkadogram: MUŠ-ŠARx〈-RU〉. 16 HIT (p. 103) ]-it SÍG.LAM ; HVP (p. 182): ]-IT SÍG LAM, both without translation. Consulting the photo shows there is no space between the IT-sign and the following SÍG.LAM, suggesting a single word. Since SÍG.LAM = ŠÉŠ,

a reading URU]Á.ŠÉŠ, a city otherwise only mentioned in KBo 3.13 obv. 4ʹ (CTH 311 “Naram-Sin in Asia Minor”), is possible, if not highly probable.

It is questionable whether there is enough room for the full restoration “n MA.NA URUD]U?.” It is possible that that the URUDU was left out in this line, thus: “n MA.N]A?.” While a reading mPÚ/TÚL-la-a-aš might also be considered, no recognized reading of PÚ/TÚL ‘spring’ ends in -la.

3.1 Domestic Tribute in the Form of Metals and Durable Goods

3.1.10 KBo 18.155 Record of Domestic Tribute in the Form of Silver Bars, Organized by Town and Deliverer, Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

1497/u KBo 18.155 244.I Büyükkale (secondary context, aa/17) NH A fragment encompassing the top left corner of a single-column(?) tablet written in a neat script with no space before paragraph lines. HIT, 144–45. HVP, 186–89 (4.1.6)

Contents List of domestic tribute in the form of silver bars of various weights, organized by town with named deliverers. Analysis 3.1.10 represents a domestic tribute list of silver bars contributed by local Anatolian towns. Based on the surprisingly high amounts of silver levied on what are otherwise unknown towns, Floreano 2001, 230–32 proposed that the text recorded the primary extraction of silver from mines near these villages (Floreano adduced the irregular weight of the ingots, between 1.5–2.2 minas, as further evidence for the extraction hypothesis). Floreano (p. 232) concluded on this basis that “the tribute (MANDATTU) … was not an economic levy but rather a sort of work that comprised the delivery of a determined good as well as the entire operative cycle necessary to its production.” The role of the named individuals in 3.1.10 is not clear. Instead of the usual mPN LÚ URU GN construction indicating a governor or mayor of the town, the individuals appear after the town names. In two instances a designation LÚDUGUD ‘dignitary, officer’ is preserved (4: mPallanzaš LÚDUGUD, 6: mḪilašduš LÚDUGUD). As HVP (p. 187) pointed out, the most probable interpretation is that these individuals were, despite the unusual construction, responsible for the deliveries of the silver to the capital (see further discussion in Lexical Commentary, s.v. LÚDUGUD). The other option presented by HVP (loc. cit.), namely that the individuals could in theory have themselves been recipients based on the parallel construction in the similar text 3.1.11, where the position after the towns was occupied by a divine name (which presumably designated the temple receiving the silver), seems less probable.

Contents List of domestic tribute in the form of silver bars of various sizes, organized by town an receiving god. Analysis 3.1.11 represents another silver-tribute list like 3.1.10, with the PAD KÙ.BABBAR again suggesting delivery of mined silver. Despite the identical findspots and similar formats, minor differences in the hands of 3.1.11.A and 3.1.11.B suggest that the two texts did not belong to the same tablet: note the different PAD-signs, PÍ-signs, and the writings of ŠÀ.BA (A) vs. ŠÀ (B). Thus, with KBo 18, p. vi, the texts are: “nicht von der gleichen Tafel stammend, vielmehr Duplikat.” As with 3.1.1, where it was hypothesized that the tribute was earmarked for distribution and storage various government institutions, it appears the tribute in 3.1.11 is intended for direct distribution to the gods, i.e., their temples.

3.1 Domestic Tribute in the Form of Metals and Durable Goods

3.1.12 KBo 18.158 Fragment of a Record of Tribute “of the Smiths,” Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

2205/c KBo 18.158 244.I Büyükkale E (gateway) NH A fragment from the left edge of a presumably large, neatly written tablet with no space before paragraph lines. HIT, 146. HVP, 194–95 (4.1.8)

Contents List of tribute “of the smiths” in the form of a large number of finished items. Analysis Despite the brevity, the fragment 3.1.12 is an important administrative text for two reasons. First, the attestation of [MA]N-TA-TUM LÚ.MEŠSIM[ UG.A in 3.1.12 4ʹ is one of the few examples of professional groups providing tribute (cf. 3.1.6 3ʹ: MAN-TA-TUM(?) L]ÚMEŠ KÁ UR.GI₇; 4.1.2.1 obv. (i) 6ʹ: LÚMEŠ É.…; 4.1.2.2 obv. 6ʹ: LÚM[EŠ É].GA[L(?) (or LÚM[EŠ É N A₄ ] [KIŠIB)). It will be argued in the introductory Analysis to 3.2.1 that the finished objects provided as tribute by these professional groups, most or even all of whom were dependent on government institutions, were not produced from palatial supplies (cf. the text pairs 3.2.1/4.1.3.1 and 4.1.2.1/4.1.2.2). Thus, the tribute consisted not of new objects or materials sent to the capital, but rather the labor they added to the palace raw materials, i.e., a sort of “value-added tribute.” While it cannot be assured this is also the case in 3.1.12, it is not an unreasonable assumption that the tribute of the “smiths” – who, since no silver or gold is mentioned, were presumably local Ḫattušan smiths not necessarily fully dependent on palatial workshops – was also produced at least in part from palatial supplies. Moreover, the amount contributed by the smiths is large, being at least comparable to, if not outstripping, the contributions of entire cities and regions (cf. the 134 minas copper and 16 minas, 30 shekels tin from Kizzuwatna in 3.1.5.A₂ obv. ii(?) 4ʹ–6ʹ, or the 153 minas copper from Ankuwa in 3.1.8.A rev. 5ʹ: unless the 1 LI-IM objects in 3.1.12 3ʹ were arrowheads, the tribute of the smiths would exceed these contributions in weight alone). Palace-issued raw materials would help explain how the smiths acquired the crafting materials necessary to produce the otherwise excessively large numbers of finished objects without access to a taxation system. The second important feature of 3.1.12 is that it might reveal one of the sources of bronze implements for the Hittite state. The crafting texts represented by 4.1.2 Coppersmithing Texts deal exclusively with copper (the single completed bronze item in the broken context of the questionably classified fragment 4.1.1.4 2ʹ notwithstanding). Further, although the ĪDE texts (see 5. Extramural Allocations) record the distribution of

both copper and tin ingots (copper in 5.2 obv. ii 5, 6; 5.5 rev. iii 3ʹ; 5.7 rev. iii? 5ʹ, 9ʹ: tin in 5.2 obv. ii 6), only the copper ingots are cut or broken down in the texts (arḫa duwarner 5.2 obv. ii 13; TAR-anzi in 5.7 rev. iii? 10ʹ), and only copper objects are produced (5.2 obv. ii 14–17; 5.3 r. c. 4ʹ–8ʹ). In fact, despite the presence of raw copper and tin, not a single bronze ingot or object is found in any of the ĪDE texts. Since the texts classified under 4.1 Manufacturing Allocations and 5. Extramural Allocations exhaust the written records of manufacturing by the Hittite palace, there is thus no textual evidence that bronze was directly produced by the palace. Instead, bronze is apparently only received as tribute in the form of completed objects (3.1.1.A₂ rev. vi 3ʹ probably named completed objects, not ingots, in the break at the beginning of the line based on parallels within the text). Yet, it is inconceivable that the Hittite palace would not attempt to convert its copper and tin ingots into bronze when the need arose. If the second half of 3.1.12 represents more domestic tribute from professional groups, of which at least some was value-added, then the 2 LI-IM EME [ZABAR in 3.1.12 8ʹ could be one such attestation of the acquisition of bronze objects manufactured from palace supplies. But the fact that such a tentative argument must even be considered emphasizes again just how little direct textual evidence there is for bronze acquisition was in the PTAC.

Contents List of domestic tribute in the form of weighed quantities of dyed wool and garments recorded by number and weight. Analysis 3.2.1 lists a lots of dyed wool and small numbers of garments described as MADDATTU contributed by named individuals associated with a town or government institution. The most interesting feature of 3.2.1 is that a number of individuals (Agallū É(.GAL) tuppaš, Makarduwa/Masidu É Gazzimara, Piḫašdu LÚ URUPA.URUDU) delivering tribute there are also attested in the 4.1.3.1 as receiving large quantities of raw wool. The connection between the documents is not immediately obvious. As put by HVP (p. 326): Der Vergleich der beiden Dokumente wirft jedoch auch neue Fragestellen auf: Wie war das Verhältnis zwischen der auftraggebenden Stelle und diesen Einheiten geregelt, worauf beruhte der Mechanismus der Arbeitszuweisungen einerseits [4.1.3.1] und der Steuererhebungen anderseits [3.2.1]? Mangels Überlieferung sind diese Fragen im Augenblick ohne weitgreifende Hypothesen nicht zu beantworten. Sie gehören jedoch zu den interessantesten, die es in der Zukunft zu verfolgen heisst. Sie haben Entscheidendes über hethitische Gesellschaftsstruktur mitzuteilen.

In revisiting the problem, Siegelová (2001, 205) concluded only that “Weil jedes von den zwei Dokumenten aus verschieden Anlässen und vielleicht an unterschiedlichen Orten angefertigt wurde, liegt es nahe, die Übereinstimmung in ihnen als Beweis dafür anzusehen, dass die Wirtschaftstätigkeit und Verwaltungsorganisation relativ stabil und in beständigen Strukturen aufgebaut war.” It seems now that a stronger claim can be made, namely that that 4.1.3.1 represents the distribution of raw wool to various, surprisingly high-level government institutions, which is then returned as dyed wool

and finished products in 3.2.1. The decisive point in favor of this interpretation is the fact that the raw wool in 4.1.3.1, which is normally simply listed as a quantity followed by a personal name, is described as ŠU mma-x[ “trust of Ma-…[…]” in 4.1.3.1 2ʹ. As discussed in the Lexical Commentary, s.v. ŠU PN, this construction indicates that the wool amounts were considered temporary allotments from the palace, entrusted for a specific purpose with anticipation that they would be returned. Apparently, this purpose was the processing of raw wool into dyed wool and finished garments. The recipients/donors in both 3.2.1 and 4.1.3.1 fall into two categories. On the one hand are individuals belonging to institutions connected to the Hittite palace, such as Agallu of the É(.GAL) tuppaš ‘palace storehouse’ (3.2.1 rev. 8ʹ, 4.1.3.1 5ʹ) and Makarduwa and Mašidu of the É Gazzimara (3.2.1 rev. 11ʹ: mMakarduwaš, 4.1.3.1 6ʹ: mMašidu). On the other hand are individuals who were probably governors of local Anatolian towns (e.g., 3.2.1 obv. 15: mKuwalana-DLAMMA LÚ URUAlḫiša; 4.1.3.1 4ʹ: mPiḫašdu 〈LÚ〉 uruPA.URUD[U). Although it cannot be ascertained that every lot of wool and garments donated as tribute in 3.2.1 was manufactured from wool allotments, since the overlap in names between 3.2.1 and 4.1.3.1 is not one-to-one, it may be noted that the texts share both palace officials (Agallū, Makarduwa, and Mašidu) and governors (Piḫašdu), suggesting there were no categorical differences between who could manufacture from palace wool. The fact that the returned dyed wool and garments are described as MADDATTU confirms a meaning already tentatively suggested for that term in 3.1.8 and 3.1.12. Since what is being contributed is essentially value added in the form of labor, rather than new material or items, the MADDATTU here is more akin to šaḫḫan and luzzi, the obligatory services to state owed by all Hittites who were not otherwise exempted by rank Transliteration obv. 1 [1 TÚG w]a-aš-ḫa-ni-ia ZA.GÌN IGI-zi-a[š] 2 [n TÚG]maš-ši-aš ḪA-ŠÁR-TI 1 TÚGGÚ ḪUR-R[I] 3 [n+]1 MA.NA SÍG ḪA-ŠÁR-TUM 4 *GÍN?* ḪA-ŠÁR-T[I] 4 MA-AN-DA-DU mḫe-el-la-DLAMMA LÚ URUa[n-zi-la-ta-aš-ši]

or special skill. This relationship holds true even in the specific items in 3.2.1 were not made from the specific materials in 4.1.3.1: the Hittite palace distributed surplus raw materials to dependents and subordinates and received from them finished items, thereby capturing added value in the form of labor. Such an interpretation opens a new insight into the Hittite palatial economy. If high-ranking palace dependents and local governors were obligated to manufacture the Hittite palace’s surplus raw materials, then this suggests that the palace economy was at least partly manorial, i.e., that the palace chose not to or could not process raw materials exclusively in dedicated palace workshops, but instead “subcontracted” out to individuals and institutions conceived of as part of the larger palace network. In turn, the named individuals and institutions presumably relied on dependents in their own manorial households or extended social networks, since their social rank or, in the case of institutions, specialization in services other than manufacturing meant that they would not have made the items themselves. It will be argued that value-added tribute is also encountered in the coppersmithing texts 4.1.2.1/4.1.2.2, which record a similar scenario of allotment of raw materials to groups or individuals who were probably not palace craftsmen followed by a return of finished products. Although the value-added tribute thesis is best exemplified by such text pairs 3.2.1/4.1.3.1 and 4.1.2.1/4.1.2.2, where both the outgoing raw materials and incoming finished goods are documented, it may also be suspected that in other instances where government institutions or professional groups are listed as providing tribute, including 2.9 (A₃ obv. ii 8ʹ: MAN-TA- DU É.GAL NA₄[KIŠIB), 3.1.6 (3ʹ: MAN-TA-TUM(?)

Although the handcopy does not indicate an erasure, and the photograph is unclear, a geographical name is surely missing after the LÚ in 3.2.1 rev. 14ʹ (and likewise a 〈LÚ〉 should be restored in 4.1.3.1 4ʹ), suggesting that an 〈URUPA.URUDU〉 should be emended. The emendation LÚ〈ṬE-MU 〉 of HVP (pp. 197, 203 fn. 11; following original suggestion of Houwink ten Cate 1973, 255) is unmotivated given the parallel between 4.1.3.1 4ʹ and 3.2.1 rev. 14ʹ.

Contents List of domestic tribute in the form of numbers of garments and weights of wool, including “yearling wool,” organized by town/deliverer. Analysis The “tribute of the city of Ḫattuša” presumably refers to the domestic tribute levied on the city. The “yearling wool” (SÍG IGI-zi-aš MUKAM-aš) in obv.? 6ʹ, 8ʹ suggests that at least some of the tribute was instantiated in the form of raw materials (unless what was contributed was the cleaning and processing of the wool). Whether the finished products were produced from local raw materials or also included value-added tribute from palace raw materials cannot be determined, since the tribute of Piḫašdu, the governor(?) of URUPA.URUDU (3.2.1 rev. 14/4.1.3.1 4ʹ), appears to be of the value-added sort: cf. mAttā LÚ U[RU? … in 3.2.2 obv.? 10ʹ.

3.2 Domestic Tribute in the Form of Wool and Garments

123

Analysis 3.2.4 is one of two texts, along with 8.3, to mention tribute of a government institution (8.3 obv. 8ʹ also has a phrase MAN-TA-AT ⸢É?⸣.[GAL karupaḫi(?)). 8.3, however, is probably a textual forerunner to 8.1.E, one of the manuscripts of the KASKAL Main Text, which as a rule mentions no personal names in the body of the text (the two ANKURINNU vessels in the postcolophon of 8.1.A rev. iv 4ʹ–5ʹ and the concluding notes of 8.1.E(A₃) are the exceptions). Thus, 3.2.4 is better provisionally classified among the tribute texts. Tribute deliveries from individuals or groups of persons belonging to government institutions are found in other tribute texts (3.2.1 rev. 8ʹ, 11ʹ; 4.1.2.1 obv. (i) 6ʹ; 4.1.2.2 obv. 6ʹ), meaning that despite the unusual construction, it seems almost certain that mSIG₅LÚ is also delivering tribute from a government institution. It may be presumed, then, that since government institutions did not have (to our knowledge) independent sources of raw materials, the tribute in 3.2.4 was of the value-added type. The contents of tribute in 3.2.4, i.e., wool and garments or metal and metallic objects, cannot be definitively determined. The description of the items in terms of geographical origin best fits the “ethnic” garments, e.g., TÚGGÚ ḪURRI, TÚG Kapitašamna, TÚG Ikkuwaniya, TÚG Wašḫaniya, etc., and hence a provisional classification among the 3.2 Domestic Tribute in the Form of Wools and Garments.

A m.D10-SIG₅-LÚ “Tarḫu(nta)wašuziti,” based on m.D10-SIG₅-uš ‘Tarḫu(nta)wašu’, is also possible, but less likely given the two-part structure of most Anatolian names.

Contents List of individual garments and cloths. Analysis The term arkamma(n)- is a Wanderwort meaning ‘red-purple’ in Akkadian texts, but thus far is only attested in the sense of ‘tribute’ in Hittite texts (see Lexical Commentary, s.v. arkamma(n)- for main discussion). As noted in the lexical discussion, the case (sg. gen.) and position of arkammaš suggest that it is used here in 3.2.5 r. c. 2ʹ as a color term – the first such attestation at Ḫattuša. Absent a translation of arkamma(n)- as ‘tribute’, there is no reason to treat 3.2.5 as anything but an inventory. Nevertheless, the text is included here at the end of the tribute texts out of caution, in deference to the traditional translation of arkamma(n)-.

Contents Weighed quantities of gold, gold with copper, and silver, with notes on source, given to the smiths for smelting, production, and/or repair of objects. Analysis 4.1.1.1 provides an important link between the intake and manufacturing genres, as revealed by the fact it shares two paragraphs almost verbatim with the intake text 2.2. Whereas the intake texts were concerned with the unpacking of the chests and the registration of the items for distribution, 4.1.1.1 represents the earliest stages of issuing raw materials from the palace storehouse for various official purposes. The text tallies up allotments of raw metal with notes as to their source, destination, and purpose, the most prominent of which was manufacturing. 4.1.1.1 shares the preliminary inventory style of the intake texts, but now with more information on the contents: the metals are already weighed, and chests now have documentation in the form of lalameš ‘receipts’ indicating the purpose of the contents (see Lexical Commentary, s.v.). Thus, the weighing and labeling must have been one of the principal administrative tasks completed between 2.2 and 4.1.1.1. Not every lot of metal in 4.1.1.1 was destined for manufacture. In this way, the text shares further important connections with texts of other genres. 4.1.1.1.A₁ obv. 14ʹ//B₂ obv.? 1ʹ seems to record the transfer of a sum of gold to a foreign country, for which something was brought in return, a scenario also encountered in 1.5. Then, the paragraphs 4.1.1.1.A₁ rev. 15ʹ–17ʹ//B₁ rev. iii? 9–13 and A₁ rev. 18ʹ–20ʹ//B₁ rev. iii? 14–17, which respectively concern the allocation of silver for the MUNUS ḫarnauwaš INA URU… and for plating the gods of town of Urikina on the one hand, and the delivery of silver to crown prince at the KUŠARU-festival on the other, confirm that precious metals were not only used for manufacture by the palace, but also distributed to provincial temples, especially in festival contexts. Similar distribution events are encountered among the 6. Gifts and Handouts, e.g., the distribution of silver and silver items at the AN.DAḪ.ŠUMfestival at Arinna in 6.1 rev. A 6ʺ–lo. e. 10ʺ. A major contribution of 4.1.1.1, which has not been previously recognized, is the revelation that the palatial storehouses could store goods for (semi-)private individuals. Four paragraphs in A₂ obv. i 6ʹ–12ʹ note quantities of copper-gold alloy as coming IŠTU ŠA m… ‘from the lot of m… ’. Then, three of the paragraphs preserve an object that is described as “EGIR-anda …-aš.” HVP (p. 105 fn. 5) proposed to restore in these paragraphs a verb EGIR-anda uda- “zurückbringen, (nach geleisteter Arbeit) liefern.” However, this preverb + verb combination does not form an coherent semantic unit, with the EGIR-anda just indicating that the action took place at a later time (see further Lexical Commentary, s.v. EGIR-anda). Moreover, it is unlikely the objects in the paragraphs were manufactured from the copper-gold alloy: whereas two of the objects, the iššaralatana- ‘bracelet(?)’ (A₁ obv. i 7ʹ) and ḫeššamala- ‘(?)’ (A₁ obv. i 12ʹ) can be made of metals, the third, the TÚGkušiši-garment (A₁ obv. i 9ʹ), is a cloth that is never attested as having metal appliqués. Instead, a restoration EGIR-anda dāš (or perhaps pedaš) “later/afterwards/subsequently he took/carried off … ” (see already EGIR-anda dāš in HIT, 72 for A₁ obv. i 12ʹ, without further explanation), in the sense that the objects were

taken as compensation for the gold-with-copper used by the palace smiths, is proposed. Therefore, 4.1.1.1 seems to provide confirmation for the idea of Mora (2012, 63–65) that the cretulae system of the Westbau at Nişantepe and the Depotfund of Büyükkale D reflected a storage system for not only “official” government goods in the palatial storehouses, but also luxury objects belonging to the wider royal family and high officials of the land (indeed, 4.1.1.1 forms the first textual confirmation of this idea of semiprivate storage in palatial storehouses, since, as will be discussed in the introductory Analysis to 5.1, the thesis of Mora 2012, 65 and Giorgieri – Mora 2012 656–58 that the “ĪDE texts” form the textual counterpart to the seal impressions cannot be sustained). The fact that the gold from the lots named in 4.1.1.1.A₂ obv. i 6ʹ–12ʹ further seems to imply that quantities of precious metal in private possession could be requisitioned, with due compensation, for use by the palace. Apart from contents, 4.1.1.1 also reveals an unexpected nuance to the editorial process of the Hittite administrative texts. Comparing the copies 4.1.1.1.A with 4.1.1.1.B reveals a number of formatting differences. The hands of both copies are very similar, and the two tablets were probably written by the same scribe. The lineation ratio is approximately one-to-two, one line of 4.1.1.1.A requiring two lines of 4.1.1.1.B. Surprisingly, it is the single-column tablet 4.1.1.1.A that gives the impression of greater detail: Whenever there are differences, in every case it is 4.1.1.1.A that has a richer orthography or more information than 4.1.1.1.B: la-la-me-eš (A₁ obv. 15ʹ)/la-la-meš (B₂ obv. i? 2ʹ); A-NA GIŠ.ḪURḪI.A (A₁ obv. 17ʹ)/A-NA GIŠ.ḪUR (B₂ obv. i? 6ʹ); meḫ-li-D30-aš (A₁ rev. 14ʹ)/meḫ-li-D30 (B₁ rev. iii? 7); GAL [DUB.SARMEŠ (A₁ rev. 15ʹ)/Ø (B₁ rev. iii? 9); ḫar-na-uwa-aš (A₁ rev. 16ʹ)/ḫar-na-wa-aš (B₁ rev. iii? 11); I-NA U[RU (A₁ rev. 16ʹ)/Ø (B₁ rev. iii? 11); A-NA EZE[N₄ (A₁ rev. 20ʹ)/EZEN₄ (B₁ rev. iii? 16). (Note that the left vertical margin line of 4.1.1.1.A should not be taken as evidence for extra care or polish, since according to Waal 2015, 99, this feature on single-column ephemeral tablets was used as a writing aid rather than a finishing touch). Since 4.1.1.1.A appears in every other respect to be prior to 4.1.1.1.B, it must be assumed that part of the finishing process of copying single-column tablets onto a multicolumn tablet was removing extraneous details and signs. In terms of function, the number and variety of disbursements in 4.1.1.1, but also the heterogeneous level of detail with which the acts are recorded, indicate that the text probably served as a planning tool, rather than as an omnibus completed crafting receipts. The fact that at least some of the verbs of manufacture are in the presentfuture tense (e.g., ienzi in A₁ rev. 9ʹ, A₁ rev. 11ʹ//B₁ rev. iii? 2), while other actions have been completed karū ‘already’ (e.g., A₁ rev. 6ʹ//B₁ obv. ii? 14ʹ), places 4.1.1.1 in the thick of the action, and again emphasizes the text’s liminality.

Commentary 4 See HVP (p. 100 fn. 1) for rejection of a restoration GIŠtuppaza lalameš N[U.GÁL: “Da jedoch die l.-Urkunden [in 4.1.1.1.A] öfters als vorhanden erwähnt sind, und da man bei Edelmetallieferungen an Handwerker immer ausserordentlich vorsichtiges Vorgehen beobachten kann, nehme ich – bis zum Beweis des Gegenteils – an, dass die l.-Urkunde auch hier vorlag.” 4, 14, 16, 18 It is not obvious how tuppaza ‘from the chest(s)’ should be interpreted here. On the one hand, the ablative could indicate the origin of the lalameš ‘receipt’ that is immediately quoted. In favor of this is the fact that lalameš only occurs with tuppaza in 4.1.1.1. On the other hand, tuppaza could conceivably stand in contrast to the IŠTU ŠA m… ‘from (the lot) of m…’ in A₁ obv. i 6ʹ–12ʹ, and thus be the source of the metal to be crafted. In this case, the chests would be plural and non-specific, referring to the ‘chests’ of the palatial storehouse. The lalameš would then be syntactically independent: “(A quantity of metal) from the chests. A receipt (is available).” 7, 9, 12 See introductory Analysis for the decision to restore dāš ‘he took’ instead of udaš ‘he brought’ (HVP, 100). Note that the individual named in the IŠTU ŠA m… construction was also the taker of the objects is confirmed by the sg. pret. 3: the singular implies a specific individual, and not a generic

‘they’, which is always expressed by a plural. This individual is almost certainly the person just named. Contra HVP (p. 100), the clear vertical wedge immediately after the Winkelhaken in no way permits a reading DUL. Rather, with HIT (p. 75: “obviously … the -ki is superfluous”): 〈〈ki〉〉. Of personal names beginning with Lu-, only Lupakki, the name of an important official under Muršili II and Ḫattušili III (Bilgin 2018, 155–57), as well as a presumably related KARTAPPU official under Tudḫaliya IV (see Bilgin 2018, 157 fn. 289 for list of later Lupakkis), would seem to have the necessary wealth and connections to the palace. Contra HIT (p. 72), HVP (p. 102): da-a-an-[zi?, the plene spelling virtually guarantees that the participle form dān[za appears here. HVP (p. 102 fn. 7) hypothesized two possible meanings for āšgaz in the context of 4.1.1.1: On the one hand, āšgaz könnte … als eine Herkunftsangabe verstanden werden, die hier gewissermassen in Opposition zu maddattu stünde: Indem oben ([4.1.1.1.A₁ obv. 2ʹ, 3ʹ]) die Goldposten aus Steuern maddattu stammten, würden sie dagegen [4.1.1.1.A₁ obv. 13ʹ, 20ʹ] am Tore, d.h. wohl auf dem Markt erworben. Andererseits kann aškaz auch adverbiell als “von ausserhalb, ausserhalb” interpretiert werden. Im Kontext der [4.1.1.1.A₁ rev. 14ʹ, 19ʹ], wo die Metallmengen als in der Reserve(?) gehaltene Zusatzmittel betrachtet werden, wäre diese Deutung vielleicht mehr einleuchtend.

The meaning “from the gate(s)” in the sense “purchased at the market” is improbable. First, it is methodologically suspect to suppose the word had a different meaning in 4.1.1.1.A₁ obv. 13ʹ and 20ʹ than elsewhere in the text. Second, the attestation now of the pl. dat.-loc. āšgaš in 4.1.1.1.B₂ obv. i? 6ʹ, which cannot share the “location from” sense of āšgaz, indicates that adverbial āšgaz elsewhere in the text was used in its sense of location or destination, and not origin. It would seem, then, that āšgaz/āšgaš in the context of 4.1.1.1 meant “outside” in the sense of beyond the administrative control represented by the text. This had also a potential deictic sense – “outside (of this room)” – if the metals and text shared a storehouse. HVP, 102 has GÍ]N in 4.1.1.1.A₁ obv. 15ʹ, but there is reason not to restore MA.N]A as in 4.1.1.1.A₁ obv. 14ʹ and 16ʹ. Reading UZUGA[BA? contra HVP (p. 103 fn. 8: “Nach Foto die Lesung DUR möglich. Zu DUR.GUŠKIN vgl. AHw 1397 a”). The photo shows the first sign ending with a clear ŠE-group instead of the AḪ/IḪ/UḪ required by DUR. For breasts/pectorals as votive objects, cf. 2 GABA KÙ.S[I₂₂ in KUB 42.123 obv. ii 8ʹ. One can imagine that the A-NA GIŠ.ḪUR(ḪI.A) here means that the scribe had not personally weighed the gold, but was simply going by the available documentation. The KA-sign in 4.1.1.1.A₁ obv. 22ʹ is small and lightly impressed. Judging by position, it was probably part of an erased phrase [UM-MA m…] ka-ruú [A-NA mpal-la]-a mzu-zu-l[i]. 4.1.1.1.A₁ is to be placed somewhere on the upper rev. of 4.1.1.1.A₁. It is possible, though not certain, that 4.1.1.1.A₂ rev. 5ʹ = 4.1.1.1.A₁ rev. 2ʹ, as suggested by the arrangement of the handcopy in KBo 18. The verb missing at the end of B obv. ii 3ʹ was probably written at the beginning of the next line immediately above the paragraph line. There might not be enough room at the beginning of 4.1.1.1.A₁ rev. 6ʹ, in which case the comment karū kangan ‘already weighed’, restored from 2.2 rev. 9, should be deleted. This would be acceptable according to the relationship argued for in the introductory Analysis to each text, whereby the processing of officially weighing the metals occurred sometime after 2.2 but before 4.1.1.1 (hence the inclusion of the comment ‘already weighed’ in 2.2, where it is unexpected, but the omission of the same in 4.1.1.1, where every object should have in theory been already weighed). As discussed in GHL §22.16 (p. 309), the karū + pret. construction in Hittite denotes a past-perfect tense. The construction here indicates that the taking of the animal figurines for replating and their return was already accomplished before the writing of the tablet was begun. The shift to 1st person in 4.1.1.1.B₁ rev. iii? 16, 17 and 4.1.1.1.A₁ rev. 19, 20 (if restored correctly, and it was not instead in the 3rd person in this version) is remarkable. Use of 1st person is already extremely rare in the

PTAC, and then always as reported speech. Without emendation, the appearances here would be the only instance of the authors of the text referring to themselves. This is in addition to the fact that the individuals named immediately beforehand, Walwaziti and Pupuli, could in no way be the authors of the text: the former was the chief of scribes and perhaps the highest-level administrator in the land (Bilgin 2018, 252–55, with previous literature), while the latter was an important metalsmith who was probably not cuneiform literate (cf. discussion of the Anatolian Hieroglyphs in introductory Analysis of 9.1.9 below). Thus, whereas the translation of HPV (p. 107) is ambiguous, the 1st person will be interpreted here as direct speech or testimony of Walwaziti and Pupuli (thus already Bilgin 2018, 397). Whether this means the quotative particle ‑wa(r)- should be inserted with emendation is unclear, since the particle can sometimes be omitted (GHL §28.11, pp. 356–57). 4.1.1.1.A and 4.1.1.1.B both end with a disruption. The first word 4.1.1.1.A₁ rev. 19 is indented and followed by empty space before the break, implying the final verb was also indented. Such an arrangement usually indicates the final line of a paragraph. However, an additional line, A₁ rev. 20, then follows, written over the final paragraph line. The presence of 3rd sg. nom.-acc. n. enclitic pronoun -at-in the clitic chain of A₁ rev. 20 ensures that the information concerning the 10 shekels of silver should be restored as well (otherwise the enclitic pronoun would have no antecedent). It must be reconstructed, then, that the sentence “The chief of the scribes and Pupuli hold it outside” was originally intended to be the final line of the text. Afterwards, the scribe was compelled to add the additional information concerning the 10 shekels of silver given to the crown prince. It is unfortunate that the administrative situation that triggered this delayed insertion is not better documented: the subsequent paragraph in 4.1.1.1.B is erased and the space of six to seven lines to the end of the column left uninscribed.

Contents Assignment of weighed quantities of gold for the production of votive objects and drinking vessels. Analysis Whereas 4.1.1.1 was a liminal case between the intake, manufacture, and handout genres, 4.1.1.2 represents the true first-step administrative process for smithing objects. Insofar as the text is preserved, all of the metal in 4.1.1.2 is destined for manufacture. Each of the individual lots is registered according to a formula whereby the weights used for the metals are precisely recorded down to the individual stones used for each lot (see HVP, 294–95 for comments on the significance of this fact), the specific objects to be crafted are described, and the individual responsible for accomplishing the production named. Note that as is discussed in Lexical Commentary, s.v. ŠU PN, the individual appearing in the text was not necessarily the name of the craftsman who would finally manufacture the object, but was only the person who was administratively responsible for returning the gold under the conditions specified.

That 4.1.1.2 is present in two copies warrants some comment. HVP (p. 293) wrote of the relationship between the copies: Es kann sich vielleicht einerseits um eine Urkunde (B) handeln, die nach Bedarf des Augenblickes entstanden ist und die die momentan verlaufenden Geschehnisse festgehalten hat, anderseits dann um eine spätere Zusammenfassung (A), die selektiv nur auf bestimmte Transaktionen ausgerichtet war. Die Zeilen der Rückseite von B konnten unter diesen Umständen darin durchaus fehlen.

However, a simpler explanation might be available. 4.1.1.2.B is one of the very few tablets turned on its vertical axis (Waal 2015, 73–78), and only the second in the PTAC, after 2.5. Waal noted (p. 77) for tablets of this format that: “In most cases the obverse and reverse contain two different compositions. The ‘incorrect’ turning indicated that Transliteration obv. 1 2

the obverse and reverse were unrelated.” Thus, the gold assignments on the obv. of 4.1.1.2.B instantiate the records of one administrative act – perhaps the work of a day – and then the rev. of 4.1.1.2.B was apparently reused for a different task, unrelated to the gold assignments. The obv. of 4.1.1.2.B was then copied at a later point into the two-columned 4.1.1.2.A almost word-for-word (note that the alleged difference in A obv. 17ʹ//B obv. 3ʹ is non-existent, leaving the fuller writing in 4.1.1.2.A of MA.NA for the abbreviated MA. in B the only difference between the copies).

This Alalimi was then supposedly an associate of Dunwa-Šarruma based on the appearance of both names in 5.1. However, the Alalimi in 5.1 rev. iii 12 is ten lines removed from Dunwa-Šarruma (5.1 rev. iii 2), and the Alamūwa in KUB 13.35+ rev. iii 43 is described as DUMU.NITA ‘the boy’. Thus, Alamūwa ‘the boy’, who belonged to the queen’s storehouse, and the Alamūwa here in 4.1.1.2, who appears to be a goldsmith, are probably different people.

4.1.1.3 KUB 42.10+ Crafting Receipt for the Production of Various Silver Objects, Followed by Comments on Missing or Excess Quantities of Silver Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 5166 + VAT 7681 Bo 5166 + KUB 42.10 242.I (Ḫattuša) NH A large, single-column tablet with variable spacing before paragraph lines, variable script size, large amounts of uninscribed space, and a paragraph of upside-down text inserted on the rev. HIT, 93–95. HVP, 110–21 (2.2.2.2). Fuscagni 2007, 100 (translit. only)

Contents A receipt for weights of silver to be crafted into items, followed by comments on shipment and/or storage and further exceptional cases of silver distribution involving persons and objects. Analysis 4.1.1.3 is a composite text. The obv. contains a crafting receipt for silver objects in which weighed quantities of silver are followed by named objects (rhyta, knives, jugs, etc.), sometimes followed by a generic total: n UNŪTU “n implements.” It can be assumed from the layout that the metal is being issued for production of the listed objects (cf. the same arrangement in 4.1.1.1 and 4.1.1.2, where explicit verbs of production are preserved). Rev. A, written in the same direction as obv., lists groups consisting mostly of silver objects placed in containers, followed by the ŠU PN construction naming to whom the container was entrusted (contra HVP, 110, the personal names are not necessarily the smiths who produced the objects). There is no observable overlap between the objects on the obv. and rev. A; that is, the rev. A does not record the crafted objects of the obv. placed in containers for shipping. 4.1.1.3 continues in rev. B, which was written upside-down relative to obv. and rev. A. Rev. B lists weights of silver(?), the weight system and individual weights by which they were weighed, what they are intended for (in two cases a belt), and notes when quantities of metal are in excess or missing. Professional groups (rev. B 5: LÚ.MEŠKÙ.DÍM) and personal names in various syntactic relationships to the entries (rev. B 8: ANA mMutta; 10: ŠU mMutta; 11: ŠU mPallā; 12: mNeri) also appear. HVP (p. 110) made the keen observation that rev. A and B were written contemporarily, as is demonstrated by the fact that the sign size of the two sections grows progressively smaller as they approach each other. However, contra HVP (pp. 110–11: “Rs. B fasst die während der

The administrative context of 4.1.1.3 is not immediately obvious. The obv. alone can be classified as a straightforward crafting receipt of metals disbursed for production. The seemingly unrelated groups of objects on rev. A, which are already finished, placed in chests, and entrusted to named individuals, are being transported somewhere, presumably for repair, recycling, or storage. Rev.

B is most similar to the later portions of 4.1.1.1, which also detail the circumstances surrounding exceptional disbursements of silver. The fact that obv., rev. A, and rev.

It could be that 4.1.1.3 was the work of a single day of processing silver.

The syntactic position of the ANA LÚ.MEŠ KÙ.DÍM ‘for the smiths’ is unclear: it could either be in relationship to the belts (“of a belt for the smiths”) or, as translated here, to waqqari (“is missing for/unavailable to the smith”).

4.1 Manufacturing Allocations

157

Analysis The first paragraph of 4.1.1.5 obv. is a straightforward smith receipt, listing a weight of silver to be crafted into various vessels. The second paragraph begins with objects, some of which cannot be made entirely of silver, and ending a “total” of what was presumably the weight of silver used to craft (or plate?) these objects. The closest comparison in form and contents for 4.1.1.5 is the obv. of 4.1.1.3. However, unlike 4.1.1.3, it seems the prescribed smithing tasks in 4.1.1.5 have already been accomplished: the text begins with a TIL ‘finished’, presumably indicating that the crafting has already taken place. Single-columned receipts of completed items such as 4.1.1.5 probably represented the final documentary step before to the multicolumned smithing receipts of completed items such as 4.1.1.6. The upper edge of 4.1.1.5 exhibits a feature that is unique within the PTAC, and perhaps the Hittite corpus. The first full line of the upper edge forms a sort of “title line” duplicating the first line of the obverse. Waal 2015 does not list the feature in her discussion of tablets with text starting on the upper edge (pp. 61–63). The rarity of this sensible feature, which would allow for quick identification of a tablet lying in a stack or on a shelf, is probably due to the temporary nature of single-columned economic records such as 4.1.1.5, combined with the fragility of tablet edges.

965/z KBo 18.159 242.I Temple 1 (storeroom 5) NH A fragment from lower edge of a multicolumn tablet with modest space before paragraph lines. HIT, 101–2. HVP 300–1 (7.2)

Contents Weighed quantities of silver followed by unspecified numbers of finished objects. Analysis The multicolumn format, division of entries into paragraphs by weights of silver, and mention of personal lots in 4.1.1.6 recalls 4.1.1.1. However, in terms of administrative stage, 4.1.1.6 belongs to a much later step than 4.1.1.1: Note that the past tense in 4.1.1.6 rev. iii 2 indicates that the objects have already been made, even if the lack of numbers before the finished objects (4.1.1..6 rev. iii 2, 4, 6) reveals the preliminary nature of the report. The scribe of 4.1.1.6 apparently knew only that the objects had been crafted, but not yet their number. Why the inventory was drafted before this seemingly vital piece of information was known is unclear. It could be that while the numbers of objects to be produced were known in theory to the scribe (cf. the prescriptive crafting receipts 4.1.1.1, 4.1.1.2, and 4.1.1.3), they were not included in the retrospective account of 4.1.1.6 because he had not yet laid eyes on the objects for a final inventory count: cf.

the objects and quantities of metal ‘lacking’ (waqq-) in e.g., 3.1.1 obv. ii and 4.1.1.4 rev. B, revealing that the scribe was responsible for recording shortfalls and deviations from prescribed amounts in the production texts. Concerning the broken IŠTU phrases in 4.1.1.6 obv. ii 2ʹ; rev. iii 1, 3, 5, van den Hout (2006, 86 fn. 47) proposed that the IŠTU introduced the specific workshops from where the finished objects were to be retrieved. However, the IŠTU in 4.1.1.6 are unlikely to have introduced the origin or source of the crafted objects, since there are no other examples of this manner in the PTAC. Instead, with HVP (pp. 300–1), the IŠTU here are probably the beginnings of the same IŠTU ŠA PN construction found in 4.1.1.1.A₁ obv. 6ʹ–12ʹ, which also appear immediately following quantities of metal. However, contra HVP, as already discussed in the introductory Analysis of 4.1.1.1, the IŠTU ŠA PN did not introduce the name of the smiths responsible for manufacturing the objects, but rather the owner of the “lot” from which the precious metal was taken. Whether the individuals in 4.1.1.6 also received compensation, as was argued was the case in 4.1.1.1, or whether the objects were manufactured on their behalf and returned, cannot be determined due to the broken state of the text.

Commentary 8–9 Comparison to the other smithing texts suggests that a NA₄ ‘stone’ or TI₈ ‘eagle’ is implied or should be emended between the numeral 1 and KI.LÁ.BI.

Bo 4942 DBH 46/2.150 242.I (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from the top left corner of a tablet exhibiting a left vertical margin line (see Waal 2015, 97–101) and written in neat script and with no space before paragraph lines. Akdoğan 2016a, 103 (translit. only)

Contents Weighed quantities of silver followed by finished objects. Analysis The recapitulatory nature of 4.1.1.7 referring to “finished implements” (rev.! 1: UNŪTUM aniyan) places it at the end of the crafting process, probably at the point when the items were returned for final inventory before distribution or storage. Although the second and third paragraphs look very similar to the second and third paragraphs of 4.1.1.3 obv., the similarities are probably just coincidence rather than duplicate, since the enumeration and description of objects do not match exactly, and first paragraphs are clearly different. Likewise, a join is ruled out by the absence of a left vertical margin line in 4.1.1.3.

Commentary rev.!? 1 Despite the fact that the opposite side of the tablet is uninscribed insofar as it is preserved, the Randleiste at the top of the column suggests that 4.1.1.7 preserves the reverse, not the obverse of the tablet. It would also be highly unusual for the first line of a text to begin with a contrastive conjunction -a/-ma. If the reconstruction E[GIR?-an-da] ‘l[ater’… ] proposed below is accepted, then it seems the scribe ended the obverse early before starting with a second, temporally disjunct composition on the reverse. 2 Based on space considerations, the only options for restoration are [pí-i]e-er ‘they gave’, [ti-i]-e-er ‘they placed, set’, or perhaps [i]-e-er ‘they made’ if there is less space than appears. Given the context of a crafting receipt, a restoration E[GIR?-an-da] 2 [pí-i]-e-er “they [ga]ve [later]” fits the traces and would not be unexpected; see examples in Lexical Commentary, s.v. EGIR-anda.”

4.1 Manufacturing Allocations

Description:

Previous Edition(s):

163

An interior fragment from the reverse of a two-column(?) tablet with a narrow intercolumnium, written in a neat hand and no space before paragraph lines (the uninscribed line rev. r. c. 8ʹ is probably the result of right justification of final line in paragraph). Groddek 2006, 71–72 (translit. only)

Contents Small weights of silver and gold followed by objects, including divine figurines. Analysis The appearance of weighed quantities of precious metals at the beginning and end of the paragraphs places 4.1.1.8 clearly among the crafting texts. In this case, the objects being produced are divine figurines, or pieces thereof, providing a bridge between the 4.1 Manufacturing Allocations and the 10.2.1 Cult Image Descriptions (“Bildbeschreibungen”) or possibly the 7. Votive Gifts genres, depending on whether the divine body parts were meant to be attached to statues. Transliteration rev. r. c. 1ʹ [ ] erasure [

In this case, the reading Dni-n[a-at-ta, one of the winged servants of IŠTAR/Šauška (Frantz-Szabó 1983, 303–4; Haas 1994, 347), in 6ʹ is almost certain, which leaves Dk[u-li-it-ta (5ʹ), the other servant, an likely restoration in 5ʹ (the traces of a single low horizontal before the break rule out a reading DI[ŠTAR). The AN-sign in rev. r. c. 9ʹ should likewise be interpreted as a DINGIR determinative. 7ʹ The -ma-aš(?) could also be read GAL, but neither ‘great’ nor ‘cup’ would make sense in context. The coordinating conjunction -ya in rev. r. c. 3ʹ indicates that the text uses explicit sentential syntax, making the interpretation of -ma-aš as a clitic chain more likely.

4.1 Manufacturing Allocations

165

Analysis 4.1.1.9 contains a number of unusual features. First, the expression n KI.LÁ.BI ŠA NA₄ “n (is) its weight of stone/in stones” (4ʹ, 6ʹ, 7ʹ) is unique to the text (expected is a simple n KI.LÁ NA₄ “n stone weights”). Second, the appearance of lalameš ‘list, receipt’ at the end of a line in 8ʹ is unique, since in almost every other attestation in the PTAC, the lalameš is associated with a chest (tuppaza lalameš in 4.1.1.1.A₁ obv. 4ʹ, 14ʹ, 15ʹ, 16ʹ; lalameš ŠA GIŠ PISAN/tuppaš in 6.1 obv. 5, 11, 19; the only exception is 6.1 up. e. 1, where lalameš is not associated with a container, cf. philological Commentary to that line). No containers are visible in 4.1.1.9, but this could be due to the fragmentary preservation of the text. Finally, the appearance of uš-ki-iz-zi ‘he sees’ in 9ʹ recalls 9.1.4.A₁ rev. iv 11ʹ ušká[n- in the last line of the colophon after a list of personal names. The uške- suggests a scenario of supervised distribution. If so, then combined with the ANA LÚME[Š … in 13ʹ, this suggests a classification of 4.1.1.9 among the 4.1.1 Silver- and Goldsmithing Texts. The presence of the divine names in 8ʹ and 10ʹ suggests the manufacture of statuary or votive objects, making 4.1.1.8 the closest comparison.

Moreover, other items described as LIBIR.RA ‘old’ in the PTAC include chests and textiles, but not metals.

Contents Large numbers of drinking and serving vessels followed by weights of silver. Analysis The combination of drinking vessels and weights of silver in 4.1.1.10 initially suggests a crafting text. However, the very large number of objects (eighty-two cups are visible) is more typically encountered in the inventory texts. Thus, classification here should be taken as provisional.

25/w KBo 18.163 242.II Büyükkale D (r/11) NH A fragment from the left side of tablet written in a dense, neat script with minimal space before paragraph lines. HIT, 164. HVP, 302–5 (7.3.A)

Contents Weighed quantities of copper followed by corresponding numbers of copper axes and persons or institutional groups. Analysis As was already recognized in HVP (pp. 302–3), the coppersmithing texts 4.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.2 form a text pair documenting the same materials at two different moments of production: 4.1.2.1 represents the disbursement of the copper to the individuals and government/palatial institutions (cf. LÚMEŠ É.… in 4.1.2.1 obv. (i) 6ʹ; LÚM[EŠ É].GA[L(?) … or LÚM[EŠ É N]A₄[KIŠIB in 4.1.2.2 obv. 6ʹ), whereas 4.1.2.2 is the receipt of the finished products. However, in contrast to HVP, where 4.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.2 were considered to be straightforward manufacturing texts, there are a number of features that suggest the text pair represent something else. First, it is unusual for institutions to be involved with the manufacture of metal objects. In the gold- and silversmithing texts, quantities of metal are invariably “entrusted” (ŠU PN) to named individuals, with the objects usually crafted by an impersonal 3rd pl. (e.g., 4.1.1.6 rev. iii 2: iēr ‘they made’), with no mention of institutions. Named individuals are rare in the coppersmithing texts, (cf. an mAli-… in the broken context of 4.1.2.4 5ʹ), and verbs of manufacture are non-existent: the finished coppers objects simply appear after the weighed totals, as in 4.1.2.3 (though cf. 4.1.2.5 rev. 13ʹ: dāir ‘they took’, presumably taking an allotment of copper for manufacture). Thus, the ŠU mKuwayana in 4.1.2.1 obv. (i) 1ʹ is unusual for a coppersmithing text, and the LÚMEŠ É.… are unparalleled in any smithing text. The combination of named individual and delivering institutions instead fits the domestic tribute texts (cf. 3.1.1, 3.2.1, 3.2.4, etc.). Second, although 4.1.2.1 follows the structure found in the gold- and silversmithing texts, with the weighed metals listed first followed by the product to be manufactured (e.g., 4.1.1.2), 4.1.2.2 exhibits a reversed order, with the

4.1 Manufacturing Allocations

169

finished product first and the quantities of metal second. Such an arrangement is unattested among any of the other smithing texts, but is well-attested in the tribute texts (see 3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.10, and sporadically elsewhere). Third, and perhaps most probatively, the objects produced in 4.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.2 are none other than the standardized 2 mina copper axes from the domestic tribute texts (see esp. 3.1.1 and 3.1.2). The combination of the institutional actors, text format, and standardized copper axes strongly suggests that the text pair 4.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.2 are another example of the value-added tribute texts already encountered in the domestic tribute texts 3.1.8, 3.1.12, and especially the pair 3.2.1/4.1.3.1, which form the closest analog. Such an interpretation also better explains the binary documentation of 4.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.2, since the palace was both the source of the raw materials and the recipient of the finished products.

It is in fact only because the word MADDATTU is missing in 4.1.2.2 that it is classified here among the 4.1.2 Coppersmithing Texts alongside its counterpart disbursement text 4.1.2.1, and not, as with its wool garment analog 3.2.1, categorized under 3.

Contents Quantities of what is probably copper, broken down by individual weights. Analysis The relatively heavy weights involved (cf. the 10 mina weight in obv. 9ʹ) strongly suggest that 4.1.2.5 records quantities of copper. It cannot be determined whether implements or just bulk copper is recorded. The traces at the end of obv. 4ʹ, 7ʹ, 12ʹ; rev. 8ʹ 11ʹ are thus the ends of either personal names of those receiving the copper or the names of the copper objects produced. The dāir ‘they took’ in rev. 13ʹ tips the balance towards a context of distribution, and hence bulk copper and personal names. Transliteration obv. 1ʹ 2ʹ 3ʹ 4ʹ 5ʹ 6ʹ 7ʹ 8ʹ 9ʹ 10ʹ 11ʹ 12ʹ

Bo 6489 — 243.I (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment of a single-column(?) tablet written in a dense script separated by irregular, lightly drawn paragraph lines. HVP, 324–27 (7.7). Fuscagni 2007, 142–43 (translit. only)

Contents Large quantities of wool distributed to individuals representing various palatial institutions and Anatolian towns. Analysis 4.1.3.1 is an important text which, when paired with its counterpart 3.2.1, stands at the juncture between raw-material processing and textile production/acquisition (see introductory Analysis to 3.2.1 for a discussion of the relationship between and 3.2.1 and 4.1.3.1). As was already recognized by HVP (p. 324), the disbursement of the relatively large amounts of raw, undyed wool in 4.1.3.1 suggests a manufacturing scenario, rather than, e.g., handouts or rations. This interpretation is confirmed by 3.2.1, where at least three of the same individuals/institutions mentioned as receiving raw wool in 4.1.3.1 are attested as returning dyed wool and finished textiles: cf. Agallū É(.GAL) tuppaš 3.2.1 rev. 8ʹ, 4.1.3.1 5ʹ; Makarduwa É Gazzimara 3.2.1 rev. 11ʹ, Mašidu É Gazz[imara 4.1.3.1 6ʹ; and Piḫašdu LÚ (URUPA.URUD[U) 3.2.1 rev 14ʹ, 4.1.3.1 4ʹ. Whether there was a one-to-one correlation of the weights of raw wool distributed to processed wool and to the textiles received cannot be determined on the basis of 3.2.1 and 4.1.3.1. Since not all of the names overlap, it could be that the texts recorded separate but analogous events. Even so, the fact that at least some towns and institutions received raw materials from the palace and then returned finished goods made of the same material as tribute reveals that one of the purposes of domestic tribute was the extraction of labor, not just resources, and vice-versa, that not all raw-material allotments were processed in palace workshops.

See discussion of HVP (p. 326 fn. 1), which tentatively suggests a mistaken writing (URUPA.URUDU > URU.GIŠ!〈URU〉.URUDU = URU.GIŠBANŠUR) for a hypothetical URU.GIŠBANŠUR, which via the Akk. reflex paššūru might be a writing for the Hittite town of Pašūra. The photos show a ⸢SÍG⸣ is squeezed above the line after the GÍN. Apparently the scribe forgot to write SÍG in lines 4ʹ and 5ʹ, but only corrected this lapse in 5ʹ. The name mmašidu should correspond to mmakarduwaš in 3.2.1 rev. 11ʹ, but there seems to be no alternate sign-readings or obvious mistakes to explain the difference of the names. The fact that mtuwatta- is not in the nominative *mtuwattaš (see comment below) suggests a name mtuwatta-LÚ. Perhaps there was a haplography or deletion: mtuwatta-LÚ 〈LÚ〉 URU[… ? The name mmūwalanniš is placed in nominative here, as opposed to the stem form used by the other personal names in the text, presumably to prevent confusion with a possible reading **mmūwalanni-LÚ.

Contents Weights of colored wool followed by objects and brief commentary. Analysis 4.1.3.2 has received three divergent interpretations. HIT (p. 136) initially suggested the text recorded a court proceeding, which seems unnecessary when the text can be interpreted as an inventory. HVP (pp. 90–91) described the text instead as an inventory of processed wool received as small quantities and stored in the É karupaḫi ‘storehouse’ (rev. 9ʹ, 11ʹ) compiled with the assistance of primary documentation (cf. the missing GIŠ.ḪUR noted in rev. 2ʹ). As emphasized by HVP, the text is marked by involvement of

the queen, with at least some of the wool sealed with the sealing of the queen in rev. 3ʹ–4ʹ (HVP, 91 also suggested the queen might be the agent of the A-NA fan-ni-i-kán arḫa d[a-a-i(?) in rev. 8ʹ, which she translated p. 93 as “von Annī übern[ahm/übernimmt). Building upon the interpretation of HVP, Mora – Vigo (2012, 181–82) provided an elaborate reconstruction of 4.1.3.2 and its possible indirect join 4.1.3.3. They hypothesized that the tablets constituted a “controllo autoptico” (p. 181) undertaken on the specific occasion of the receipt of a shipment of wool that was missing its label from the LÚAGRIG of a provincial center. This supposedly necessitated a reweighing and recording of the contents under supervision of the queen, who then affixed her seal and entrusted to Annī for transport to the palace storehouses. Some aspects of this interpretation represent improvements over the interpretation of HVP, namely that Annī was probably the recipient or beneficiary, not the donator, of the lot of noil mentioned in 4.1.3.2 rev. 7ʹ–8ʹ (note that with HVP, SÍGMUKKU means ‘noil’ and not “lana grezza” ‘raw wool’ as translated in Mora – Vigo 2012, 182, meaning that Annī was not given the entire shipment of wool!). However, the remainder of the scenario hypothesized by Mora and Vigo is difficult to support on the meager amount of text preserved. There is certainly no evidence that Annī was entrusted with the wool to bring it to the storehouse (contra Mora – Vigo 2012, 182 temporary entrustment of this sort would almost certainly have been expressed as (ANA) ŠU fAnnī – see Lexical Commentary s.v. ŠU PN). Moreover, the separation of the wool amounts by paragraph lines suggest prima facie that the wool had different origins or purposes, so that the missing GIŠ.ḪUR of rev. 2ʹ should only apply to that paragraph. It may be hypothesized instead that 4.1.3.2 and 4.1.3.3 represent a type of text already encountered among the 2. Inventory Records Connected with Intake and Storage (e.g., 2.4, 2.5, 2.7), where various lots of items are processed in the presence of the queen recorded with running documentation noting her involvement. It might be that the involvement of the queen was proximate cause for these kinds of records, especially if her interventions were perceived as disturbances in the normal chain of responsibility. This could have been the case for 4.1.3.2 rev. 8ʹ: A-NA fan-ni-i-kán ar-ḫa d[a-a-i(?) and the parallel phrase in 4.1.3.3 6ʹ: [ANA(?) fa]nnī peran arḫa dā[i. The inclusion of the peran in 4.1.3.3 6ʹ (cf. also 4ʹ) suggests the action had a concrete, spatial interpretation, where the objects were removed “away in front/out front,” presumably of the storehouse. The use of 3 sg. here and throughout the texts (cf. 4.1.3.3 1ʹ, 6ʹ, 12ʹ) suggests a specific person was in mind, since an impersonal “they” is usually indicated by a 3 pl. This makes the suggestion of HVP (p. 91) that the queen was the agent of the verb attractive, with the multiplicity of 3 sg. verbs suggesting that the texts were written primarily to record a series of distributions directed by the queen. Since distribution of raw wool makes little sense outside of manufacture, the purpose of the distribution was almost certainly the further processing of the wool into garments.

Commentary 12ʹ There are no known personal names ending -ammari. In fact, the only word ending in -ammari in Jin Jie 1994 is GIŠmammarra/i, a type of tree or bush attested in a disappearing deity myth (CHD L–N s.v. GIŠmammarr(a/i)- [p. 139]). Perhaps there was also a personal name based on the plant?

Contents Weights of raw or partially processed wool of set in ledger format across from women’s names. Analysis 4.1.3.4 and the very similar 4.1.3.5 consist of quantities of raw or partially processed wool (depending on whether the wool described as ašara- ‘bright-white’ was natural or bleached) followed by individuals or pairs (4.1.3.4.A₁ obv. r. c. 5ʹ) of named women. The names of the women are unattested elsewhere and are presumably low-ranking craftswomen. Although the texts have been discussed extensively from the standpoint of wool production in HVP, 310–15, Mora – Vigo 2012, 177–80, Bacelli et al. 2014, 113, and Vigo 2016, 342, there is little that can confidently be said about the texts: it is not even clear whether the wool allotments are being distributed to or received from the

listed women. The fact, however, that the wool appears exclusively “in the white” in 4.1.3.4 and 4.1.3.5 suggests that the next step was dyeing, which was perhaps to be conducted by third parties outside of palace workshops, as suggested by the text pair 4.1.3.1 and 3.2.1. Transliteration obv. A₁

Contents Weighed quantities of raw wool/partially processed followed by women’s names. Analysis Another list of wool allotments to named women. The shared peculiarities of the script (cf. the quasi-ligature writing of SÍG BABBAR) and explicit sg. nom. declension (ga-ši-i[š in 3ʹ) strongly suggest that 4.1.3.5.A₁ and 4.1.3.5.A₂ are indirect joins. If not, then 4.1.3.5.A₂ is a separate text that at least classes with 4.1.3.5.A₁ rather than 4.1.3.4. As discussed in the introductory Analysis to 2.7, no relationship can be perceived between the contents of 2.7.B rev.? and 4.1.3.5.A₂. Whereas a genre of more permanent records would imply a Sammeltafel of intentionally selected texts, the appearance of unrelated administrative texts on the same tablet suggests that the tablet was reused, perhaps being the notes of a single work day. This scenario is supported by the fact that 2.7.B is clearly a preliminary draft that was later copied and expanded in 2.7.A. Transliteration obv.? A₁ 1ʹ 2ʹ 3ʹ 4ʹ 5ʹ 6ʹ 7ʹ 8ʹ A₂

4.1.3.6 KBo 31.51 Animal Hides Entrusted to Named Individuals for Processing, Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

348/f KBo 31.51 243.I Büyükkale E (g/13) NH A fragment from the upper right side of a large, one-column tablet, written in a dense script with variable sign shapes and no space before paragraph lines. HVP, 318–23 (7.6)

Contents Modest to large numbers of animal hides distributed to named individuals. Analysis 4.1.3.6 records the distribution of animal hides to various individuals organized by town. As pointed out by HVP (p. 319 fn. 5), an URULānda is named in the Telipinu Edict alongside other towns of the Lower Lands on the road to the Cilician Gates (Forlanini 2017, 243). If this is the same as the URULānda of 4.1.3.6, it raises the question as to why there is a text found at Ḫattuša dealing with the economy of the Lower Lands, especially given the otherwise complete absence of evidence for interference in local economic affairs. Part of the solution might be in the personal names. As HVP (p. 319) also pointed out, the appearance of a mKunni before different towns (Lānda in obv. 5ʹ, 6ʹ, and 16ʹ, Aršauna in obv. 10ʹ–11ʹ, and 12ʹ), while possibly attributable to chance homonymy, probably indicates that the named individuals do not belong to the towns mentioned. Instead, it can be imagined that Kunni and the other persons named were leatherworkers located at Ḫattuša charged with processing the hides (cf. rev. 5ʹ: S]UD?-meni “(‘)we (will) [d]raw?/[sp]read?.(’)”). Whether the towns were the source of these hides, or the destination for the finished products, cannot be determined from the text, but the former is more probable. Thus, it seems that leather and hides were imported to Ḫattuša as well, in addition to other raw materials such as wool and copper.

Commentary obv. 4 The only other countable noun with SÍG as a determinative in the PTAC is SÍG pittula-, which is unfortunately ruled out by the sign traces in 4.1.3.7 obv. 4. The same traces also rule out restoring the SÍGpittula- in rev. 4ʹ. Thus, a second countable object made of wool, which could also appear in high numbers, must be assumed. rev. 3ʹ The only personal name ending -ru(m)miya- is Annarumiya, a leather worker(?) attested receiving sheepskins in 4.1.3.6 rev. 3ʹ. There does not seem to be enough room to restore an-na]- in the break at the beginning of 4.1.3.7 rev. 3ʹ, but a non-geminate spelling a-na]- should be unproblematic, with the context of wool products in 4.1.3.7 supporting an identification with the same individual. [ana]rummiyaš(?) could be either nominative or genitive, and the following either sg. acc. memiyan, or less likely, sg. dat.-loc. memiyan[ni or sg. abl. memiyan[naza.

4.1.3.8 DBH 46/2.124 Fragment of Crafting Receipt(?) for Woolen Garments Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 4850 DBH 46/2.124 247.3 (Ḫattuša) LNH A small fragment from a sloppily written, single-column tablet. Akdoğan 2016a, 80 (translit. only)

Contents Weights of processed wool and a number of garments. Analysis The presence of weights of raw or partially processed wool (SÍG gaši, SÍG ašaraš) on the one hand, and the quantities of finished garments (15 maššiaš) on the other, suggests that 4.1.3.8 represents a link between the 4.1.3 Wool and Hide Processing Texts and the 4.1.4 Textile Manufacturing Texts. The closest comparison might be 4.1.4.7, a singlecolumn tablet showing a similar mix of wool and garments, though there the emphasis is reversed: 4.1.4.7 lists garments in the main text and the weights of wool in its upsidedown rev. B, where as 4.1.3.8 places the weights of wool in the main text and the garments in the upside-down rev. B.

4.1.4 Textile Manufacturing Texts 4.1.4.1 KBo 9.90+(+) Allocation of Wool for the Production of Belts for Named Persons, Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description:

Previous Edition(s):

A₁ = 62/g + 366/n + Bo 7836 A₂ = 238/g (+) 86/g A₁ = KBo 9.90 + KBo 9.89 + KUB 42.44 A₂ = KBo 18.197 243.II Büyükkale D (m/11–12, m/13–14, o–p/11) LNH Interior fragments of a three-column tablet showing broad intercolumnia and space before paragraph lines; the ductus shows a very ornate hand, marked by the proliferation of superfluous wedges. HIT, 113–17. HVP, 213–25 (5.1)

Contents Weights of wool listed analytically by color, followed by one or more belt-varieties and a personal name and a geographical name. Analysis The text group 4.1.4.1–4.1.4.6 represents a significant link between the 4.1 Manufacturing Allocations genre and the 6. Gifts and Handouts genre: they are manufacturing receipts intended for outgoing gifts, in this case to individuals belonging to various towns and palace institutions. However, as will be seen, this interpretation is not straightforward, but requires some deduction. HIT (pp. 113–17) originally interpreted 4.1.4.1 as recording the income of wool and garments from various local towns. Based on the recipe-like quantities of wool, each paragraph corresponding to a number of belts averaging one to two minas of wool in weight, HVP (pp. 228–29) correctly reinterpreted 4.1.4.1 and the related texts as manufacturing texts and not as the simultaneous contribution of wool and finished products next to each other. HVP (pp. 238, 246–255) was also correct to extend the classification of “IGI.DU₈.A” attested after the belts in 4.1.4.4 4ʹ, 8ʹ, 11ʹ and 4.1.4.5 rev. r. c. 5ʹ to the entire text group. However, HVP erred in assuming that IGI.DU₈.A had anything to do with the IGI.DU₈.A of the tribute lists (see main discussion in Lexical Commentary s.v. IGI.DU₈.A). Instead of being a shared technical term for a type of tribute, which required the convoluted argument of HVP (pp. 246–55) that IGI.DU₈.A items were set aside from

regular tribute already at the intake stage and kept as a separate “reserve fund” (p. 250) to be used either for votive offerings and contributions to the gods in festival settings (p. 252), or for remuneration for palace dependents (pp. 254–55), it is simpler to translate IGI.DU₈.A literally. Whether applied to the less-than-voluntary extra portions of tribute sent by local officials to the palace, or to the votive offerings sent by the king and queen to earn favor with the gods, or to the handouts given by the palace to dependents as a reward, the IGI.DU₈.A were all, in some shape or form, ‘gifts’. Dispensing with the assumption that IGI.DU₈.A must refer to a form of tribute clarifies what was perhaps the main problem of the interpretation of HVP of 4.1.4.1–4.1.4.6, namely the relationship of the wool and belts to the personal names and institutions listed in the text group. HVP (pp. 246–47) claimed that it was the wool in these texts that was designated IGI.DU₈.A, not the belts, and further (pp. 241, 242–43, 248, 252) that in 4.1.4.4, 4.1.4.5, and 4.1.4.6, where the personal names are followed by institutions (or just the institutions appear), the institutions were the source of the wool. In this scenario, the IGI.DU₈.A tribute was apparently distributed to various institutions for storage, whence it would be recalled, piecemeal, for the manufacture of items. Although HVP seemingly did not take an explicit stand on the personal names in these texts, i.e., whether they were recipients of the belts, or administrators at the institutions supposTransliteration obv. i A₂ 1ʹ [

edly contributing the wool, constructions such as 4.1.4.4 10ʹ: [IG]I.DU₈.A mpu-ul-li ⸢É⸣TIM [GAL] “IGI.DU₈.A: Pulli of the [Great] House” (cf. also 4ʹ, 8ʹ), where the genitive clearly indicates that Pulli belonged the institution, demand the latter, namely that the individuals belonged to the institutions contributing the wool. This poses a problem for the texts, such as 4.1.4.1, where only personal names are given. Were these individuals, many of whom were apparently local Anatolians identified only by their geographical affiliation, also entrusted with keeping portions of reserve IGI.DU₈.A for manufacture? If not, were they and their towns an alternate source of dyed and processed wool? The second option, while seeming initially plausible, would be unique within the PTAC: in no other manufacturing text are the source of the raw material and the finished product simultaneously named, since goods and materials become as a rule “anonymous” once they are enrolled with the administration. Instead, it seems much simpler to assume that the named individuals, each appearing in the final sentence of their paragraphs, and in 4.1.4.6 coming directly after the word IGI.DU₈.A ‘gift’, were the intended recipients of the belts. This matches the arrangement observed almost everywhere else in the other handout texts, where the recipients follow the list of given items (e.g., 6.1, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.8, 6.9), which often results in the personal names appearing in the final line of the paragraph.

The regularity of this pattern suggests that a round number of combed wool was selected first, and then a specific amount of noil intentionally added in, perhaps to be used as batting (the short fibers of noil make it unsuitable for weaving fabric, but acceptable as stuffing or batting).

Contents Weights of wool listed analytically by color, followed by one or more belt varieties and a personal name and a geographical name. Analysis 4.1.4.2 is very similar in form and contents to 4.1.4.1, but a different style of intercolumnia (simple for 4.1.4.2, wide for 4.1.4.1) ensures they are different tablets. Additionally, more of the names preserved in 4.1.4.2 belong to individuals of a recognizably high rank (with HVP, 231: “Es sind dies alles Persönlichkeiten, die in Dokumenten aus den letzten Regierungsjahren Ḫattušiliš III., und der Herrschaft Tudḫaliyas IV. in der engsten Nähe des Königs agierten.”). This further supports the interpretation presented in the introductory Analysis to 4.1.4.1 that the text group 4.1.4.1–4.1.4.6 recorded gifts to palace supporters.

Analysis As discussed in the introductory Analysis to 4.1.4.1, 4.1.4.4 is the only text, along with its possible indirect join 4.1.4.5, of the text group to explicitly describe the belts as IGI.DU₈.A. Nonetheless, as already recognized by HVP (p. 238), the IGI.DU₈.A can be assumed for the remainder of the text group – especially if the newly proposed interpretation of the texts as manufacturing receipts for handouts is accepted, since most handout texts do not explicitly label the objects as such (the position of a personal name at the end of the paragraph is usually sufficient).

Bo 1808 KUB 42.48 243.II (Ḫattuša) NH Lower third(?) of a single-column tablet written in an open, cursive script. HIT, 126–27. HVP, 242–45 (5.5)

Contents Weights of wool listed analytically by color, followed by a number of belts and a palace institution. Analysis 4.1.4.6 presents a unique variation on the belt manufacturing text group. Unlike the other texts in the group, no persons are mentioned. Each paragraph ends instead with a palace institution. Palace institutions also appear in the other belt manufacturing texts, e.g., 4.1.4.4 4ʹ, 8ʹ, 11ʹ and 4.1.4.5 rev. r. c. 5ʹ–6ʹ, but there they are preceded by a personal name. It is always possible that preceding personal names were lost in the breaks in 4.1.4.6. But even if not, there is no reason to assumed a different function for the text. The hypothesis that the institutions contributed the wool used to manufacture the belts was dispensed with in the introductory Analysis to 4.1.4.1. It seems equally unlikely that the institutions were the manufacturing sites for the belts: it would be curious for institutions described by HVP (p. 243) as “zu den bedeutenden Wirtschaftsund Verwaltungszentren des hethitischen Staates zählten” to be manufacturing garments in such modest quantities. Instead, it must be assumed that the finished belts in

Contents A detailed list of small numbers of garments mentioning the production of embellishment (MAŠLU). Analysis Although 4.1.4.8 could be written by the same hand as the complex inventory 9.2.4 (already noted by HVP, 524), the occurrence of the phrase A-NA E-P]IŠ MAŠ-LU “for mak]ing embellishment(s)” (or IŠ-TU LÚE-P]IŠ MAŠ-LU “from the] embellishment[m]ake[r]”?) in 6ʹ implies an earlier economic stage than a final inventory. One could imagine that the garments and harness parts(?) listed 1ʹ–5ʹ had been sent to or recently returned from the craftsmen responsible for embellishing textiles, placing 4.1.4.8 among the manufacturing texts. The mention of the ḫekur ‘rock sanctuary’ in 9ʹ is obscure, but perhaps the destination for some of the manufactured items (cf. É.GAL tianzi in 4.1.4.9 obv. 9).

Analysis 4.1.4.9 stands on the border between the manufacture and handout and/or equipment allocation texts. With HVP (p. 356), the phrases A-za arnuwanzi “they bring from the water” and iškallanzi “they slit” probably represent the final stages of a manufacturing or refurbishing process. The cloths in the texts are already extant – at least one is described as “old” (obv. 11) – and are being finished, cleaned, or reprocessed for various purposes. It may be assumed that the cloths were owned by the palace and were being distributed for government business. The description of the first five cloths, which were processed into chariot and furniture coverings, as “5 guzza-cloths (for/from?) the king of the land of Išuwa” (obv. 6), suggests that at least some of the cloths were diplomatic gifts, either intended for or received from that vassal ruler. The other cloths seem to be equipment allocations to palace dependents and institutions for official use, rather than as handouts (cf. the same individuals being entrusted with an equipment allocation in 4.2.6 obv.? 3ʹ; it is also hard to imagine how the LÚ.MEŠšalašḫaš ‘footmen(?)’ would share a single guzza-cloth as a handout). Contra Weeden 2011, 87–88, the fact that some of the cloths were sent to the É GIŠ.KIN-TI does not imply that the cloths were owned by, or given to, that institution, and hence the text cannot be used as evidence for the supposed high social standing of that institution’s inhabitants. Given the additional step of washing (perhaps walking?) after the distribution to the É GIŠ.KIN-TI (obv. 7) but before the final deposition in the palace (obv. 9), the appearance of the institution probably reflects its involvement in the manufacturing process.

Commentary obv. 2 While GIŠGIGIR AŠABI is not explicitly marked as dat.-loc., the context of the text suggests that it is the guzza-cloth that is given for use on the wagon (one of the stereotypical uses of the túgguz-za), and not an entire wagon that is given. See also É.GAL tianzi in obv. 9. 3 That the GIŠkarnaši is an unmarked sg. dat.-loc. is confirmed by the A-NA 2 GIŠŠÚ.A in the next line. The ka-ru-⸢ú⸣ appears above the line, apparently added after the fact. 4–5 The 2 šarpa-chairs are interpreted here as a clarification of the GIŠŠÚ.A in line 4. The insertion of the karū in line 3 and presumably line 4 indicates that the scribe was not adverse to adding notes or changes after the fact, and so the rupture of the usual syntax is unsurprising. 6 It seems that the total of 5 TÚGGUZ.ZA cloths for the king of Išuwa consisted, then, of one (whole) cloth for a chariot, two cloths for karnaššachairs coming from a larger piece cut in two, and two cloths for šarpachairs also coming from a larger piece cut in two. 9 As noted by Cajnko 2017, 196, É.GAL tianzi “they place (them) in the palace” in obv. 9 is a clear example of a formally case-unmarked Sumerogram used to express a spatial relation. 11 The interpretation of this line is not at all certain.

The reading of HVP (pp. 358–59): A-NA É.NA₄ DIZI “für das Mausoleum der Feuergottheit” (further Börker-Klähn 1994, 358: “Angesichts der Kremationspraxis besteht sogar Wahrscheinlichkeit, É.NA₄ DIZI – das ‘Steinhaus des göttlichen Feuers’ – in KUB LII, 96 könnte einen weiteren Terminus für das hethitische Königsgrab abgeben.”) is problematic for two reasons. First, the Sumerogram “DIZI” does not seem to exist in Hittite. According to van Gessel 1998, the extremely rare deified Fire is attested in only two compositions, as Dpaḫḫur in CTH 428 (KBo 20.31 obv. 17//KUB 12.21 + 57.69 obv. ii 16) and as DGIBIL₆/DGÌRA (=DIZI.GI) in CTH 641 (KUB 40.2 obv. 16, 34; rev. 10). The clear space between the NE-sign and the damage at the end of 4.1.4.9 obv. 12 prohibit a restoration DIZI.[GI]. Second, the alleged D sign is unlike any of the other seven AN-signs in the text, all of which have the horizontals intersecting the vertical at its midpoint, and not at the very bottom, as in obv. 12. Contra the handcopy of KUB 52.96, which does not indicate any damage for this sign, the photograph suggests abrasion, so that the original sign might have had the shape of an ab- or KIŠIB. An É NA₄KIŠIB would be ideal, but I can find no explanation or reading for the following NE-sign. If the problems of the AN-sign are overlooked, a reading É NA₄AN.ZAḪ is possible, but offers no convincing interpretation. A reading É.NA₄ ⸢AB⸣-BÍ ‘mausoleum of the (fore)fathers’ could make sense (compare the É.NA₄ DINGIR-LIM addaš ‘mausoleum of the divine forefathers’ in KUB 16.39 obv. ii 20, 24, 29, 30), but the orthography, while perfectly good Akkadian, would be unprecedented (a Sumerographic construction with (ŠA) AB.BAḪI.A would probably have been used instead).

Contents A heterogenous list of mostly iron (ore) objects and some malachite drinking vessels in containers. Analysis The fragment 4.2.1.A₁ was categorized as the sole example of an “Einnahmebeleg” by HVP (p. 137), who wrote: Ihr (relativ) spezialisierter Inhalt, der beschränkte Umfang, die unmittelbare Art der Aufzeichnung führen zur Annahme, dass eine während der Güterzustellung vorgenommene Urschrift vorliegt: Eine Urkunde also, welche als Unterlage für die Inventuren diente und worauf sich die Inventurprotokolle beziehen.

Now, with the join of 4.2.1.A₂ and the decisive phrase A-NA ŠU m.D10-manadu “(in)to the trust of Tarḫuntamanadu …” (A₂ rev. 13ʹ), it can be seen that the items of 4.2.1 are heading in the opposite direction: from within the administrative control of the palace to without. Support for this interpretation of direction is the fact that 4.2.1 lacks all comments on the origins of the chests, which is perhaps the only absolutely vital piece of information when registering an incoming shipment. It would also be suspicious that an intake of goods was all of the same material. Instead, it may be assumed that all of the chests in 4.2.1 came from the same storehouse that issued the tablet (thus their origin does not need to be mentioned since it is implicitly obvious from the administrator’s standpoint). The occasion was some purpose or event requiring large

amounts of iron (ore) objects, the first step of which involved their release into the trust of Tarḫuntamanadu (see Lexical Commentary for discussion of the ŠU PN phrase, which implies temporary entrustment of palace equipment to named individuals, rather than a transfer of ownership). The preliminary nature of the text, the fact that the objects are enumerated but not completely described, and the seeming lack of detailed information on the purpose or destination of the gathered chests place 4.2.1 at the very beginning of the administrative process for allocating equipment to named individuals. However, since large, multicolumn versions of the equipment allocations texts seem to be rare or missing (though very cautiously cf. 4.2.3), and since single-column texts are inordinately well-attested (4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.4, 4.2.5, 4.2.6, 4.2.9), it may be that the beginning of the administrative process was also the end, i.e., that the equipment allocation tablets were meant to be short-term, temporary records because the objects were meant to be returned within a reasonable amount of time. Thus, tablets such as 4.2.1 served as a reminder to the administrators that certain individuals held certain goods, essentially forming the counterpart to the GIŠ.ḪUR receipts that the recipients in some cases held (see 4.2.6 rev.? 8ʹ).

Commentary A₁ up. e. 1 The sign trace x is inscribed above the line. Judging by the same in obv. 6, the sign could have been a GAL or another descriptor of the chest, though the traces do not allow for decipherment. As HVP (p. 138 fn. 1) noted, the 50! seems to have an extra Winkelhaken. A₁ obv. 4 Since every other object in 4.2.1 is counted, even if it is not named (see commentary to A₁ obv. 6 below), it appears the scribe mistakenly left out the number before the very small toggle-pins in obv. 4. This is supported by the space before the large toggle pins in obv. 5, which is just large enough to restore a number. 6 The GAL is inserted after the fact above the line. The interpretation of ŠU-ŠI 6 AN.BAR SIG₅ 22 AN.BAR ŠA GUNNI is difficult. Previous interpretations have assumed that the enumerated “AN.BAR” refers to ingots or bars (HIT, 47: “It is not clear what the 66 ‘good irons’ refer to; one expects the name of an object, perhaps ‘ingots’?”; HVP, 139: “66 (Barren) vorzüglichen Eisens (und) 22 (Barren) Eisen (direkt) aus dem Ofen.”; Cordani 2016, 172 fn. 54: “the iron from the brazier might be bloom iron, with no specific shape.”).

metal (both HIT and HVP interpreted AN.BAR as metallic iron) to be described by weight, rather than count. Instead, AN.BAR should be interpreted here as the material of a set of unspecified objects that the scribe counted but did not care to further qualify, either because of the preliminary nature of the document or because the specific names of the implements were unimportant. Compare the similar situation with the “whites and blacks” in 2.7.A obv. 16, the “assortments” in 2.7.A obv. 21, 22, and most pertinently, the “assorted iron (ores)” in 8.1.A rev. v 14ʹ//8.1.D obv. i 11ʹ: 1 GI]Štup-pa-aš SA₅ ⸢TUR AN.BAR GE₆⸣ [(ki-i-na-a-an)-ta-aš (contra Siegelová 1984, 160, kīnāntaš should be interpreted here as ‘(as)sorted, choice, select’, as it means elsewhere in the PTAC, and not as an otherwise unattested terminus technicus for a preliminary state of metallurgical preparation). Thus, the enumerated “AN.BAR” in 4.2.1.A₁ obv. 6, 8 and 4.2.1.A₂ rev. 12ʹ, should be taken as a count for small iron (ore) objects of unspecified – and not necessarily homogenous – form and function, and that some of these objects were apparently associated with ovens. The GIŠšarpa- is a traditionally masculine seat, including for the Hittite king, while the GIŠGÌR.GUB (= GIŠḫapšalli-?) is feminine. Judging by the vessels, bowls, and two drinking straws in obv. 11, it seems the chest of this paragraph describes a drinking set for a man and woman. Why a leather bag with iron (ore) objects/implements should also be included is not apparent. The readings of HIT (p. 47): x x GIŠ.KÍNḪI.A and HVP (p. 138): 1 TUR 1 ḫurl[i were each halfway correct. HVP deciphered the first signs missed by HIT, but erred in following the handcopy by reading the two horizontals of the GIŠ as part of the preceding ⸢TUR⸣ (the resulting sign shape would be incompatible with the TUR.TUR in obv. 4, as well as the -IA- in TA-IA-AR-TÚ in obv. 10). The photo confirms that the two horizontals of the GIŠ are written so close as to partly transect the following horizontal, all but demanding that a GIŠ-sign be read. In addition, the beginning of the alleged “-l[i” are in fact Winkelhaken in the photo, and not horizontals depicted by the handcopy. For other objects with non-enumerated, plural GIŠ.KÍNḪI.A ‘overlays’, compare 4.2.3 3ʹ and 9.1.5 rev.! 15ʹ..

Contents Inventory of chests containing a number of iron (ore) and black iron (ore) knife blades and bars, with further scribal comment. Analysis It is unfortunate that the verb in 4.2.2 obv. 3a is not better preserved, since a restoration of either d[a-a-iš ‘he/she places, will place’ or d[a-a-aš or d[a-an-zi ‘he/she/they took’ would be decisive for classifying the text. The appearance of the chest at the end of a paragraph within a scribal comment most closely resembles 4.2.1.A₁ obv. 3, a singlecolumn tablet, also dealing with iron (ore) objects, that inventories various implement entrusted to a certain Tarḫuntamanadu. Indeed, the positioning of the containers at the end of paragraph seems to be a formal feature of the 4.2 Equipment Allocations category, being found in 4.2.1.A₁ obv. 3, 4.2.2 obv. 3, 4.2.3 l. c. 2ʹ, and 4.2.4 passim. Outside of the genre, the arrangement is found only in the smithing text 4.1.1.3 rev.

On the other hand, there is no evidence in the small fragment of text preserved that the items of 4.2.3 were distributed for official use. 4.2.3 will nevertheless be placed here for ease of reference, with caution that classification among the equipment allocations texts is uncertain.

Bo 6887 KUB 42.75 241.I (Ḫattuša) NH A neatly written, single-column tablet with a highly variable amount of spacing between words and lines. Güterbock 1971, 5–6 (obv. 1–7, rev. 2ʹ–9ʹ). HIT, 188–90. HVP, 63–67 (2.1.9)

Contents An inventory of mostly combs, hair clasps, and offering equipment of ivory, gold, and stone inside boxes of ivory, ebony, and silver. Analysis Like 4.2.1, 4.2.4 represents another single-columned inventory of items, at least some of which are entrusted to individuals. The major difference is that in 4.2.4 the only preserved recipient is the queen (obv. 11: ŠA ŠU MUNUS.LUGAL; see discussion in Lexical Commentary of ŠU PN), which perhaps explains the exceptional quality of the containers in the text. Thus, it seems that notwithstanding the queen’s involvement in administrative affairs (cf. 2.4, 2.5, and 2.7), delivery of items to her possession could, on occasion, also require official documentation, if only for the records of the administrators who issued the goods.

other instance of the expression, regardless of case, refers to a person entrusted with, but not actually given ownership of, an object, it can be inferred that the hair clasps here are not the personal property of the queen. From its other attestations, it would seem that the main use of the ŠU PN expression in the PTAC was as an accounting tool to prevent loss and/or embezzlement. However, it is difficult to imagine how the queen could embezzle anything from the palace storehouses. Were the hair clasps perhaps votive objects, and thus “property” of the gods?

Contents A list of gold and stone objects, including offering equipment. Analysis Although “good gold” is otherwise attested in the PTAC only in the manufacturing text 4.1.1.2, no join can be proposed, since 4.2.5 shows no evidence of being a crafting receipt. A better join seems to be 4.2.4, based on contents (offering equipment), vocabulary (2ʹ: GIŠpa[lšūwanza(?); 3ʹ: eḫlipak[iyaš), and possibly a shared hand. No direct join is visible, but the dense writing in 4.2.5 suggests it should be placed somewhere on the similarly compact 4.2.4 obv.

Bo 1092 KUB 42.106 249.I (Ḫattuša) NH Fragment of a large, single-column tablet written in a dense script with space before paragraph lines. HIT, 137–39. HVP, 379–83 (9.3)

Contents Detailed inventory of small- to large-sized lots of furniture, articles of clothing, cloths, jewelry, and vessels entrusted to groups or individuals. Analysis The entrusting (ŠU PN) of furniture and/or furniture cloths to the anonymous LÚ.MEŠ šalašḫaš MUNUS.LUGAL “queen’s footmen” in obv.? 3ʹ suggests that the context of 4.2.6 was an equipment allocation from palace control to individuals or professional groups associated with the palace. Judging by the contents, the main purpose of the allocations was the provision of vestments and cloths for what were presumably officially sanctioned events. The presence of a GIŠ.ḪUR in 4.2.6 rev.? 8ʹ suggests that here the recipients also received documentation for their allotments, and the ŠU PN construction implies that at least some, if not all, of the items were expected to be returned. 4.2.6 thus forms an administrative method of inventory control to the “ĪDE texts” (see 5.1–5.7), moreover, one that seems to reflect a greater amount of planning and forethought than the rapid-fire disbursement by a diverse set of supervisors and recipients observed in those texts.

Commentary obv.? 3ʹ Contra HVP (p. 380): ]x-aš ŠA ŠU LÚ.MEŠ… , such a parsing is definitively ruled out by the spacing shown in the tablet photo, to the point that if one were to insist on the ŠA ŠU PN phrase, then an emendation ]x-aš-ša 〈ŠA〉 ŠU LÚ.MEŠ… would be necessary. Instead, an item ending in -aš-ša should be restored, of which there are surprisingly few in the PTAC, namely (GIŠ)karnašša- (a type of chair), parzašša- (iron ore), and ušimašša(a stone or quality of jewelry). Of these, only (GIŠ)karnašša- fits the context of furniture for the queen. The space available in the break leaves just enough room to make a restoration of GADA possible, so it is not clear whether obv.? 3ʹ attests the linens for the chair or the chairs themselves. 5ʹ, 9ʹ For items made of kuššati-cloth, compare [4 T]ÚGGÚ ŠÀ.BA 2 ki-ša-ma 2 kuuš-ša-ti in 11.6.5 obv.? 6ʹ and 2 TÚGGÚ ku-uš-ša-ti in 11.6.7 5ʹ.

Contents Modest lots of garments, cloths, and jewelry with mention of groups of persons.

However, in contrast to the classification of HVP among the Inventarverzeichnisse, the ḫarzi ‘he/she holds’ (2ʹ) in what is apparently a non-Bildbeschreibung context and the mention of the “children of Am-…” (3ʹ) would be unexpected in a pure inventory text, and suggest instead classification of 4.2.7 among the allocations texts.

Previous Edition(s):

Soysal, CHDS 4 (forth.) (translit. and comm.)

Contents Modest numbers of copper and ivory utensils given to named individuals(?). Analysis 4.2.8 proves a difficult-to-interpret but potentially unique fragment. The reading of IDDI-[ in 7ʹ is unambiguous, and corresponds to no known Hittite words, suggesting the Akkadian verb IDDINŪ ‘they gave’. Then, in 4ʹ, the presence of a known personal name Neri (see Commentary to 4ʹ), followed by a li-i[d-, suggests a restoration of the precative LIDDINŪ ‘let them give’. If the reading is valid, it would not only be the first example of an Akkadian precative in the PTAC, but it would also confirm the suspicion that the impersonal 3rd pl. present-future Hittite forms elsewhere in the corpus have an implied sense of command: “they will give” > “they shall give.” As for the context of the giving in recorded 4.2.8, the heterogenous nature of the objects (copper axes and ivory skewers(?) are preserved) and the fairly large numbers suggest an allocation for some sort of official business, rather than individual handouts. Why this particular allocation employed Akkadographic verbs is unclear (note that the šaluwaš in 5ʹ seems to demonstrate that the text was not written entirely in Akkadian).

Analysis The appearance of the phrase A-NA LE.U₅ ipurawaš “according to the writing board (recorded) at the ramparts” (see Lexical Commentary, s.v. ipurawar) in 4.2.9 obv. 15 and rev. 30ʹ suggests that the text records an inventory of booty: see edition of HIT (p. 122: “on the record of booty”), and further connection by Symington 1991, 119 and Hazenbos 2007, 103 fn. 42 with the title LÚDUB.SAR GIŠ KARAŠ ‘scribe on wood(en tablets) of the army’ (now “clerk of the army” with van den Hout 2010a). Alternate interpretations, including the cautious suggestion of HVP (pp. 366–67) that the 4.2.9 records items gathered for an offering, or perhaps represents a confiscation of goods (later followed by Giorgieri – Mora 2012, 657), the simple labeling of the tablet as a “military inventory” by Lebrun 2008, 366, and the suggestion of Singer (2011, 463) that the text recorded a

“stockpile inventory” (based primarily on his dismissal that the objects could have been acquired in a single military campaign; cf. Commentary to lo. e. 33ʹ–34ʹ below for objections to this assessment), have proven awkward. Instead, the tripartite structure of the text outlined by HVP 367–69 in fact supports the booty interpretation of HIT: the division of the text into three lists of items – all in the same order and in roughly the same amounts – can plausibly be interpreted as the equal divvying of a pile of captured items among three individuals. The question of why these individuals received these items, whether they were the final recipients or just the caretakers of the items, and indeed whether 4.2.9 should be classified among the equipment allocations, remains open. Its solution depends almost entirely on whether one restores a ŠA ŠU PN “of the trust of …” or a ŠA PN “of/belong to …” at the end of each text section (4.2.9 obv. 17; rev. 10ʹ, 24ʹ), or if the ŠA ŠU PN in lo. e. 34ʹ is taken as an exception restricted to the final paragraph. If ŠA ŠU PN is restored everywhere, then the text records the temporary enTransliteration obv. 1 ⸢2⸣ TÚG ŠÀ.BA 1 ḪA-ŠÁR-TI 1 BABBAR ⸢3 TÚG⸣maš-ši-aš ŠÀ.BA 1 ZA.GÌN 2 LÍL-aš 2 ⸢9⸣ TÚGGÚ ḪUR-RI ti-ia-la-an ŠÀ.BA 2 SIG 1 GADA ŠU- UḪ-RU 2 GADA SIG 1 a-du-up-li 2 [ŠU]-⸢RI-PU⸣ 3 1 ka-pí-it-ta-šàm-na 3 TÚGGÚ ḪUR-RI i-at-na-aš ⸢ŠÀ.BA 2⸣ ḪAŠ-MAN-NI 1 LÍL-aš 4 7 TÚGGÚ ḪUR- RI ŠÀ.BA 2 MAŠ-LU DAB-an 1 MAŠ-⸢LU BABBAR⸣ [5 x x x x] ⸢5⸣ TÚGGÚ ŠÀ.B[A x x x] ⸢LÍL⸣ 3 GADA SIG 5 4 TÚGÍB.LÁ ŠÀ.BA 2 MAŠ-LU 2 GADA 7 TÚGG[Ú(.È.A)(?) … TÚ]G TUR 6 3 TÚGE.ÍB.GÍR ŠÀ.BA 2 SA₅ 1 GADA 5 T[ÚG … n+]1 ⸢ZA.GÌN⸣ 7 2 TÚGSAG.DUL 2 TÚGMAR.ŠUM SAG.[DUL 8 1 TÚGše-pa-ḫi-iš 1 TÚGGÚ ḪUR-R[I 9 2 TÚGSAG.DUL SÍG GE₆ ŠÀ.B[A 10 2 TÚGMAR.ŠUM ZA.GÌN 3 TÚG[ 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

trustment of booty to the named individuals. Presumably this would have occurred in the context of transporting these items back to the palace (otherwise why would the items still be identified as coming from “a writing board recorded at the ramparts”?), meaning that the tablet was crafted based on a preliminary report, the aforementioned LE.U₅ ipurawaš, which was sent ahead of the items. Indeed, the explicit mention of the LE.U₅ ipurawaš was probably to indicate that the scribe had prepared the tablet based on a standard of evidence less than the usual visual inspection of the goods. If only a ŠA PN is restored, then the three individuals named were the final recipients of the items (so Singer 2011, 461–66). This seems the less probable of the two scenarios, not the least because the ŠA ŠU PN is explicitly preserved in lo. e. 34ʹ, but also since most handouts in the PTAC are fairly modest and large quantities of private goods are generally not recorded.

Commentary obv. 23 The WA-sign (GEŠTU) looks very different from the ŠI-signs (BABBAR) in the rest of 4.2.9, making the emendation of Beckman 2011, 178 to BABBAR! less likely. 29 Cf. Beckman 2011, 179: “tiyala Hurrian shirts (for wearing on) the throne(?)” and HIT (p. 122): “Hurrian shirts, ceremonial(?),” versus HVP (p. 373): “hurritische Hemden t. des Sessels(?).” Since the phrase is hapax to this line, the translation will be kept literal: “Hurrian tunic(s) for a tapri-chair.” Cf. the same problem of translation is encountered with other chair cloths, such as obv. 17: TÚGparnaš watarmaš “parna-cloth for a watarma-chair?,” rev. 24ʹ: TÚGparnaš tapriaš “parna-cloth for a tapri-chair,” and 11.6.2 l. e. 6ʹ: 2 TÚGšepaḫieš GIŠkarnaššaš “2 shepherd’s tunics for a karnašša-chair.” rev. 5ʹ For the karnašša-chair with other cloths, compare 11.6.2 l. e. 6ʹ: 2 TÚG šepaḫieš GIŠkarnaššaš “2 shepherd’s tunics for a karnašša-chair.” Since the GAM-an SUD-uaš was one of the “functional linens” that formed part of a dining set, a GADA is almost certainly to be restored as the head noun in the break at the beginning of rev. 5ʹ.

lo. e. 33ʹ–34ʹ Singer (2011, 463) doubted that vessels from Aḫḫiyawa (lo. e. 33ʹ) and Egypt (lo. e. 34ʹ) would have been captured together in a single campaign. He instead considered that the items comprised “the basic equipment of a Near Eastern gentleman” (p. 464). But why should such a range of items not be captured in a single campaign? Especially in the context of western Anatolia or the Levantine littoral, the circulation of luxury goods meant that palaces would include prestige objects from across the eastern Mediterranean. To wit, if marauders were to sack Wiluša, Apaša, Ugarit, or Alašiya, or the local palaces of any coastal kingdom with connections to the trade networks of the day, there is a good chance they would have been able carry off booty of exactly such diverse geographic origins. As Beckman et al. 2011, 182 pointed out regarding the URUDUŠU.ŠÈ.LÁ KUR aḫḫiyauwā, “We have no idea how the item was acquired – whether through trade, as a gift perhaps presented to the palace by a traveler returning from the west, or by other means. It may not in fact have been of Aḫḫiyawan/Greek origin, but rather an item produced locally, or in western Anatolia, inspired by an original Greek design.”

Contents A list of garments, harness-parts, and bronze tools, followed by mention of a “cupbearer.” Analysis Classification of 4.2.11 is difficult. The LÚSAGI.A at the end of the paragraph in 4.2.11 8ʹ recalls the allocations text 4.2.10 6ʹ, however, a DUG].LÚSAGI.A “cup-bearer’s vessel” cannot be ruled out (though coming as it does at the end of a list of bronze tools makes a drinking vessel somewhat unexpected). The SUM in 3ʹ is intriguing but unclear in the broken context. The bronze tools MAR ‘spade’ and artal ‘saw’ are without parallel in the PTAC. It is possible that 4.2.11 is instead a list of implements needed for a ritual, and should thus be placed under 12.1 Ritual Lists. Classification among the allocations texts should in any event be taken as highly provisional.

Contents Description of malachite and silver theriomorphic rhyta. Analysis The commentary involving the queen recalls 2.4 and 4.1.1.1. The ŠU mAmmi-ŠEŠ “trust of Amminani” forms the only point of classification, and suggests that the figurines (votive objects?) in 4.2.12 were being transferred somewhere.

Contents Small lots of objects followed by individuals or geographical or professional groups, and sometimes the occasion or purpose for which the objects were taken, and the names of the high-ranking supervisors approving the transactions. Analysis The so-called “ĪDE” texts have received extensive interest and discussion due to the presence of princes and important officials in the text (see now Bilgin 2018, 392–95, esp. Table 22 “List of inspectors attested in inventory documents”). Yet despite the recent attempts at reanalysis (see discussion of Mora and Giorgieri below), the original assessment of Siegelová that these texts were “Distributions taking place under official supervision” (Unter amtlicher Aufsicht stattfindende Ausgaben) (pp. 257, 283–91) remains the best. The ĪDE texts consist in terms of format of large paragraphs containing numerous sentences, all of the basic format of a list of objects followed by a recipient or group of recipients identified by name and/or title, then the name of a supervisor and the Akkadian verb ĪDE ‘he knew’. In contrast to almost every other text in the PTAC, no attempt is made to separate these sentences into separate lines. The items distributed in the texts run the gamut from large quantities of raw materials (3 talents of copper and n+1 talents of tin in 5.2 obv. ii 6), to weapons and tools (5.2 obv. ii 3), to drinking paraphernalia (5.1 obv. ii 4ʹ–11ʹ), to votive objects (5.1 obv. ii 12ʹ–rev. iii 1ʹ). Garments and cloths are nearly absent (but cf. 2? guzza-cloths in 5.7 rev.? iii 24ʹ). The recipients of the

objects are individuals of humble rank and anonymous groups (“men from GN,” “the king’s parwala-men,” “the carpenters of Zippaššana”). The reason for the distribution of the objects is sometimes named: as votive gifts for a deity (5.1 obv. ii 12ʹ; rev. iii 4), for use in rituals (5.1 rev. iii 2–4), as handouts to elites (5.1 rev. iii 5: ANA LÚ.MEŠGAL KUR URU UGU-TI), and for crafting (5.2 obv. ii 13–18; 5.7 rev. iii? 9ʹ–10ʹ), which not infrequently involved the breaking down/subdividing of metal ingots (5.1 rev. iv 2–4; 5.2 obv. ii 13, rev. iii 4ʹ; 5.5 rev. iii 5ʹ; 5.7 rev.? iii 10ʹ). In most instances, however, the objects are simply enumerated and followed by a name or group. The supervisors of the distributions include a number of princes and various officials, both known and unknown. The heterogeneity of both the persons and offices of the supervising officials led Bilgin (2018, 394) to conclude that: “the inspections were not the responsibility of a specific office, but were rather performed by whichever high official was available at the time.” HVP (p. 285) attempted to relate the purpose of the supervised disbursements in the ĪDE texts to the obligation described in the “Instructions for Temple Personnel” that royal gifts to temple staff be witnessed and registered, while admitting that in these texts the disbursements took place at a more mundane, quotidian level. However, in accordance with the rank of recipients and the range of purposes for which the objects are given, crafting not the least among them, it seems better to interpret the texts more generally. It can instead be surmised that the ĪDE texts were running accounts of disbursements of palace materials for palace business – whether that be for personal gifts to visiting grandees, the fulfillment of votive obligations, conversion of raw materials into finished products by individuals not directly dependent on the palace (see discussion of copper- versus bronzesmithing in 4.1.2.1), the provision of equipment for conducting rituals, the checking out of tableware for banquets, or indeed any other purpose in which the palace had a material interest. Thus, the ĪDE texts are best described as extramural allocations, in which the objects and materials were leaving the control of the palace, but with the expectation that they would be spent in accomplishment of palace business or returned. This makes the texts the counterpart to the 4. Intramural Allocations, in which the objects and materials were either sent for processing in palace-controlled workshops or given into the trust of named officials. Since the ĪDE texts have received more interest than usual among the PTAC, a few previous hypotheses concerning their function must be discussed here. Kempiński – Košak 1977, 88 (also HIT, 89) considered that the texts recorded the inspection or checking of incoming and outgoing goods by supervisors acting as accountants. The basic accounting function of the texts is certainly accurate, but there is no evidence that any of the goods were incoming, since every time a purpose is specified for the objects, it is always one of outgoing expenditure (one would also expect any incoming objects to have been labeled as gift or tribute). Mascheroni 1979, 365–71 argued that the lead ĪDE text, edited here as 5.1, was part of a judicial proceeding charging the individuals named as “knowing,” i.e., the supervisors, with embezzlement. His argument was based primarily on the overlap of the prosopography of the ĪDE texts with juridical texts (see list ibid., p. 366), but this only confirms that the supervisors who had authority over item redistribution were the same individuals who were asked to give depositions in embezzlement proceedings.

The contexts of the ĪDE texts were also extensively discussed by Giorgieri – Mora 2012, 654–59 (earlier Mora 2007). According to Giorgieri – Mora 2012, 656, the text can be interpreted as enumerations of items delivered by various local communities, in which case: [n]ach Mora 2007 wäre es möglich, daß die sogenannte “ĪDE-Formel” (wörtl. “er weiß”) als “er hat gesiegelt” gedeutet werden kann; sie wäre daher ein idiomatischer Ausdruck für eine der verbreitesten Verwaltungstätigkeiten, nämlich die Versiegelung. Falls diese Deutung richtig ist, so ist es möglich anzunehmen, daß diese Hochbeamten nicht nur Aufsichtsfunktion hatten, sondern auch Empfänger eines Teils der in den Inventaren verzeichneten Luxusgüter waren.

There are three main problems with this interpretation. First, as was discussed concerning Kempinski – Košak 1977, there is no evidence that any of the objects were incoming, and indeed explicit evidence that the objects were being distributed. Second, there is no independent evidence that the supervisors took any of the objects for themselves, a scenario which would be difficult to imagine if the objects were outgoing. Indeed, in some instances it would be impossible, or at least highly inadvisable, for the supervisor to have taken any of the objects for himself, such as with the votive gifts for Ištar in 5.1 obv. ii 12ʹ – rev. iii 1 or the gifts for the grandees of the Upper Land in 5.1 rev. iii 5, and these transactions are otherwise indistinguishable from those in the remainder of the texts. Third and finally, the supposition that ĪDE here referred to the act of sealing is unfounded. This was based primarily on the argument in Giorgieri – Mora (p. 658) that the names of the supervisors in the ĪDE texts (as well as those of some of the recipients) are well-represented among the cretulae found at the Nişantepe Westbau. However, as with the argument of Mascheroni 1979, this only demonstrates that overseers of the ĪDE texts were important enough to be represented in other genres, in this case appearing also among the bullae and cretulae preserved at Nişantepe. Thus, independent of the thesis of Mora 2012, 64–65 that the bullae and cretulae of the Nişantepe Westbau and the Depotfund of Büyükkale D documented a system of (semi-)private storage by the palace – for which it is 4.1.1.1 that now serves as partial proof (see introductory Analysis) – the idea of Mora 2012, 65 that the ĪDE texts represented the textual counterparts of the bullae system cannot be sustained. The ĪDE texts did not record the receipt of objects, much less the accumulation of private property by palace officials.

Commentary obv. ii 1ʹ The readings in this line should be taken as tentative, though it is not clear how else a paragraph could end than with an ĪDE and geographic name. rev. iii 2 Without emendation, the positioning of the enclitic sentence particle ‑kan after Dunwašarruma would indicate that the name was clause internal, resulting in a singular subject of a plural verb. This would also leave the previous item without an associated personal name. Instead, since 〈SISKUR〉 is emended here on the basis of the anda iya- ‘to install’ and in analogy to the following line, Dunwašarruma should be the recipient of a small cook’s knife on the occasion of a ritual performed when Ištar of the house was installed. 6 Contra HVP (p. 265): “kupfern]e(s) Rohr(e), ŠEN has two readings at Ḫattuša: ŠEN in the sense ‘gutter, drain’ takes a GIŠ determinative, while an URUDU determinative indicates ‘kettle’ (see Lexical Commentary to URUDU ŠEN). 7 Contra HVP 700 (“ŠE-ER-DU Gen.! Sg.”), the alleged -DU is too different from the other DU-signs on the tablet, e.g., 5.1 obv. ii 12ʹ and rev. iii 2, to be read the same, while the reading -TE furnishes the expected sg. gen. ending. CAD Š₂ s.v. šērtu C (šīrtu) “bar(?) (as part of a locking mechanism)” translated this passage (pp. 326–37) as “a copper tube taken for the š.” However, as discussed in Lexical Commentary s.v.

translated as “cauldron, kettle,” and none demand a translation “gutter, drain” or “tube.” Indeed, the appearance of the URUD]UŠEN after the 14 wakšur vessels in rev. iii 5–6 suggests the items in rev. iii 7 are also vessels. In contrast, nothing particularly recommends reading URUDUŠEN as a “gutter” or “drain,” and a translation “copper tube” in the sense of “drinking straw” is not recommended since the regular word for drinking straw(s) in the PTAC is ŠUL.PÁT/ŠULPATU. Since it is difficult imagine how a cauldron or kettle (or even a gutter or drain) could be used as a part of locking mechanism, and since a translation of URUDUŠEN in rev. iii 6 and 7 as “copper tube” would be unique within the PTAC, one may suspect that ANA ŠĒRTE does not here mean “as a locking bar(?).” Since none of the other meanings of šērtu in CAD Š₂ (šērtu A “morning, tomorrow,” šērtu B “misdeed, offense”) fit the context, ANA ŠERTE will be left untranslated. The fact that the other recipients in the ĪDE texts are all of lowly rank suggests one of three interpretations for the Tudḫaliya of 5.1 rev. iii 11: either this is homonymous Tudḫaliya of lowly birth, or that it is not the king/prince Tudḫaliya himself taking the objects, but perhaps someone on his behalf who is identified in the text by their connection to him (the person’s name, title, and connection to Tudḫaliya lost in the break at the beginning of the line), or alternatively, that Tudḫaliya was himself the supervisor to the transaction, and thus an 〈I-DE〉 should be emended after his name.

5.2 KUB 40.95 Record of Disbursements of Mostly Raw Materials for Crafting Purposes, Tools, and Weapons under Supervision (ĪDE) Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 900 KUB 40.95 245.I (Ḫattuša) NH Upper, right edge of a two column tablet with a broad intercolumnium; densely written script with no word spaces. Kempinski – Košak 1977, 88–89 (obv. ii 1ʹ–18ʹ). HIT, 79–80. HVP, 266–71 (6.2)

Contents Lots of raw materials and objects followed by individuals or geographical or professional groups and the names of the high-ranking supervisors approving the transactions. Occasionally a list of objects to be crafted is given. Analysis 5.2 is another ĪDE text, distinguished from 5.1 by perhaps a greater focus on disbursements for crafting purposes. Remarkable are the large quantities of copper (1 talent in obv. ii 1, 5, and 13; 3 talents in obv. ii 6 and possibly obv. ii 2) and even tin (1[+n] talent(s) in obv. ii 6) provided for distribution. This fact makes 5.2 perhaps unique among PTAC, and indeed all Hittite administrative texts. As was touched upon in 2.4.2.1 Copper, Tin, and Bronze in Vol. I, the manufacture of bronze objects by Hittite palace dependents is nowhere attested in Hittite texts, despite ample archaeological evidence of tin-bronze production at Ḫattuša (Lehner 2015, 92). If it is assumed that the raw copper and tin disbursed to the “king’s parwala-men” in 5.2 obv. ii 6 were destined for the production and eventual return of bronze or bronze objects, then 5.2 is the only direct attestation anywhere in the Hittite administrative corpus of bronze possibly being acquired by the Hittite palace. Even so, it is not clear whether the copper and tin are to be returned. The copper objects listed afterwards in obv. ii 7–8 cannot be interpreted as returns, since these are clearly described as “given later” (obv. ii 8: EGIR-anda SUM-er) to the king’s parwala-men, i.e., as part of an additional, temporally subsequent transaction (see Lexical Commentary s.v. EGIR-anda). The inclusion of disbursement of the ingredients for bronze among other extramural allocations indicates that any process of crafting, if it occurred, would have taken place at a non-palatial workshop (otherwise one would expect to encounter bronze production and bronzesmithing among the other metal production texts edited in 4.1 Manufacturing Allocations).

Commentary obv. ii 1, 5, 8 For (n BIBRU) ½ BÁN NA₄NUNUZ, compare the translations of Kempinski and Košak 1977, 89: “rhyta of beads (containing) 1/2 BÁN of beads”; HVP, 269: “Rhyta Perlen (vom Hohlmass von) ½ BÁN Perlen”); and Polvani 1988, 56: “rhyta di pietra NUNUZ (con) 1/2 BAN (di perline) di pietra NUNUZ.” Of these, Polvani’s seems preferable, with the modification that the quantity of beads may simply be an additional, unrelated item handed out next to the preceding rhyta, and not necessarily contained by them. Another possibility might be that a “½ BÁN” vessel made of malachite is being handed out. 6 CHD P s.v. LÚparwala- (p. 200) interpreted, with Kempinski and Košak 1977, 89, LÚ.MEŠparwalaš LUGAL (EGIR-anda) SUM-er in 5.2 obv. ii 6 and 8 as “The p.-men gave (to) the king …” against HVP 269 “… gaben die parwalaLeute des Königs.” Both translations are problematic. Since the syntax of 5.2 is otherwise well marked, the form LÚ.MEŠparwalaš should not be lightly

interpreted with previous editions as a pl. nom., but rather as a pl. dat./loc. “to the parwala-men,” with SUM-er taking an impersonal 3 pl. subject. As a consequence, the LUGAL cannot be the indirect object of the sentence, and thus should be treated as a genitive. The resulting translation “they gave to the king’s parwala-men” is a much better fit for the text, since every other 3 pl. verb 5.2 takes an impersonal subject, and since all other groups mentioned in the ĪDE texts are recipients. The context of 1 talent of copper followed by smaller quantities of copper and objects obv. ii 13–16 suggests that the 1 talent of copper was “broken down” (arḫa duwarnai-) into smaller pieces for further processing, which were then listed by weight and the objects to be made. Since 6 minas would be a very large amount for a shaving razor, it is probable that the scribe left out the quantity of razors to be made. In obv. ii 15ʹ the ratio of minas to razors is 3:2, so 〈4〉 is emended here.

Bo 1046 KUB 60.3 245.I (Ḫattuša) NH Inner fragment of a two-column tablet with a very broad intercolumnium. Groddek 2006, 3–4 (translit. only)

Contents Weights of copper followed by lists of objects to be crafted. The names of the recipients and supervising officials are broken away. Analysis The contents of 5.3 recall the “ĪDE texts,” with broad intercolumnium, script, and focus on crafting (note the shared DÙ-anzi ‘they (will) make’ in 5.3 r. c. 6ʹ and 5.2 obv. ii 14, 16) all suggesting a join with 5.2: If a join, 5.3 would probably appear somewhere at the end of 5.2 obv. ii, perhaps even 5.3 r. c. 1ʹ = 5.2 obv. ii 18 (5.3 r. c. 1ʹ–3ʹ and 5.2 obv. ii 16–18 are the only lines in the ĪDE texts mentioning copper knives besides 5.4 r. c. 9ʹ), though an autopsy would be required to see if the pieces could fit together. Alternatively, it could be that a small gap existed between the fragments, so that 5.3 r. c. 1ʹ corresponded to what would have been 5.2 obv. ii 20 or 21. The 190 minas (= 3 talents, 10 minas) of copper are a large amount, but similar to the 3 talents of copper disbursed in 5.2 obv. ii 6. Transliteration l. c. 1ʹ 2ʹ 3ʹ 4ʹ 5ʹ 6ʹ 7ʹ 8ʹ

Commentary obv. ii 5 Contra HVP (p. 274): URU[D]U NUNUZMEŠ, the alleged NUNUZ clearly lacks the necessary final stacked horizontals, and is thus ÉRIN. Note that, although the entry for ÉRIN under HZL no. 328 (p. 254) lists the values “ÉRIN (‘NUNUZ’), NUNUZ, RÍN (‘NUNUZ’),” none of the forty-one legible attestations of NUNUZ in the PTAC is written without the final horizontals, i.e., as ÉRIN. Since the PTAC comprises the vast majority of attestations of NUNUZ ‘bead’, it may be surmised that the confusion of ÉRIN and NUNUZ was limited to the logogram GIŠ.ÉRIN ‘set of scales’, which could be written in Hittite cuneiform with the NUNUZ sign, i.e., GIŠ.ÉRIN(“NUNUZ”). rev. iii 5ʹ Compare 5.2 obv. ii 13 for arḫa duwarnai-.

Contents Modest lots of raw materials and objects followed by named individuals or anonymous geographical or professional groups and the names of the high-ranking supervisors approving the transactions. Analysis 5.7 presents another typical ĪDE text. The overseers unique to this text include the wellknown individuals prince Eḫli-Šarruma (Bilgin 2018, 162–63), Tuttu, the EN ABUSI ‘lord of the storehouse’ (Bilgin 2018, 315–17) – who is almost certainly not the same as the recipient Tuttu the LÚI[Š(?) in 5.5 rev. iii 7ʹ –, and mUR.MAḪ-LÚ, who is presumably the GAL DUB.SARMEŠ ‘chief of the scribes’ of the same name found elsewhere in the PTAC (Bilgin 2018, 252–55). mKI-DUTU, Piḫaššamuwa, and Alipiḫami are also attested as overseers, but are otherwise unknown outside of this text. Prince Ḫešni is attested as an overseer also in 5.1 obv. ii 9ʹ. The contents of 5.7 concern the distribution of large amounts of copper, both apparently as ingots and as finished items. In rev. iii? 9ʹ–10ʹ, smiths are again encountered processing copper ingots into smaller portions. Next to copper, the other theme of the fragment seems to be bows and arrows. One wonders if these were intended for warfare or for hunting.

Commentary rev. iii? 6ʹ The town of Watru, lit. ‘spring’, might be homophonous (or identical) with Wattar(u)wa, a town in central Cappadocia (Corti 2017, 235). 8ʹ, 25ʹ The explicit Akkadographic genitive forms shown in LÚṬĒME (rev. iii 8ʹ) and MUNUS.MEŠNAPṬARTŪTI (rev. iii 25ʹ) indicate that the Sumerograms (LÚMEŠ GN, LÚ.MEŠNAGAR, etc.) and fWattiyaš (rev. iii 28ʹ) should also be interpreted as genitives. 25ʹ MUNUS.MEŠNAP-ṬAR-TU₄-TI contains some kind of mistake. The expected form for a feminine genitive plural substantive is *MUNUS.MEŠNAPṬARĀTI. HVP (p. 280) and Groddek 2006, 2 interpreted the form as MUNUS.MEŠNAP-ṬAR-TUMTI, i.e., with the -TI interpreted as a plural marker. However, see now Weeden

2011, 346 fn. 1599, for commentary on the -TI “plural marker” phenomenon, where such forms are instead reinterpreted as either masculine adjectival plurals or “pseudo-abstracts” constructed with -UT-. Since there are no unambiguous attestations of plural marking with -TI(M) in the PTAC, MUNUS.MEŠNAP-ṬAR-TU₄-TI will be treated here as an adjectival declension with normal Hittite gender confusion. The LÚNAGAR SIG ‘fine woodworker’ is not attested anywhere else to my knowledge, but the signs are clear (compare traces to LÚ.MEŠNAGAR in rev. iii? 14ʹ) and the meaning seemingly transparent.

Contents Earrings and ornaments followed by mention of the É NA₄KIŠIB and an ĪDE phrase.

416/n KBo 9.91 245.III Büyükkale D (n/11) NH A small, pillow-formed one-column tablet written in a variable script with no space before paragraph lines. HIT, 24–29. HVP, 332–35 (8.1). Popko 2009, 16–17 (translit./ translat. rev. A 6ʺ–10ʺ, rev. B 1–8)

Contents Small to large lots of personal garments, drinking vessels, knives, and tools, most of which are in containers. The items are variously designated as intended for the garrison of Nerik, named persons, or deities. In one instance, the chest is explicitly labeled as containing ‘handouts’ (obv. 5: GIŠPISAN! parā SUM-uaš). Analysis 6.1 is an important text that bridges two categories. In form, the presence of lalameš ‘receipts’ and containers indicates it is a packing list, specifically for a royal journey occasioned by an upcoming celebration of the AN.DAḪ.ŠUM-festival in Arinna. In this way, 6.1 could conceivably be classified under 8. Transportation Texts. In contents, however, all of the items are gifts: to the garrison at Nerik, to the participants of the festival, and to the gods of the festival. The thematic unity suggests that the text was conceived as being fundamentally about handouts. Accordingly, it seems best to follow the lead of HVP (p. 328, “Zuweisung für den persönlichen Gebrauch”) and place the text under 6. Gifts and Handouts. As was recognized already by HIT (p. 27) and HVP (329–30), 6.1 can be divided into three parts. The obverse collects a string of packing receipts for chests containing items for the garrison at Nerik. Note that the translation of 6.1 obv. 5: lalameš ŠA GIŠPISAN! parā SUM-uaš as “receipt of a chest (containing) handouts” makes the purpose of the items explicit (cf. earlier HIT, 26: “Receipt of the chest for delivery”; HVP, 333: “Ausgabenbeleg des Behälters der Auslieferung”) – see further Lexical Commentary s.v.

(para SUM-uaš). The gifts include garments, knives, and drinking vessels for the garrison at Nerik. As already noted by HVP (p. 329), the varying qualities of the gifts seem to imply two groups of recipients. On the one hand are the officers, who received costly items with individual descriptions. It is probable that Šunaili, who is explicitly named as receiving a gold-hilted dagger with a rock-crystal pommel (see Commentary to obv. 10), was their chief. On the other hand are eighty (or ninety) troops, who received only a belt apiece. As was also pointed out by HVP (loc. cit.) the inclusion of belts among the handouts to the garrison is probably no coincidence, but rather recalls the manufacture of belts in the “IGI.DU₈.A texts” 4.1.4.1–4.1.4.6 (cf. however introductory Analysis to 4.1.4.1 for the crucial difference with HVP that the IGI.DU₈.A in these texts refers to the belts, and not the source of the wool; indeed, interpreting the belts in 4.1.4.1–4.1.4.6 as IGI.DU₈.A, literally ‘gifts’, makes them functionally the same as the items in 6.1 described as parā SUM-uaš ‘handouts’). As for when the gifts to the garrison were given, since Arinna was no more than a day’s march from Ḫattuša (Kryszeń 2016, 30–31, with prev. lit.) and thus nowhere near the far-northern city of Nerik, it must be assumed that the AN.DAḪ.ŠUM-festival was celebrated in advance of the visit to Nerik, which is difficult to explain given the order of the tablet, or that the Nerik garrison was in attendance at the festival in Arinna (cf. the presence of LÚMEŠ GN in other festivals). In the latter scenario, the gifts served a dual purpose as not only compensation but also costume: the belts for the serried ranks of troops marching in the festival, the finery and drinking vessels for the officers attending the banquets.

6. Gifts and Handouts

285

Rev. A begins with a further collection of festival clothes (rev. A 3ʹ), unfortunately in a broken context. Rev. B then interrupts upside-down relative to the rest of the text with a list of individual gifts for cult functionaries. As already noted by HVP (p. 330), the inclusion of the priests of Arinna in rev. B 1 and the appearance of “whoever wins by horse” in rev. B 4 virtually guarantees these were participants in the AN.DAḪ.ŠUMfestival at Arinna. After rev. B ends, rev. A resumes with a gift of a bracelet for the Storm-god and Sun-goddess of Arinna, sent directly from the smiths. The bracelet is similar to items found in the votive texts (see Vol. I, 8.14 Average Value and Significance of the Vow Objects, and especially Table 58: Object Weights in Minor Vows). It seems that just as the secular attendees (the garrison at Nerik) and sacred participants (the cult functionaries) received their gifts from the Palace, so too did the gods themselves. Rev. A then ends with a note that the king also brings with him, seemingly on his person, 100 shekels of silver. Since the purpose is not specified, this amount presumably meant to cover any general expenses remaining for the festival. Finally, on the left edge (and thus a continuation of rev. A) it is mentioned that the queen will “entrust(?)” a ritual of/for the “Great Deity,” DINGIR GAL (see phil. Commentary l. e. 1). This is followed by two mentions of a SISKUR taninumaš. The name of this ritual, a hapax, has been translated as “ritual of ordering” (HIT 27: “‘ordering’ ritual”; HVP, 330: “Ritual des Ordnens”), but there seems to be no reason not to translate it literally, i.e., as “the ritual of setting up”, referring perhaps the installation of a deity or a new cult arrangement promised in a votive offering.

III. Expenditure

Commentary up. e. 1 It is curious that in contrast to every other paragraph headed by lalameš ‘receipt’, there is no container mentioned in obv. 1. Did the ḫunipalazacloth somehow function as a container for the three shawls in obv. 2? obv. 3–4 Cf. the discussion of Rieken 1999, 471 “In der Genitivverbindung *ÉRINMEŠ ašandul-aš ‘Truppen des Besetzens’ konnte ašandulaš als kongruierendes a-stämmiges Adjektiv aufgefaßt werden oder bei Ausfall des Regens ÉRINMEŠ zum selbständigen Nominativ von ašandula- c. ‘Besatzungstruppen’ umgedeutet werden.” Here, ašandulaš is unlikely to be an adjective, since these normally precede their head noun (instances such as *ÉRINMEŠ ašandulaš result from logographic interference: GHL §17.10 [p. 273]). Instead, the phrase A‑NA LÚ.MEŠaruanna ašandulaš in 6.1 obv. 3–4, 18, 13, and 18 should probably be taken as an appositional construction: “to the Araunna-men (who are) the garrison of … ,” and hence ašandulaš as a noun in pl. dat.-loc. If the reading and restoration in obv. 19–20 are correct (see below), then the LÚ.MEŠaraunnaš URUnerik ašandulaš confirms the apposition in the underlying Hittite word order. Curiously, the phenomenon of an initial logographic/ansyndetic writing transitioning to explicit Hittite syntax by the end of the list occurs twice in 6.1, appearing again in rev. B 6–8. 4 The handcopy in KBo 9.91 incorrectly places ašandulaš in obv. 4. 5 See Lexical Commentary s.v. SUM (para SUM-uaš) for the translation of parā SUM-uaš as a genitivus quasi gerundivalis ‘handout(s)’ against HVP (p. 333) “Auslieferung” = ‘delivery’. This reinforces the general interpretation that 6.1 recorded royal largesse to the garrison of Nerik. 10 A strict interpretation of the syntax requires that Šunaili and Kannuwari belong to two separate clauses, since the enclitic personal pronoun -an must appear in Wackernagel position attached to the first word of a clause. Contra HVP (p. 331) this Šunaili is almost certainly not the knife’s smith: the example of Šunaili appearing in the same paragraph as Zuzuli in 10.1.1.1 rev.? 3ʹ–5ʹ is hardly probative that Šunaili was himself a goldsmith. Whether this Šunaili was the same individual as the LÚKARTAPPU attested in diplomatic service of the Hittite king at the Ugaritic court (Bilgin 2018, 243, 317) cannot be determined, but seems improbable. Instead, his position at the head the next line in unmarked case suggests he is the recipient of the immediately preceding knife. Conversely, the otherwise unknown Kannuwari, here explicitly in sg. nom. and followed by a 3 sg. acc. enclitic pronoun, must be taken as the agent of an unexpressed transitive verb, suggesting that he was the donator or manufacturer of the knife. 19–21 This paragraph seems to contain two instances of explicit Hittite syntax that can help inform the logographic or asyndetic writings of the previous paragraphs. In obv. 19, the kuwapi in second position can only be interpreted as belonging to a (determinate) relative clause: “receipt of the chest

where … are inside.” It is reasonable to assume that this construction also underlies the previous, asyndetic statements of “RECEIPT : CONTAINER : ITEM.” Second, in obv. 20–21, the missing ANA before LÚ.MEŠaraunna(š), the trace of a single horizontal at the end of the line, and the apparently reversed order of URUNerik and ašandulaš to be reconstructed in the break (unless the URUNerik was simply missing), all support an explicitly Hittite version of the appositional construction “for the Araunna-men (who are) Nerik’s garrison” that was suspected for the other instances of the phrase (see commentary to 3–4 above). The entire reverse shows traces of erasure in blank areas before and after rev. B. The photographs suggests a [UR]UPÚ-na rather than the alleged ḪUB-⸢na⸣ presented by the handcopy. HVP (p. 330) already correctly noted that the knives and sickles in rev. B 1–5 were not necessarily tools, but could also just be a unit of measurement (“eine Verkörperung eines bestimmten Wertes”). That being said, since it is known that the great temples of North-Central Anatolia were supported by large agricultural estates, the circulation of metals in that region in the form of sickles and knives might not be coincidental (it must be imagined that the yearly wastage of copper sickles and knives on these estates was fairly high). Perhaps this is why only the priests, the governor of Ḫallapiya, and the owner of the winning horse, all of whom would have been presumably important or wealthy enough to be supported by estates, received tools, while the zintuḫi-women and the ḫulpa-women received bronze bars and a cloth, respectively. Contra HVP (p. 355), the MUNUS.MEŠḫulpaš is unlikely to be a pl. nom. (expected *MUNUS.MEŠḫulpeš), and should instead be taken either as a pl. gen. (as HIT, p. 27), or as pl. dat.-loc. This means the subject of rev. B 8 is an impersonal “they.” Although the traces by no means confirm a d]a-, it is difficult to imagine another sign. There is perhaps enough space for one or two signs in the abrasion before the traces, allowing for an alternative restoration [pé-ed]a-an-zi. For āppa pai- with possible meaning of ‘to entrust(?)’, see CHD P s.v. paiB k 4ʹ bʹ (p. 52). In combination with 1c., which must be taken as a continuation of l. e. 1 (see below), it seems that the queen “entrusted” the ritual of the Great Deity to someone else the first time, whereas the second time she came with (l. e. 1c.: [2]-Ú(?) kattan u[izzi(?)]). If the SISKUR taninumaš “ritual of setting up” refers to the installation of a new cult (see introductory Analyis), then it seems the queen was involved with the introduction of DINGIR GAL – a deity normally associated with the HurroLuwian cultic sphere (Houwink ten Cate 1994, 255–59), with a major cultic center in the Kizzuwatna city of Arušna (Miller 2010, 510, 513–14) – to the northern city of Arinna.

1c.

This line begins at the tablet’s left edge but is oriented with text of rev. A. Since there is enough room below l. e. 2 for a third line, it would be curious if the text line were overflow from l. e. 2. Thus, it must be reconstructed that the scribe wrote l. e. 1 and l. e. 2, and then returned to add text to the end of l. e. 1, which continued onto the reverse. Against HVP (p. 334): GADA-an, there is no evidence for a common gender a-stem underlying GADA. Rather, cf. the rare attestations of a spelling kat-an for kat-ta-an ‘downward’ in other texts from the festivalcultic sphere: Kp 14/95 + obv. i 41; obv. ii 8 (Cammarosano 2018, 387) and KUB 24.5 + 9.14 obv. 30ʹ (Lorenz apud Rieken 2014, 51 fn. 4). The kat-an followed by ú- suggests a verb beginning with inseparable preverb ú-: the verb uizzi ‘she/he comes’ is only a guess based on context.

6.2 KBo 18.178 Fragment of an Inventory Showing Individual Outfits(?) with Accoutrements and Rhyta, Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

254/n KBo 18.178 245.III(?) Büyükkale H (u/17) NH A fragment from a wide, single-column tablet with minimal space before paragraph lines. HIT, 166–67. HVP, 434–35 (10.O)

Contents Garments, ornate weapons, and rhyta and protomes. Analysis HVP (p. 434) assigned 6.2 to the KASKAL series based on vocabulary, namely DÙG.GAN KÙ.SI₂₂ ‘golden sheath’ in 8.1.E(A₁) rev. iv(?) 16ʹ and kinuḫiš (a knife type) in 8.1.A obv. ii 10ʹ, and the presence of rhyta. However, these terms also appear elsewhere (a kinuḫiš is found in 6.13 5ʹ and a DÙG.GAN in 9.2.4 rev. iv 4). Furthermore, no caravan is mentioned in the text, despite the preservation of the ends of paragraphs and the end of the text where a KASKAL formula would be expected. There is thus no reason to include 6.2 among the transportation texts. Instead, since the paragraphs seem to contain individual outfits with accoutrements, the better category would be the 6. Gifts and Handouts, with 6.1 the closest comparison given the festival context suggested by the rhyta and protomes in 6.2 rev. 2ʹ–3ʹ.

Bo 6989 — 245.III (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from a small, lentoid tablet written in a messy script with a large uninscribed space in the middle of the tablet. HVP, 351–53 (8.7)

Contents List of chests containing personal garments described as handouts. Analysis 6.3 is a small, lentoid tablet with ample uninscribed space containing relatively few entries. Its format, including upside down text on reverse, contents, and language recall the larger and more complete 6.1, suggesting 6.3 was a hasty draft or precursor of this type of text. As with 6.1, the suggestion of HVP (p. 351) that 6.3 was an “Auslieferungsschein” should be modified now with the reinterpretation of parā SUM-uaš in 6.3 obv. 3 as “handout” rather than “delivery” (see Commentary to 6.1 obv. 5, and Lexical Commentary s.v. SUM (para SUM-uaš)). As with 6.1, it is still almost certain that the chests in 6.3 were being packed for shipment to somewhere, but this was indicated by the lalameš restored in obv. 3, rather than the parā SUM-uaš.

6.4 KUB 31.24 Fragment Recording a List of Handouts by Princes to Local Officials(?) Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 1475 KUB 31.24 245.III (Ḫattuša) LNH A small, one-column tablet written in a sloppy, highly variable script with minimal space before paragraph lines. Cordani 2016a, 1–5

Contents Lion’s heads of iron (ore), followed by princes’ names and recipients. Analysis The edition of Cordani 2016a was correct that 6.4 is an inventory fragment and not a cult inventory. However, meaningful interpretation of the fragment hinges on the restoration of obv.? 5ʹ, for which Cordani 2016a, 1 gave only: “]x-ri [ ] A-NA LÚ/LÚ x[.” Instead, the traces support mn]e-ri-i[k-ka₄-DINGIR-L]IM A-NA LÚGÌ[R.ARAD “N]eri[kkaili] to the go[vernor,” suggesting that the royal princes in this text are donating items, apparently decorative lion’s heads of iron (ore), to important local officials (see Burgin 2022, 122–23 for discussion of this text among the roles of the tuḫ(u)kanti‘crown prince’). The appearance of ḪAPALKI(N)NU, a term better attested in MitanniAkkadian, instead of the usual ḫapalki- or AN.BAR, is unexplained, but might suggest a northern Syrian orientation for 6.4 (perhaps the text was a communication from or to the chancery at Karkemiš?). Regardless of the political context, 6.4 can be placed clearly among the carefully orchestrated handouts of the Hittite state to dependents. The personal names are all sons of Ḫattušili III: besides Tudḫaliya and Nerikkaili, there is a prince Ḫanutti (van den Hout 1995, 199–203), who possibly served as a “Chief of the Chariot Fighters” (GAL KUŠ₇) (Bilgin 2018, 210–11).

Commentary obv.? 2ʹ Contra translation of Cordani 2016a, 1, the form MIZRĪ contains the Akkadian ‘nisbe’, or gentilic afformative -ī (GAG §56, no. 38), rendering a translation ‘Egyptian’ more probable than ‘Egypt’ (a KUR MIZRĪ is attested only once in the PTAC, in 1.5 obv. 5, versus the eight attestations of expected KUR URUmizri). 5ʹ For A- NA LÚGÌ[R.ARAD, the less probable reading is LÚDA[M!.GÀR ‘merchant’. However, the diagonal orientation of what should be a top horizontal wedge in DAM would require emendation, and in any event, distribution of items to merchants has no parallel in the PTAC.

6.5 KUB 42.59 List of Garments and Jewelry Handed Out(?) to Named Women, with Evidence of Attached Bullae Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description:

Previous Edition(s):

Bo 7908 KUB 42.59 245.II (Ḫattuša) NH A large, single-column tablet written in a dense, neat script with frequent mistakes and corrections and with no space before paragraph lines. Holes and string impressions on the edge indicate this tablet almost certainly came with attached bullae. HIT, 132–34. HVP, 336–43 (8.2)

Contents List of garments, textiles, and jewelry in variably sized lots, some of which are followed by women’s names. Analysis The small lots of garments and jewelry followed by personal names on the obverse and first lines of the reverse in 6.5 suggest handouts to individuals, but this is difficult to square with the single, large paragraph of garments and jewelry inscribed in a much smaller, much denser script in rev. 7ʹ–19ʹ. It can be tentatively suggested that 6.5 recorded the property of a very wealthy woman (note that the ḫapšalli-chair, a linen for which is mentioned in rev. 22ʹ, was used by women) and that the individual allotments belonged to, or were intended for, her named attendants. Whether the property was preexisting or conferred by the tablet as a grant is unclear. That the tablet shows evidence of attached bullae certainly suggests a handout from the palace, but there is nothing internal to the text to confirm this. Here a preserved colophon would have been even more useful than usual: a clearly identified purpose, combined with the preserved evidence of bullae, would have made 6.5 one of the most important texts of the PTAC.

However, since neither the handcopy nor the photograph shows anything below the wedge, and since no sign in Hittite cuneiform begins with only a single, high horizontal wedge, the traces are probably just another scratch on the very damaged tablet surface.

gram KÙ.SI₂₂ is unprecedented as an onomastic element (see discussion under fKÙ.SI₂₂-lia- in Lexical Commentary), the presence of a feminine personal name at the end of a line is not surprising given the pattern of the obverse. That the earrings are listed without a material follows the pattern of decreasing specificity on the text’s reverse: note that the cloths of rev. 4ʹ, 5ʹ, and 6ʹ also lack any names or color descriptors. Alternatively, it is possible that the scribe omitted the earrings’ material by accident: the *ḪI* of the plural determinative *ḪI*.A is written over an incomplete erasure, which still shows the feet of a pair of verticals. If these are not an *〈〈A〉〉* of the ḪI.A, then they could be the traces of a *〈〈KÙ〉〉*, suggesting the scribe had actually begun to write the material before realizing the

earrings required a plural marker. It would seem that he then forgot to reinsert the material. Contra HVP (p. 340): 2 TÚ[GGAD.DAM, there would be an excessive amount of uninscribed space at the end of the line if these leggings were resumed by the ŠÀ.BA 1 ZA.GÌN 1 SA₅ in 13ʹ. Although the syntax is ambiguous, the TÚGGÚ QA-DU GADA išpantas is more logically a “‘shirt-with-linen’ of the night” than a “shirt with ‘linen-of-the night’.”

Bo 7892 KUB 42.51 245.II (Ḫattuša) NH An interior fragment in a densely written script with no space before paragraph lines. HIT, 183. HVP, 344–45 (8.3)

Contents List of individual garments apparently forming complete outfits followed by the name or title of a member of the royal family from the era of Ḫattušili III/Tudḫaliya IV. Analysis 6.6 contains a list of garments that are presumably being handed out to the closest members of royal family. The presence of the royal family means that in this text, at least, it is surely impossible that the garments were being given as tribute. The text also provides two further interesting contributions. First, the text provides what is possibly the only textual attestation of Tudḫaliya IV as tuḫkanti: since Nerikkaili, the older brother of Tudḫaliya and holder of the office before and after Tudḫaliya, is mentioned by name in rev. 5ʹ, the tuḫkanti in obv. 2ʹ must either be Tudḫaliya or much less likely Arnuwanda III. Second, the appearance of Ḫenti in the list is the best evidence that there existed a Late New Kingdom individual of that name who was a daughter of Ḫattušili III (and presumably of Puduḫedpa?) and sister of Tudḫaliya IV (see discussion in Vol. I, 7.3 8.1.E(A₃): Evidence for a Royal Marriage?). Additional family members in the text include the queen (almost certainly Puduḫepa), Ewri-Šarruma, who was possibly a brother or half-brother of Tudḫaliya IV (see Bilgin 2018, 161–62), and the aforementioned Nerikkaili, the elder brother of Tudḫaliya IV.

Bo 2172 KUB 42.49 245.II(?) (Ḫattuša) NH A short, lenticular, single-columned tablet. HIT, 127–28. HVP, 347–49 (8.5)

Contents Modest lots of garments forming complete personal wardrobe followed by women’s names. Analysis It was tentatively suggested by HVP (p. 347) for 6.9 that: “[z]ieht man die im Inventurprotokoll [2.7.A obv. 6–9] aufgezählte und in der Struktur ähnliche Kleiderkollektion hinzu, welche die Frau Ašpunawiya gestiftet hatte, so ist man geneigt, dieses Bruchstück evtl. für ein Abgabenverzeichnis zu halten.” Now with the reinterpretation of 2.7.A obv. 6–11 as a single phrase (see philological Commentary to 2.7 ll. 8–15 and 13), the SUM fAšpunawiya “gift for Ašpunawiya” in 2.7.A obv. 9 is revealed to be a parenthetical comment applying to the immediately preceding blue cap, which is moreover given to, not received from, Ašpunawiya. With this, and with the reinterpretation of the IGI.DU₈.A texts as manufacturing texts for handouts (see introductory Analysis to 4.1.4.1), there remain no verifiable attestations in the PTAC of the palace receiving tribute from individuals. Indeed, since handouts to individuals are well-attested, and since it is unattested that the palace held private goods for individuals (outside of the limited case of precious metals discussed in the introductory Analysis to 4.1.1.1), it is much better to assume that the direction of exchange in 6.9 goes other way, so that the named individuals are receiving outfits from the palace. Grammatically, this means

that the expression ŠA PN in 6.9 obv. 5 (cf. also the same in 6.11 7ʹ and 6.13 9ʹ) must be interpreted as an objective genitive with an unexpressed regens: “(these things are) of (= intended for) PN.” The IGI.DU₈.A PN constructions in 4.1.4.4 and 4.1.4.5, while not an exact match, form perhaps the closest comparisons: these must also be interpreted as objective genitives: “gift (of) … ,” in the sense of “gift (given to) …” (cf. also SUM fAšpunawiya). Then, in 4.1.4.1 and 4.1.4.3 the IGI.DU₈.A portion is omitted and only the personal names appear, which in turn matches the construction consisting of just a free-standing personal names found in 6.9 obv. 9.

Contents Small lots of individual garments seeming to form complete personal outfits. Analysis The fact that a belt is noted as lacking in 6.10 6ʹ implies that each paragraph records a specific set of garments, with the small numbers suggestive of a complete personal outfit. This in turn suggests a connection with the handout texts – distribution to individuals being one of the few reasons for garments to be assembled into and recorded as personal outfits in the PTAC – with 6.6, 6.8, and 6.9 as the closest comparisons.

Commentary 3ʹ -t]i-wi₅-en-zi does not yield any recognizable form. It is possibly a mistaken **ḫatiwenzi for *ḫatiwitanzi ‘they (will) inventory’, or perhaps a hitherto unattested CLuw. nom. or acc. pl. of ḫatiwi- ‘inventory’. 7ʹ Besides being highly improbable according to the photograph, the reading TÚGka-ru-pa-la?-ni-i[t by Tischler 2016, 207 would adduce a new entry to the very small category of Hittite neuter t-stems (alternatively, a Hurro-Luwian borrowing in -i(t)- is imaginable, but the presence of the ‑t- would require the improbable solution that the garment in 6.10 7ʹ stands in an oblique case). Since a plene spelling for a final sg. nom./acc. n. is otherwise unattested in the PTAC, it seems the best solution is to read here a Sumerogram TUR. 8ʹ Tischler 2016, 207, following van den Hout 1990, 428, suggested a reading TÚG ]GÚ.È!, where GADA is interpreted as DU!, but in light of other attestations of TÚGGÚ BABBAR in the PTAC (cf. 8.1.E(A₁) rev. iv? 7ʹ; 6.9 obv. 2; 6.5 obv. 3ʹ, etc.) a reading without emendation seems simpler.

Bo 6581 — 245.II(?) (Ḫattuša) NH A small fragment from the lower left corner of a lenticular tablet. —

Contents Modest lots of (possibly raw) wool and leather objects, at least some of which are in containers, followed by personal names. Analysis 6.11 is exactly analogous in form (single-column lenticular tablet) and structure (small lots of objects, use of ŠA PN construction) to 6.9 – see introductory Analysis there for discussion of the ŠA PN phrase. In contents, the texts differ in that at least some of the objects in 6.11 are in containers, and it cannot be assured that they are all garments. The presence of gaši- ‘off-white’ and SÍG šarḫanuwam(m)a/i-, terms that are usually encountered with raw or not yet fully processed wool, suggests a disbursement of unfinished objects or raw materials.

21/n KBo 9.87 245.III(?) Büyükkale (ff/15–16) NH A small, heavily eroded fragment from lower left corner of a tablet. HIT, 23–24. HVP, 61 (2.1.8)

Contents Chests containing a large number of garments enumerated by type and color. Analysis The reading in 4ʹ of MUNUSSUḪ[UR.LÁ “lady’s ma[id” with HIT (p. 24) immediately after the container indicates that 6.12 records what is probably a handout of personal garments. However, contra HIT (loc. cit.), the chest should not be interpreted as the property of the MUNUSSUḪUR.LÁ (there is little to no evidence for personal property in the PTAC outside of the specific scenario of precious metals discussed in the introductory Analysis to 4.1.1.1). Instead, the contents of the chest were either entrusted to a particular lady’s maid, or intended for distribution to her. The possibility that GIŠPISAN MUNUS SUḪUR.LÁ designated a style of chest, a “maid’s trunk,” seems less likely. Transliteration 1ʹ ⸢80?

Commentary 1ʹ The handcopy shows a single vertical wedge (‘60’) followed by what seems to be an UD-sign before the TÚG. Consulting the photo suggests that the “ud” is actually two horizontally arranged Winkelhaken (‘20’), though the tablet is admittedly heavily eroded. 3ʹ Of the color words, only Ḫ[AŠ- fits traces, which preserve the beginning of a single horizontal wedge. 4ʹ Reading ⸢MUNUS⸣SUḪ[UR.LÁ with HIT (p. 24), against HVP (p. 61): GÌR! x[. The sign traces after the alleged GÌR! do not permit the restoration of any sequence known from other contexts to follow GÌR, e.g., NU.GÁL, UR.MAḪ, or ZU₉, and the SUḪ[UR proposed by HIT fits the traces perfectly.

7. VOTIVE GIFTS 7.1 KUB 34.87 A List of Votive Objects Owed(?) to Various Deities, Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description:

Previous Edition(s):

77/a KUB 34.87 248.III Büyükkale A (Room 4) NH A fragment from left-hand edge of tablet, written in a dense script with almost no word spacing and minimal to no space before paragraph lines. Rev. exhibits variable sign size and more space before paragraph lines. —

Contents Individual objects of precious metals with weights for various deities. Rev. contains what appears to be additional notes on vows. Analysis 7.1 represents a crucial text for Hittite administration: If interpreted correctly, it provides a missing link between the Hittite Votive Corpus (see Vol. I, 8. The Hittite Votive Corpus as Economic Texts) and the Palace-Temple Administrative Corpus. The difficulty of interpretation lies in the sparse level of notation in 7.1, consisting of not more than the name of an object, its material, its weight, and a designated god. The weights of the objects are similar to those observed in the Votive Texts, and on average approach the standard weight of one to two minas encountered in both the diplomatic texts (6.2.1.1 Commentary: The Standard Diplomatic Gift Package) and votive corpus (8.14 Average Value and Significance of the Vow Objects). Yet 7.1 is not a manufacturing text, since neither raw materials (“x minas of gold, for a y object …”) nor a verb of manufacture (“they will make”) are mentioned. Nor is it an inventory, since the generic level of description indicates that the objects probably have not yet been produced. Instead, the text may be interpreted as a list of votive obligations, presumably presented as extracts from the more descriptive texts promising gifts to the gods found in the Votive Corpus. The contents of 7.1 rev. support this interpretation, since the conditionals (rev. 7ʹ, and possibly 15ʹ) and direct speech (rev. 7ʹ; use of 1st person in rev. 11ʹ, 12ʹ) are better suited to a vow report. The change in script (more open and with

more sign-size variation) suggests that the contents of the reverse stemmed from a separate but related administrative act, either recorded at a different time or at the very least at a different pace than the solid, sober inventory-like list of the obverse. The combination of an inventory-like text and what seems to be a vow report on the same tablet might indicate that the distinction between the Votive and Palace-Temple Administrative Corpora was not as hard-and-fast as thought.

Commentary 8 The combination EGIR-anda išgar- suggested by HIT (p. 31) is not attested elsewhere, and the restoration in HVP (p. 398) of an-d]a iš-ga-ra-a-an ‘ist ei]ngesteckt’ is unlikely, since the combination of preverb anda + išgarai‘to insert, stick in (something)’ is fairly rare (as opposed the combination andan išgar- ‘pierced on the back’) and only appears outside of the PTAC: cf. Bo 3485, obv. 6–8 (par. KUB 17.26 obv. i 10–11; KUB 17.26 10–11; see Miller 2004, 134): nu x[ … ] 7 lingauš URUDU-aš an-da [ ] 8 [i]š-ga-ra-an-te[eš] “And the […] (and) the oaths are [s]tuc[k] in copper (var.: wool).” See also KBo 17.101 rev. iv 10ʹ–11ʹ: ⸢LÚ⸣.MEŠḫapiyašš=a=kan 11ʹ anda išgaranda “And (those objects) of the h. men are stuck in.” Instead, the end traces of a da- are identical to GUG, meaning that a carnelian bead is probably being described here; compare 9.2.2 rev.! iii 12ʹ: NUNUZ KÙ.SI₂₂ NA₄ iš-ga-ra-a-an ‘bead(s) of gold (and) stone, pierced’. 10 The BURU₅ ‘locust, grasshopper’ could also be read NAM ‘fate’ or possibly SIM(MUŠEN) ‘swallow’ (per MZL no. 134 [p. 277]), though one would prefer to have a MUŠEN postdeterminative for the latter. 32 HIT (p. 32) gave only ku-wa-x-x-x[, and the reading of HVP (p. 400) kuwa-ap-pár-x is not a recognizable lexeme. The reading ⸢ku-wa-al-maš⸣, while not fully secure, offers a connection with the kuwalmaš object attested in 8.1.E(A₁) rev.? 5ʹ: 1 ku-wa-al-ma-aš KÙ.SI₂₂ and 10.3.3 obv.? 10ʹ: 1 ku-wa-al-ma-aš KÙ.BABBAR, which is perhaps a denominal related to kūla‘chain-link’. 35–36 The Glossenkeile appear in the left margin before the beginning of these lines, and consist of three wedges (transliterated here as 𒑱*): cf. the same in 4.1.4.1.A₁ rev. vi 10ʹ. The Glossenkeil in 8.1.A obv. ii 6ʹ is very lightly impressed. Assuming it was meant to appear before a ŠÀ.BA, then it was probably a partially erased mistake.

The reading UN-QÚ ! follows HIT (p. 32) (cf. HVP, p. 400 UN-GÌ ). Consulting the photographs of the tablet shows that too much space separates the UN and the following sign to read the preserved single vertical wedge as GÌ (= DIŠ), suggesting that the horizontals of the expected QÚ have either eroded away or were forgotten by the scribe. The sequence GIŠPISAN GIŠḪI.A GAM G[(IŠE)SI(?) is difficult to interpret. As a descriptor of the material of the chest, GIŠḪI.A ‘woods’ is redundant, this already being indicated by the determinative of GIŠPISAN. It is perhaps the case that the additional plural GIŠḪI.A indicates that the chest was made of multiple types of woods, one of which was to be further specified. The restoration G[IŠESI(?) // G]IŠE[SI? ‘ebony(?)’, while amenable to the traces, is also based on the fact ebony is one the very few woods identified by name in the PTAC. HIT (p. 33) and HVP (p. 402) overlooked the clear beginnings of a ŠA sign at the end of 8.1.B rev. 7ʹ (which is admittedly obscured by cross-hatching in the handcopy). Moreover, even if it were not present in the duplicate, 8.1.A has not missed a KASKAL formula anywhere else, so there is no reason to assume it does so here. The handcopy suggests a reading wa-ak-š[i- at the end of 8.1.A obv. ii 29ʹ, with the seemingly extra wedges shown in the photo to be interpreted as damage. Contra HIT (p. 33) and HVP (p. 402 fn. 8, next to suggestion ‑š[i‑), a reading wa-ak-š[ur is impossible according to both the photo and handcopy. If wa-ak-š[i-at “[it is] absent” is correct, then the 100+ (probably 1 ME ⸢82⸣(?)) items in the preceding line should also be NÍG.GÍD.DA KÙ.SI₂₂ “gold wires/rods.” The fact that two of the nominal amount are noted as absent demonstrates that the chests came with attached documentation, against which the actual contents were checked.

It seems that 8.1.D has a different lineation from 8.1.A and 8.1.C. There is not enough room at the beginning of the line to restore [18 EME GÍR.GAL ŠÀ.BA 2 *T]UR* in 8.1.D obv. i 1ʹ. Though infrequent, it is possible to start a line with something other than a numeral: see the ŠÀ.BA at beginning of line in 8.1.A obv. ii 5ʹ, 8.1.F rev. v 6, and 8.8.A 8ʹ. The earlier reading of LIBIR in HIT (p. 33) is preferable due to space considerations compared to the gul-[ša-an-za ‘inscribed’ in HVP (p. 404), since the uninscribed space after the LIBIR/gul sign is too long to force a restoration in the break. The signs at the end of 8.1.C 3ʹ appear to have been written over an erasure, considerable portions of which are still visible. The erased sign in 8.1.A rev. v 9 looks very much like an a- or maybe a warped an- given the context see discussion of this passage under Vol. I, 4.6.2 Nexus 2: 8.1.A rev. v 4ʹ–11ʹ; 8.1.C 1ʹ–5ʹ; 8.1.D obv. i 1ʹ–10ʹ. HIT (p. 17) read in 8.1.C 4ʹ and in 8.1.D obv. i 3ʹ: AN.BAR SIG₅-an-da KASKAL, interpreting SIG₅-anda as a pl. nom.-acc. n. adjective “… (of) goodly iron,” while HVP (p. 404 fn. 13) took anda as an adverb anda KASKAL ‘In the caravan’. The latter seems preferable here on account of both the word spacing on the tablet and because the adjective SIG₅ never occurs with phonetic complement elsewhere in PTAC. The anda KASKAL phrase is presumably equivalent to a shortened form of INA KASKAL NAŠÛ sporadically found in 8.1.E. Number added right above paragraph line. See the section on “out of place numbers” in Vol. I, 4.5.5. Other Features. There are no easy translations for [1 GIŠPISAN] SA₅ SÍGpittulaš ŠU-aš in 8.1.D obv. i 8ʹ. Either the chest is endowed with woolen carrying straps and no contents (so HIT, p. 20; HVP, pp. 404–5, fn. 14, 16), or contains woolen carrying straps with no specification of quantity (so CHD P s.v. (SÍG)pittula[p. 365]). Preference here is given to the latter, since a chest containing twenty-seven leather straps is recorded just two entries earlier. As pointed out by the CHD (loc. cit.), the SÍGpittula- could appear in very large numbers, to the point that in 4.1.3.3 10ʹ, the SÍGpittulaš QADU 𒑱mariḫ[ši] are measured by weight (20 MA.NA) rather than number. Thus, the chest in 8.1.D obv. i 8ʹ probably contained a very large number of carrying loops, perhaps in sufficient quantity to cover the needs of the other chests of the caravan when time came for unloading at their destination. Restoring from D obv. 9ʹ, one would expect the numeral 57 in A rev. v 11, but the preserved traces do not allow this. The sign-traces could preserve -r]a-⸢aš⸣(?), perhaps representing the end of the phrase GÍR gi-im-ra-aš , but this is not at all certain, and would require a different order to the entries (though cf. lines 229–34 for another example of different order). For the moment, 8.1.A rev. v 11 will be taken as an extra line of text that cannot be matched with a duplicate in 8.1.D.

The numeral “16” appears below the line-of-writing, and displays a much shallower impression (probably added after clay had dried more). See the discussion on “out of place numbers” in Vol. I, 4.5.5 Other Features. As noted for the preceding line, 8.1.A might have the cook’s knives and field knives listed in reverse order. Examination of the photo shows the GAB MÁ la-wa-ri-i-iš of HIT (p. 34) and HVP (p. 406) to be non-existent: the wedges comprising the alleged GAB MÁ should be parsed instead as pé-el-, as already partially correct in HEG L–M s.v. lawari- (p. 47): “1 GIŠPISAN SA₅ TIL BI-el la-wa-ri-i-iš[(-) ‘1 vollständige rote Truhe; davon lawaris’.” However, contra HEG, the TIL ‘complete, fully’ should probably be read SUMUN ‘old’, and BI-el not as the Sumerogram of the distal demonstrative – which besides being unparalled in the administrative corpus, would also be the first and only attestation of the Sumerographic form in genitive – but rather as part of the following word, as suggested by the sign-spacing. The resulting pé-el-lawa-ri-i-iš yields a hitherto unrecognized lemma. The obvious restorations KÙ.BABBAR G[AR.RA and KÙ.BABBAR k[i-na-an-taaš are ruled out by the traces, which, if anything, resemble a G[Ú or perhaps U[RU. Assuming that the ŠA?] KASKAL-NI-kan and aniyan belong to the same sentence, the presence of the local particle -kan and the verb aniya- in the colophon of 8.1.A strongly suggests that these lines describe the circumstances of the tablet’s creation. Among the syntactic constructions for writing a tablet discussed by van den Hout 2016, only “-šan/-kan tuppi(ya) (dat.-loc.) iya-/aniya-/ḫazziye-/GUL-š- ‘to write etc. (something) on a tablet’” (pp. 427–29) and “-kan *tuppiyaz (arḫa) aniya-/GUL-š- ‘to copy (something) from a tablet’” (pp. 433–35) contain the necessary local particle. As suggested here with the restored ŠA?, it may be suspected that the subject of the sentence is a free-standing genitive: “(things) of the caravan,” referring to preceding contents of the tablet, and indeed the entire tablet series. These “(things) of the caravan” were then either “made” on a tablet – perhaps with the author being identified in the break – or “copied” onto the present tablet from previous records – perhaps GIŠ.ḪUR, which accompanied the chests (that items could be noted as absent, e.g. in A obv. ii 29ʹ, demonstrates that the chests came with attached documentation). Thus, although the restoration A-NA ṬUP-PÍ  (IŠ-TU GIŠ.ḪURḪI.A) is tentative, it fulfills the expectation that some sort of comment on the origin or editorial history of the tablet should be found in the colophon. The position of the two copper ANKURI(N)NU ‘lampstand(?)’ after the colophon suggests the items were added afterwards. Not only do they seem out of place, but they are also the only items associated with a personal name in the entirety of 8.1. The GAL sign could be interpreted either as “large” modifying ANKURI(N)NU, or read as a “cup” modified by AMAR: thus, a “cup (in the shape of) a calf” (although zoomorphic vessels are usually

referred to as BIBRU in the PTAC, cf. 4.1.1.2 for GAL being crafted in the shapes of various objects). If the latter, then a translation “lampstand (for a) cup (in the shape of a) calf” is possible: cf.: 1 URUDUANKURI(N)NU ANA 4 URUDU wakšur “one copper lampstand for 4 copper sixth vessels” in 3.1.1.A₃ obv. iii 9ʹ. Little can be done with the personal names. Amuna does not appear elsewhere in the administrative corpus. Kammaliya appears once as LÚ URU Tūmanna “man/governor of Tūmanna” in 5.1 obv. ii 8ʹ. HVP (p. 289) also pointed out the existence of a roughly contemporary Kammaliya who was Chief of the Cooks under Tudḫaliya IV. Thus, the ANKURI(N)NU might have been gifts from a pair of palace or provincial officials. If the hypothesis raised in the introductory Analysis of 8.1 that the text represented a dowry is correct, then these were perhaps additional gifts spontaneously contributed by the named individuals. The reading presented here for 8.1.E(A₃) obv. i 5ʹ requires emendation and should therefore be taken with caution. The emendation 〈〈NA〉〉 is fairly certain, being a plausible dittography from I+NA, and since no Sumerogram or Akkadogram presents itself. The ⸢É!?⸣ is less secure, and requires ignoring a Winkelhaken above the sign. In favor of doing so is the fact that the Winkelhaken is high above and outside the line of writing for the rest of the signs, perhaps being remnants of an erasure. Also, from context, one expects a storehouse or palatial institution: compare É.GAL karupaḫiaš in 8.1.E(A₁) obv. ii 7, 15 and I+NA É.GAL-LIM in 8.1.E(A₁) obv. iii 4ʹ. Of the storehouses and institutions, the É NA₄KIŠIB fits the traces the best (note that the handcopy incorrectly presents the traces immediately before the break as stepped horizontals, rather than the diagonal above a horizontal shown by the photo). This line might correspond to 8.3 8ʹ: GI/GIŠPISA]N(?) SA₅ MAN-TA-AT ⸢É?⸣.[GAL ka-ru-pa-ḫi(?). If the lines do correspond, it is unclear whether a GI/GIŠPISAN, a MAN-TA-AT, or both should be restored in the break at the beginning of 8.1.E(A₁) obv. ii 8. According to 8.1.F, the remainder of 8.1.E(A₁) obv. iii? 5ʹ must be uninscribed. Since 8.1.E(A₁) contains multiple erasures and other evidence of editorial intervention, this line was perhaps erased. For reading TÚG kar-ki-ši]-⸢liš⸣(?) MAŠ-LU in 8.1.G obv. l. c. 7ʹ, cf. TÚG kark]i-ši-liš(?) MAŠ-LU (8.1.K rev. vi? 8ʹ) and TÚG kar-ki-ši-li-iš MAŠ-LU (9.1.11 obv.? 6ʹ).

took TÚG as a predeterminative. The suggestion of HVP (p. 657) to read KAR.〈ZI〉TÚG seems less probable. See Lexical Commentary s.v. *šumrae-/*šumriya-. Contra HVP (p. 418), there is far too much space at the beginning of 8.1.E(A₁) rev. v 8ʹ, and far too little at the beginning of 8.1.E(A₁) rev. v 9ʹ to reconstruct 8.1.E (and 8.1.D) as following the same order of 8.1.H and 8.1.I. Whether or not 8.1.D/.E and 8.1.H/.I ultimately contained the same items, just in different order, cannot be determined. Reading of 8.1.F rev. v 5 following CHD L–N s.v. mannai- (p. 161), contra HIT (p. 11): ŠU.AN.NA(-)iš; HVP (p. 420): x-AN-NA-iš. The initial sign ma! can be described as either a šu missing its top horizontal (a permissible variant according to HZL) or as a ma or ku with an improperly extended lower horizontal. HVP 412 fn. 28 argued for reading ŠU.AN.NA based on similarity to ŠU.AN.NAKI ‘Babylon’, though this is made difficult by the absence of the KI postdeterminative. The reading of the CHD is now confirmed by two other attestations of mannai- attested in the PTAC: 11.6.1 6, 12.1.3 5ʹ, with the former also describing a chest, and the latter with the exact same form of the ma-sign. Apparently the scribe of 8.1.F uses -ŠÚ in rev. v 8 as an idiosyncratic alternative to TAPAL ‘set’. The same construction is also found in 8.8.B l. c. 1ʹ. As explained by GHL §9.36 (p. 163), the -ŠU is used for sets of a specified number: n₁-ŠU of n₂ objects “n₁ sets (each consisting of) n₂ objects.” The 6-ŠÚ in 8.1.F rev. v 8 is presumably to be read 6-ŠÚ (1) TÚG ikkuwaniya “6 sets (each consisting of 1) Ikkuwanian garment.” HIT (p. 11) and HVP (p. 420) both transliterate 125, arriving at this number using the sexagesimal place-notation (Sp) system (the number would be transliterated 2,5 – i.e., 2 × 60 + 5 = 125 – according to modern conventions described in Friberg 1987–90, 531–32). However, the Sp system is attested nowhere else in the PTAC, and is in fact restricted almost exclusively to mathematical texts in this time period. Instead, the sequence 2 5 reflects the occasional practice in the PTAC of writing subquantities (in this case 2 of the previous group of Ikkuwanian-cloths) and qualifiers (both 5 “one-ells” in length) next to each other in asyndeton: see 2.17 obv.? r. c. 12ʹ–13ʹ: A-NA 2 3 GIŠ.BAR.KÍN “on 2 (bows), 3 overlays” and 9.1.5 rev.! 16ʹ: 2 GIŠŠU- RE-EN-NU ŠÀ.BA 1 2 GIŠ.KÍN “2 emblems, among which 1 (with) 2 overlays.” Contra HIT (p. 11) and HVP (p. 420), none of the expected Winkelhaken of the [Š]À are preserved, and the alleged BA of [Š]À.BA is revealed in the photo to be a -ma. N. The -ma is therefore probably the enclitic contrastive conjunction, contrasting with the nu at the beginning of F rev. v 9. Only the heads of three vertical wedges are preserved for the numeral, but given the six Ikkuwanian-cloths in 8.1.F rev. v 8, a number 4 can be assumed.

The phrase 1-ŠÚ kitkar ḪI.ḪI-natar “once at the head, (wool-)blend,” presumably refers to the construction of the preceding belt. The 1-ŠÚ multiplicative implies some sort of verbal action, taken here as the act of applying MAŠLU ‘pattern, embellishment’. Thus, the belt was patterned once, or with one layer, at its “head” (= closest to the clasp?) with ḪI.ḪInatar cloth. For 8.1.F rev. vi 1–2, HIT (p. 12) transliterated ] BAR.DUL x[ ] SAL.L[A 2 ] BAR.DUL URUni-nu-wa, whereas HVP (p. 422) gave ] ⸢D⸣IŠTAR A[MA(?) o ] SAL.LU[GAL(?) 2 ] ⸢D⸣IŠTAR URUni-nu-wa. Examination of the photos show HVP’s reading to be substantially correct, with the minor changes that the AMA is virtually certain and that there is probably only word space between the AMA and MUNUS; the reading MUNUS.LU[GAL(?) remains less certain. The first half of the lines 8.1.F rev. vi 9–11 represent the fruits of a join discovered while collating the tablets at the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara. This tiny piece confirms the trend of the final columns of the “textiles tablet” represented by 8.1.F, namely a shift away from clothing and towards larger household or cultic objects. The appearance of Ištar of Lawazantiya, the personal goddess of Puduḫepa, helps date the text to the queenship of Puduḫepa (see Vol. I, 8.2 Dating Criteria of Vows in Detail and 8.2.2 Ištar of Lawazantiya for more detail). For reading d]a-an-za, see 8.1.E(A₁) obv. ii 8. Cf. n TÚGm]aš-ši-aš ŠÀ.BA 12 TÚG ÉRINMEŠ in 11.1.7 6ʹ. EGIR-anda probably introduces a new clause here, since it would be difficult to construe it in syntactic relation to the preceding ŠA KASKAL-NI.

Analysis Although, per HVP (p. 532), “‘blaue Gamaschen’ in fast jeder Textgruppe vorkommen können,” in practice, the combination “blue leggings” occurs in only a handful of texts (2.7.A, 6.5, 6.8, 6.9, 6.10, 8.1.D, 8.1.K). A join with most of these is ruled out by either format (2.7.A and 6.9 are single-column) or the orthography of the DAM sign (2.7.A, 6.5, 6.8, 6.10, and 8.1.K all show the younger form of DAM with protruded interior horizontals, whereas only 6.9 and 8.1.D shows the older form with a deeply inset second middle horizontal found in 8.2). This means that of all the texts with “blue leggings” in the PTAC, only 8.1.D is both a multicolumn tablet and displays the same rare, older orthography of DAM as 8.2. If 8.2 is a indeed a join to 8.1.D, this would reveal that the KASKAL Main Text was probably composed, at least in part, at Temple 1. Transliteration l. c. 1ʹ

It is possible that 8.3 was a two-column predecessor to 8.1.E(A₁), of the type represented by 8.1.C and 8.1.D (see Vol. I, 4.7 Editorial Layers in the KASKAL Main Text), thus explaining the slightly differing contents and possibly lineations of the texts.

obv. 2ʹ–7ʹ and 8.1.E(A₁) obv. ii 4–14 are related, the outstanding problem becomes how to understand the items described in 8.3 obv. 5ʹ–7ʹ as MAN-TA-AT ⸢É?⸣.[GAL karupaḫi(?) (restoration based on the É.GAL karupaḫi in 8.1.E(A₁) obv. ii 7, 15). Evidence from elsewhere in the PTAC shows that palatial institutions had at least two forms of relationship with tribute. The first is as producers of tribute, as in the text pair 4.1.3.1 and 3.2.1, where representatives of palace institutions receive wool (4.1.3.1) and returned finished products described as tribute (3.2.1) – i.e., “tribute” in the form of labor (cf. also 3.2.4 2ʹ: MAN-TA-AT É.[…). The second is as storage sites for tribute, as was argued in the introductory Analysis to 3.1.1, where incoming tribute from third-parties was distributed to various palatial institutions around Ḫattuša for storage. The garments of 8.3 obv. 5ʹ–7ʹ could conceivably be of either type: On the one hand, the É.GAL karupaḫi is attested in 4.1.3.2 as receiving large amounts of colored wool under supervision of the queen, implying that it might have functioned as a production site. On the other hand, the variety and numbers of garments in 8.3 are suggestive of preexisting luxury goods retrieved from storage, rather than recently produced items, which tend to be all of one type (cf. the “belt production” texts of 4.1.4.1 – 4.1.4.6). In this scenario, which is preferred here, the MAN-TA-AT ⸢É?⸣.[GAL karupaḫi(?) would be translated: “tribute (retrieved from) the [palace store]house(?).” In either scenario, it can safely be reconstructed that some of the items in the KASKAL Main Text were drawn from tribute, whether recently produced or retrieved from storage from various palace institutions. It makes sense that the impressive wealth of what is tentatively hypothesized as a royal dowry (see Vol. I, 7.3 8.1.E(A₃): Evidence for a Royal Marriage?) would require drawing on its manufacturing capacities or state reserves – or in all probability both.

Analysis With HVP (p. 393), 8.4, a text otherwise indistinguishable from a rough draft of an inventory, is to be included among the other transport texts based on the fortuitous preservation of EGI]R KASKAL-NI in the colophon-like final line of lo. e. 23ʹ. What this phrase means is unclear in the absence of a parallel, but a translation “of(?) the ‘retu]rncaravan’” is not unimaginable (HVP, 429 offered only a literal: “na]ch dem Wege,” with no interpretation). Would this make 8.4 one of the types of documentation mentioned in KUB 13.35+ (CTH 293 – Legal Proceedings against Ukkura), namely the sealed 𒑱dušdumi- (obv. i 5)/GIŠLEʾU 𒑱dušdumašša (obv. i 16)/GIŠLEʾU (rev. iv 36) or the 𒑱lalami(obv. i 5; rev. iv 40) that were expected to accompany Ukkura on his round-trip to Babylon? It is significant that in that text, Ukkura was required to reseal the GIŠLEʾU for the return trip (see narration of events in rev. iv 35–42), implying that it contained different information than was written for the outward leg of the journey. Otherwise, of the various terms for tablets, the format of 8.4 most closely resembles that of 6.1, a handout text which explicitly labels the contents of its paragraphs as lalami-. In terms of form and contents, the detail with which the items of 8.4 are recorded is above average (groups broken down by characteristics and material, subcomponents of individual pieces sometimes described), but does not rise to the level of the 9. Complex Inventories. The items are not recorded as being in chests. However, it is possible that the four chests mentioned in rev. 19ʹ were planned to be the containers for the objects of the preceding paragraphs, or perhaps the entirety of the tablet, especially since four chests would be an excessive number for the handful of objects preserved in the single paragraph of rev. 16ʹ–19ʹ. Despite there being no reason to suppose that the specific caravan attested in 8.4, whether a “return caravan” or otherwise, had anything to do with the caravan of 8.1 (no overlap can be discovered in their contents), 8.4 is nevertheless useful as a representative type of the sorts of one-column tablets from which the later editorial layers of the KASKAL Main Text were formed (see discussion of the text in Vol. I, 4.2 Defining the KASKAL Series and 4.7.1 Single-column tablet).

Commentary rev. 6ʹ Contra transliteration of Starke 1990, 208 (la-li-ni-tạ!), traces are better read *NA₄*. See also 11.1.2 l. c. 2ʹ: NA₄(?)]x-ta-ri-an-za. 9ʹ HIT (p. 149) transliterated EME x AŠ.ME, while HVP (p. 426 fn. 44) suggested EME.DIR AŠ.ME, “2 Paar (von) Votivscheiben (mit Ornament in Form von) Eidechse.” However, the photo shows a clear ŠAP-sign (PA.IB) rather than EME (KA×ME). The traces of the second sign begin with an indented upper horizontal, which is not expected for SA₅/DIR. Unfortunately, no reading presents itself. 11ʹ Examination of the photograph shows that the traces after NA₄ compose the latter half of an EN-sign, and not an unknown/unreadable stone “NA₄x.” It can be reconstructed that the scribe originally wrote the first two signs, “pé-en-”, of penkitaimmiš before realizing he left out the preceding NA₄. His solution was to convert the PÍ-sign into an NA₄ (comparison of the PÍ and NA₄-signs on the tablet shows that their general shape is very similar in the scribe’s somewhat idiosyncratic, ‘cursive’ hand). He then incompletely erased the EN-sign before starting the word penkitaimmiš again. The phrase “in the land of Egypt” does not make much sense, but I see no alternative to the cuneiform: the AŠ-sign is separated from the previous word by ample space and placed almost immediately before the KUR. 13ʹ Contra HIT (p. 149): URUz[a-ga]-pu-ra, HVP (p. 426) URUx[ o-]pu-ra, the traces can be clearly read as the beginning of a ka- (see ka in ka-lu-up-pa-

8.5 KBo 18.160 Fragment of an Inventory of Weapons, Tools, and Equipment for a (Military) Expedition(?), Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

1281/v KBo 18.160 249.V Büyükkale (bb/17) NH An interior fragment from a multicolumn tablet showing a simple column divider, regular spacing before the paragraph lines, and occasional large, uninscribed spaces. HIT, 102–3. HVP 130–31 (2.2.2.5)

Contents An enumerated inventory divided into modest lots of weapons, tools, and drinking vessels made mostly of copper. Analysis HVP (pp. 130–32) tentatively classified 8.5 as an Inventurprotokoll based on the thematic unity of large numbers of copper items and the presence on an explanatory remark in rev. iv(?) 6ʹ, but offered no motivation for the text. However, just as 8.4 was classified as a transport text based on its final line, it seems that now, with the restoration of l]a?-ah-ḫi “on/for the campaign” (see Commentary to rev. iv(?) 6ʹ), 8.5 in fact documents supplies gathered for an expedition that was possibly military in nature. This is somewhat surprising, since texts connected with military activities are exceedingly rare among the PTAC, but better explains the combination of weaponry and tools on the tablet. Interpreting the text as a packing list for an expedition might also help explain an unusual formal feature of the text, namely the large, uninscribed spaces: The closest parallel to this layout is found in the 8.1, the main text of the KASKAL Series, and specifically in the intermediate and final drafts (see discussion in Vol. I, 4.7.4 Threecolumn tablet (intermediate draft) and 4.7.5 Three-column tablet (final draft)), which are also written on multicolumn tablets with simple column dividers. It seems, then, there was a specific layout for texts connected with journeys and expeditions. This is perhaps not unexpected, given the amount of travel the royal family would have undertaken from year to year. If 8.5 (and thereby 8.6 and 8.7) is not accepted as a transport text, then it should be moved to 11. Inventory Fragments, perhaps to a new subcategory of “Inventory Fragments of Tools and Weapons” matching the new CTH 249.V. The level

If instead a personal name is to be restored, then perhaps the lots of copper tools and weapons were distributed to various members at the start of the expedition. 3ʹ, 5ʹ It is not at all clear how the “3 copper” and “1 copper” should be interpreted. It seems unlikely the scribe made two mistakes in a row. HVP (p. 131) suggested “Kupfer(barren?).” rev. iv(?) 5ʹ Contra HIT (p. 102) [mpí-ḫ]a?-an-nu DUB.SAR, HVP (p. 131) “m…]x-annu, Schreiber,” the preserved traces before the break, consisting of what is probably the lower head of a broken vertical, do not match any known scribe name ending in -annu. Of the physical objects ending in -an-nu in the PTAC, only KANḪANNU ‘(lidded) box’ fits the traces and context. 6ʹ The ending -Vḫ-ḫi (or -Vḫ-ḫa-, if in sg. dat.) is exceedingly rare among Hittite nouns. The options are further limited by the preserved traces, showing a vertical preceded by a non-intersecting, very low horizontal (the cursive hand makes the horizontal appear somewhat slanted, but compare, e.g., DUB in rev. iv(?) 5ʹ and esp. URUDU in rev. iv(?) 2ʹ). Assuming a syllabic value, the only CV signs fitting the traces are la-, ki-, di-, zé-, šu-, and tu-. A search of Jin Jie 1994 reveals no viable i-stem nouns, common or proper, that can be formed with these signs plus -Vḫḫi. Of the astem nouns, only laḫḫa- ‘(military) campaign’ makes sense in sg. dat. here: see also CHD L–N s.v. laḫḫa- 1.a.2ʹ, 1.b.2ʹ, 1.c (pp. 4–5) for verbs with laḫḫi in sense of “on campaign.” Although laḫḫa- can have the neutral sense “journey, expedition,” a military campaign would explain the large number of weapons and tools inventoried in the text. Contra HIT (p. 103) “brought back,” HVP (p. 131) “zurückbrachten,” per discussion in Lexical Commentary s.v. EGIR-anda, the combination EGIR-anda + peda-/uda- can only have a temporal sense “to bring later, afterwards.” In the other attestation in the PTAC, the phrase seems to designate objects that were added at a later time, perhaps between drafts of the inventory.

8.6 ABoT 1.54 Fragment of an Inventory of Weapons, Tools, and Chariots (Join to 8.5?) Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

AnAr 6973 ABoT 1.54 249.V (Ḫattuša) NH An interior fragment of a multicolumn tablet showing a simple column divider with minimal space before the preserved paragraph line. HIT, 18–19. HVP, 132–35 (2.2.2.6)

Contents An enumerated inventory of large numbers of weapons, tools, and chariots. Analysis 8.6 is another list of objects themed around weapons and tools. With HVP (p. 132), 8.6 should be associated with 8.5 based on contents (both texts contain a large number of copper objects), style (the EGIR-anda phrase), and format (columns separated by a simple line: a not exceedingly common feature according to the list of such tablets given by Waal 2015, 197–98). An indirect join is highly probable between the tablets, but no orientation or arrangement can be proposed. Since it is argued that 8.5 should now be reclassified as a transport text (see introductory Analysis), then so should 8.6. However, the fact that some of the tools are weighed in 8.6 (l. c. 8ʹ, 10ʹ, 11ʹ) gives pause, since this is a feature normally found in the tribute lists as a quality-control measure. Perhaps some of the items gathered for the expedition were drawn from recent tribute? This would certainly match one of the proposed purposes for the standardized axes and sickles, namely, that they were meant not only as measurement units of copper, but also as value-added objects in the form of useable tools (see introductory Analysis to 3.1.1).

9ʹ of whi[ch 10ʹ … [ Commentary l. c. 2ʹ HVP (p. 132 fn. 1) proposed Š]U?-RI-A-AM, and connected the term to Akkadian šūriāʾu. CAD Š₃ s.v. šūriāʾu (p. 344) defined the word only as adjective with meaning unknown, known from a single context from Nuzi where it modifies šētum ‘net’. The presence of nets in l. c. 5ʹ and r. c. 2ʹ make the reading of HVP attractive, but the traces at the beginning of r. c. 2ʹ do not support the reading Š]U- without emendation. 4ʹ The reading of HIT (p. 18): ]-u RI-KUM ‘… empty’ is semantically unexpected. The reading of HVP (p. 132): ]U-RI-QUM ‘gold alloy’; with note (p. 132 fn. 2): “Evtl. auch akkad. (w)urrīqum, AHw 1487 a, 1. eine Goldlegierung, 2. ein gelber Stein, zu erwägen?” is initially more promising. However, of all the cited forms in CAD U/W s.v. urrīqu (p. 242) or AHw s.v. (w)arqu(m) (p. 1470), none are written with a single r, save for a single example from the RS Forerunner to Hh. XVII: AHw (loc. cit.): “Ug. Ú.SAR = [ú?]-ri-qu MSL 10, 112, 136 Fehler?”; CAD (loc. cit.): “The ref. Ú.SAR = ⸢ú⸣-ri-qu MSL 10 112:136 (RS Forerunner to Hh. XVII) corresponds to the standard version’s SAR = ár-[qu] Hh XVII 245; both belong s.v. arqu s.” Furthermore, all other uses of “yellow/green” in the PTAC are written with the Sumerogram SIG₇ or Akkadogram ḪAṢARTU, whereas (W)ARQU is completely absent. In summary, the form uriqu ‘yellow, green’ with one r is known only from a single lexical list from Ugarit, and there it is spelled with ú and not u. This makes its reading in 8.6 l. c. 4ʹ unlikely. Since, as conceded by HVP (loc. cit.), the traces at the beginning of the line are unclear, the word will be left untranslated. 5ʹ If 8.6 is a join to 8.5, and if 8.5 indeed concerns a military expedition, then the presence of “nets (for catching) hares” in 8.6 l. c. 5ʹ could represent equipment for catching wild game for sport and/or provision on the march. 6ʹ For ŠU-ŠI-aš, cf. HVP (p. 132 fn. 4): “Evtl. ŠU-ŠI 1 zu lesen? Diese Schreibung für ‘1’ allerdings in Boğazköy ungewöhnlich.” GHL, Ch. 9 “Numbers” (pp. 153–72) offers no possible explanation or motivation for ŠU-ŠI ending in a phonetic complement ‑aš. Perhaps the -aš should be emended as a mistake? 7ʹ Per discussion in Lexical Commentary, s.v. EGIR-anda, the combination EGIR-anda + peda-/uda- can only have a temporal sense “to bring later, afterwards.” 8ʹ Cf. 3.1.7.A₂ obv. ii 6ʹ, 8ʹ where each ‘great sickle’ weighs two mina. The number of sickles is not fully preserved, but if the last digit is a ‘6’, then it is either a mistake, as is assumed here, or it means that the weight of

the individual sickles was not standardized: cf. also the difference between nominal and measured weights of objects in the tribute lists, in e.g., 3.1.1.A₁ obv. ii 13ʹ-15ʹ, where among 100 axes with the nominal weight of two minas each, it is noted that the total comes to only 199 minas and 12 shekels, so that 28 shekels ‘are lacking’ (wakkari). The arrangement of wedges given in the handcopy does not yield a recognizable sign before -ta-wa-na-aš, and no photo is available. If URUDUKIN.GAL weigh two minas, it is probable that URUDUKIN weigh less, leaving the number to be restored uncertain. For discussion of the various heterograms of Hittite chariots and wagons, see Weeden 2011, 237–38. The traces at the end of r. c. 4ʹ do not permit a number (unless Š[U-ŠI is to be restored) that would indicate the start of another group of objects, and the presence of another set of GIŠGIGIR in r. c. 5ʹ makes a qualifying word for the first wagons appropriate. Of the varieties discussed by Weeden, only GIŠGIGIR TUR and GIŠGIGIR MADNANU are permitted by the traces, with T[UR being the more amenable of the two.

Analysis The contents of 8.7 recall 8.5 and 8.6, but the different format (narrow intercolumnium) prohibits a join. If not a transport text, then 8.7 might be classified with the “Inventory of Šuppiluliuma” (9.1.10) and related fragments (9.1.11–9.1.15) based on the large quantities of military equipment.

Contents Small to large lots of garments and cloths, including horse tack, enumerated by color and construction, some of which are in chests. Analysis HVP (p. 431) assigned 8.8 to the Transportverzeichnisse genre based on the range of textiles and the appearance of simple column dividers in 8.8.B. Such a classification cannot be ruled out, but neither is it confirmed by such criteria. Indeed, the level of detail, verbosity, and explicit syntax (e.g., the 1-NU-ma … 1-NU-ma … construction in A 5ʹ–6ʹ) are reminiscent of a complex inventory, and other genres also show simple column dividers (cf. 2.9, 2.12, 2.16, 3.1.5, 4.1.3.4, 4.1.4.2, 10.1.2.1 (rev.?), 10.2.2.3, 10.3.10, 10.3.11), suggesting that additional reasons for classification should be sought. To this end, the fact that some items are in containers is promising. However, even here it must be noted that some of the items were not packed in chests, as seems to be the case in B r. c. 4ʹ–8ʹ. In addition, the chest in A 1ʹ//B l. c. 1ʹ would need to be exceedingly large to contain all of the items subsequently listed, suggesting that not every item in that paragraph was contained (perhaps more containers were listed in missing text at the end of lines, but this would be exceptional for the transport texts). A better criterion for classifying 8.8 as a transport text is the inference that the stark differences in enumeration between the copies in A 8ʹ//B l. c. 8ʹ and A 9ʹ//B l. c. 9ʹ required a physical manipulation of the objects recorded: Since 8.8.B is by all visible features the earlier, less-polished draft, the numeric discrepancies in 8.8.A suggest that the items were

Previous Edition(s):

Bo 2613 KUB 12.1 246.I.1 (Ḫattuša) NH A large, two-column tablet with a broad intercolumnium, written in a neat script with minimal word-spacing, variable amounts of trailing space at end of lines, occasional overruns into intercolumnium, and little to no space before paragraph lines. Košak 1978, 99–123. HVP, 441–52 (11.1.1)

Contents An inventory of small lots of luxury items, including cloth, garments, jewelry, knives, statues, drinking vessels, and offering implements, some of which were stored in containers, and with incidental notes on condition. Analysis The “Inventory of Manninni” is of outsize importance to the research history of Hittite economic administrative texts since it was one of the very first to receive a full text edition (Košak 1978). Even before its edition, the text was frequently referenced on account of its rich variety of vocabulary, and especially its Luwianized forms (note the explicit use of Luwian declension patterns rev. iii 18ʹ, 20ʹ, 34ʹ; rev. iv 26ʹ, 31ʹ, 43ʹ, 44ʹ), and since its edition, the text has been widely recognized as a highpoint among the Hittite inventories. Yet the question of the identity of Manninni, the inventory’s namesake, has never been adequately answered. Carter (1962, 15), Košak (1978, 99), and Giorgieri – Mora 2012, 657 argued, based almost exclusively on the colophons of 9.1.1 and 9.1.9, that ḫatiwi- referred to specifically to a “personal inventory,” i.e., an inventory of goods in the private possession of an individual. This claim is difficult to reconcile with the other attestations of ḫatiwi- and its denominative hatiwitai- (see Lexical

Commentary s.v. ḫatiwitai-), and was rightly rejected by HVP (441 fn. 2) and van den Hout (2006, 87 fn. 55). Instead, it is more straightforward to interpet Manninni in the same way as most personal names are interpreted in the context of colophons, i.e., as the administrative author of the text, in the sense of the contributor of the original authorial intent. Yet there are no individuals named Manninni attested as administrators in the Hittite Late New Kingdom (or in any period for that matter). Thus, 9.1.1 presents a conundrum: it presents one of the finest, most detailed inventories in the Hittite corpus, moreover one of the very few signed with a colophon, and yet it was written by an administrator who bore no title and appears nowhere else in the extant administrative corpus. It is hypothesized in Burgin 2022 and in the introductory analyses to the individual texts of 9.1 Named Complex Inventories below, that the named authors – Tudḫaliya, Arnuwanda, and (possibly) Šuppiluliuma, all of whom share the problem with Manninni that they cannot be connected with any Late New Hittite Kingdom administrators – were in fact Tudḫaliya IV, Arnuwanda III, and Šuppiluliuma II during their tenures as tuḫ(u)kanti- ‘crown princes’. This would explain a number of features of the named complex inventories: the surprising preponderance of royal names, the absence of administrative titles (or indeed any titles) appended to the names, the occasional accompaniment/co-signing of professional administrators (9.1.4, 9.1.9), and perhaps the special level of care and detail exhibited by the inventories. The question then becomes, who was Manninni? There a handful of references to individuals bearing this name outside of 9.1.1. These cluster into two groups. The first attests to an Early New Kingdom prince Manninni, son of Arnuwanda I, who can be disregarded as the author of 9.1.1 based on its dating (there are no economic administrative texts preserved from the early NH, nor is there evidence for inventories copied as texts of tradition). The second is an individual attested as leading an army in a Late New Kingdom (reign of Ḫattušili III or Tudḫaliya IV) oracle text, KUB 5.1 obv. 50–51 (see discussion in Burgin 2022, 132–33). Assuming there were not two Late New Kingdom Manninnis, both of whom were of sufficient importance to be entrusted with significant responsibilities, then there was a single Manninni in the time of Ḫattušili III/Tudḫaliya IV who both led armies and authored named, complex inventories: a range of tasks that to current knowledge only fits the profile of a crown prince. Since Hittite kings held dual-names, one Hurrian, one Anatolian, which were assigned or adopted even before their inthronization (Beal 2002), the Hurrian name ManTransliteration rev. iii

9.1 Named Complex Inventories

ninni should have corresponded to an Anatolian name. Of course, not every tuḫ(u)kanti- became king – as the case of Nerikkaili, brother of Tudḫaliya IV, proves – and it is thus possible that Manninni was an otherwise unknown crown prince who served for only a short period of time or never made it to the throne. But if not, the only Late New Hittite kings and/or crown princes currently without recognized dualnames are Nerikkaili, Arnuwanda II, and Šuppiluliuma II. All of these are Anatolian, so in theory any could correspond to the Hurrian Manninni. If a preference were to be expressed, then the extreme Luwianization of 9.1.1 compared to, say, the “Inventory of Tudḫaliya” (9.1.4), points to the latest stages of the Hittite language, and specifically to the Luwianization observed under Šuppiluliuma II (Luwian: Šuppiluliama). In form and contents, 9.1.1 is unremarkable among the complex inventories. The text is neatly written and generally well-formatted. The preserved columns show a preference for personal items such as jewelry, weapons, and garments, although religious paraphernalia such as figurines, ornaments, drinking vessels, and offering equipment are also present in the first half of rev. iv. Since there is no mention of receipt or expenditure, and since notes on condition are rare and incidental, the text seems to record a static inventory of what was probably a temple storeroom. The Inventory of Manninni stubbornly remained in the Konkordanz under the original classification of CTH 504 as a cult inventory, despite universal agreement that the text should be reclassified (Carter 1962, 15; Košak 1978, 99; Hazenbos 2003, 1 fn. 1; van den Hout 2006, 87; Cammarosano 2013, 84). Most have recommended that the text be removed to the other inventories, with Košak (loc. cit.) and van den Hout (loc. cit.) suggesting reclassification to CTH 245 “Inventories of Jewelry,” and HVP (p. 441) placing the text at the head of the volume’s Inventarverzeichnisse category. It can be speculated that it was the perceived uniqueness of the Inventory of Manninni that led it to keep its original CTH number, named after itself. Now, with the identification of similar texts, all of which exhibit the same features of highly detailed description, explicit syntax, variety of objects, and – crucially – the name of an individual responsible for the text, the impediment of uniqueness is removed. It was argued in Vol I, 3. Proposed New Categories for CTH 240–250 that a new classification of 246.I “Named Complex Inventories” should be created. The Inventory of Manninni placed at the head of the category as 246.I.1 in deference to its priority in the research history – even though, as was argued, the text might have been one of the latest examples of the genre created.

157/s KBo 13.127 246.I.1(?) Haus am Hang (L/18, b/6) NH A small fragment from lower edge of a righthand column written in a compact script with some space before paragraph lines. Košak 1978, 111. HVP, 452 (11.1.2). Torri – Barsacchi 2018, 145– 46 (translit. only)

Contents A silver object and bird figurine(s). Analysis The indirect join between 9.1.2 and 9.1.1 proposed in the prefatory materials of KBo 13 (p. vi) has generally been treated with caution: As noted by HIT (p. 111): “The only word which links this small fragment with the inventory of Manninni is the occurrence of the aramni-bird … ,” and HVP (p. 452): “Der indirekte Anschluss … kann nicht nachgeprüft werden und ist daher nicht zu beweisen.” Furthermore, as was stressed by van den Hout (2006, 86–87), a find location in the Haus am Hang would be unusual for any economic administrative text, and especially the “Inventory of Manninni,” since the fragment 9.1.3 was found at Temple 1. It must be admitted, however, that the hand and contents of 9.1.2 are similar enough to 9.1.1 to suggest that they were written by the same scribe. Transliteration 1ʹ 2ʹ 3ʹ

Commentary 2ʹ The absence of a numeral before aram[niuš is unexpected, but the noun must nonetheless be the start of a new entry since the right-branching position of metal materials such as KÙ.BABBAR is an ironclad rule in the PTAC. Non-enumerated objects are sometimes encountered in preliminary inventories of chests when only the general contents are described, or when the objects that have been previously enumerated are revisited for further description (cf. 9.1.1 rev. iii 5ʹ for a possible example).

Commentary 1ʹ Although the colophon was probably left-justified, it is not clear from the handcopy or photo how much is lost from the left edge of the fragment, and hence the restoration of the colophon is uncertain. As already noted by Košak 1978, 111, the order of the colophon is reversed vis-à-vis 9.1.1 rev. iv 45ʹ–46ʹ. This could be interpreted as evidence that 9.1.3 is the final tablet in the series.

Otten 1989, 366–68 (translit./translat. A₁ obv. ii 9–31); Groddek 2012a, 154–59 (translit. only)

Contents A detailed description of statues, weapons, ornaments, and theriomorphic and zoomorphic rhyta. Analysis Having been published only after the appearance of the last comprehensive edition of the Hittite palace administrative corpus in HVP, the significance of 9.1.4 has seemingly not yet been appreciated. The partial edition of Otten 1989, 365 only offered that the text “[n]ach Ausweis des Kolophons handelt es sich um die ‘zweite Tafel’ eines Sammelwerkes, dessen Zweck nach den stark beschädigten Zeilenresten nicht klar zu bestimmen ist, aber doch wohl als Inventar bezeichnet werden darf.” Far more than just another damaged inventory text, it is argued here instead that 9.1.4 preserves what seems to be a named complex inventory conducted at least under the partial supervision of Tudḫaliya IV. The presence of a Tudḫaliya (A₁ rev. iv 7ʹ: mtu-ud-ḫ[a-li-ia) in the colophon is indisputable, and his position at the head of the list of supervisors (list of personal names in A₁ rev. iv 8ʹ–10ʹ, ending with A₁ rev. iv 11ʹ: uš-ká[n-… ) suggests he occupied an administrative position of some importance. Yet, as discussed in Burgin 2022, 123–24, there are no known Tudḫaliyas who worked as administrators or state officials after Tudḫaliya GAL KUŠ₇ in the reigns of Muršili II and Muwatalli II (Bilgin

2018, 209). In light of the other complex inventories preserving royal names (9.1.9, 9.1.10, 9.1.13; cf. also the discussion of Manninni in Analysis to 9.1), and in light of the hypothesis that crown princes could serve as administrators as part of their training (Burgin 2022), the Tudḫaliya in A₁ rev. iv 7ʹ is almost certainly Tudḫaliya IV. The outstanding question, then, is whether he was king at the time of the text’s composition. It is held here that it would be unusual for Tudḫaliya IV to be referred to as anything but DUTU-ŠI in a text written during his reign (cf. the complete absence of Puduḫepa from the PTAC, despite her almost certainly being the MUNUS.LUGAL attested in, e.g., 2.4, 2.5, 2.7 and 2.12; cf. also the same “anonymous ruling king/queen” phenomenon discussed in Vol. I, 8. The Hittite Votive Corpus as Economic Texts, and especially 8.2.4 Tudḫaliya IV). Therefore, 9.1.4 predated his reign, or at the very least his ascension to the throne as sole ruler. The more exciting but less probable alternative, namely that Tudḫaliya was already king, would make 9.1.4 the single most important text of the entire PTAC, since it would be the only known instance of a sitting Hittite king taking part in the day-to-day economic administration of the kingdom. The level of detail in 9.1.4 falls clearly within the complex inventory band, i.e., with enough specificity that individual lots could clearly be identified. The descriptions of the statues in obv. i especially rises to the level of a Bildbeschreibung, with individual components described by material and relative position. 9.1.4 shares a large amount of vocabulary with the Inventory of Manninni (9.1.1), but is markedly less Luwianized (cf. the Hittite pl. nom. case ending -uš attached to a Luwian participle in GUNNI waršanaimeuš in 9.1.4.A₁ obv. ii 1, 5). In format, 9.1.4 is unique within the PAC. Very few texts have colophons, and of those, only one, 9.1.9, has more than one personal name in the colophon. In 9.1.9, it is argued that the Arnuwanda (i.e., crown prince Arnuwanda III) in whose name the inventory is conducted was accompanied by the metalsmith and career administrator Pupuli, who “co-signed” the inventory in hieroglyphs. A similar scenario might have obtained in 9.1.4, where Tudḫaliya was accompanied by assistants who were nearer to Transliteration obv. i A₁ 1 2 3 4

9.1 Named Complex Inventories

the day-to-day economic administration. This would mesh with the impression of the very generalist cursus honorum of the crown princes: the previous jobs of Tašmi-Šarruma/Tudḫaliya included GAL MEŠEDI ‘Chief of the Bodyguard’ (Bilgin 2018, 110–11 with lit.) and military leader (see discussion of the military expeditions of prince Tudḫaliya in Vol. I, 8.2.4 Tudḫaliya IV), in addition to the extensive training in rites and festivals he must have received. In contents, 9.1.4 is marked by a focus on statues and drinking vessels. The mixture of objects observed in some other complex inventories, including weapons, furniture, offering equipment, jewelry, garments, etc., is not found here. The presence of inthronization tribute in the final paragraph (see discussion immediately below) suggests an inventory of a storeroom, with the homogeneity of objects implying a process of selection even within that storeroom. The mention of the UNŪT LÚŠÀ.TAM “equipment of the treasurer” in A₁ obv. ii 6 raises the possibility that the storeroom belonged to some sort of É ŠÀ.TAM ‘treasury’, although other scenarios could be imagined. Finally, as was discussed in Burgin 2022, 125, the inclusion of 9.1.4 among the “references to Tudḫaliya’s accession” by van den Hout (1998, 85) must be rejected. Although the last line of the final paragraph (A₁ rev. iv 4ʹ) before the colophon indeed refers to inthronization, the normal formatting of inventory texts in the PTAC demands that this line apply only to the contents of the paragraph in which it appears, and not to the contents of the entire tablet. Since the only other references to inthronization in the PTAC come from chests of tribute received at the time of the ceremony (see the “tribute formulas” in 2.9, 2.10, and 2.12), and specifically from the time of Ḫattušili III and Puduḫepa (see introductory Analysis to 2.9) it can be assumed that the rhyta in the final paragraph of 9.1.4 are also past tribute from the time of the inthronization of Ḫattušili III. Thus, 9.1.4 represents not the scenario of a king inventorying tribute from his own inthronization, but rather a dutiful prince-cum-administrator and his assistants conducting an inventory of a variety of goods, some of which happen to have come from the inthronization of his father.

Commentary A₁ obv. i 1 Groddek 2012a, 154: S]AG!.DU-wa-ra-at, however the alleged AT-sign should be read la- based on the consistent distinction of the two signs in the text (the group of four horizontals in la- is always written stepped, as a šu-, in 9.1.4.A₁, whereas the horizontals of the at- are stacked in a line). The alleged S]AG!, then, shows the appropriate configuration for the last half of an AT-sign. The lemma [(x) x-a]d-du-wa-ra-la is now also found in 9.2.14 18ʹ: x-ad-d]u-wa-ra-a[l-la. In 9.1.4 obv. 1, the [(x) x-a]d-du-wara-la names or describe the statue’s subject, which must be humanoid given that it sits on a throne (A₁ obv. 2: GIŠDAG). 11ʹ The other options are to restore lu-up-pa-na]-⸢u⸣-[w]a-an-za or ḫu-pí-ta]⸢u⸣-[w]a-an-za. 15ʹ The PÌRIG.TUR šallayaš does not offer any easy translations. The creature is found in only one other text, namely in 10.2.1.2 obv. 2ʹ, 15ʹ. That the šal-la-ia-aš should be read phonetically, and not logographically as MUNUS-la-ia-aš or PÌRIG DUMU. MUNUS-la-ia-aš, is confirmed by the fortuitous preservation of an erased *〈〈MAḪ 〉〉* sign here in obv. i 15ʹ, meaning the word must be some form of šalli- ‘great, large’. It must be assumed from the form šallayaš that a sg. gen. “1 of a large leopard” is meant, dependent on a regens lost in the preceding break. 18ʹ Restoration šu-up-pa(?)]-ia-aš É.ŠÀ-aš following Groddek 2012a, 155.

The name to be restored is probably mḫi-iš]-me-DLUGAL-ma, a prince mentioned as a witness to the Bronze Tablet treaty. It is unlikely that Tudḫaliya IV was referred to here as Tašmi-Šarruma, since this would probably be a serious faux-pas, given Ḫattušili III’s pointed refusal to refer to Urḫi-Teššub by his throne name, Muršili III. A₁ obv. ii 4 The sentential enclitic pronoun -at indicates that an intransitive verb or participle must be restored at the end of obv. ii 4, e.g., GUB-ri ‘stands,’ UŠKE-EN/ḫingari ‘bows’, pai ‘goes’, etc. For the ‘(divinized) throne of the treasurer’, compare É duppaš DDAGTI among a list of divinized thrones in KBo 30.125 rev. 8ʹ. 28 The restoration [i-na GÚ a-ú-i]-ti-kán is with Groddek 2012a, 156. 30 The reading [1? ta]l-la-aš instead of [1 š]a?-la-aš is with Hoffmann 2004, 383. 35 MÁŠ.*ANŠE?* might also be MÁŠ.*ŠIR!?*. 42 Cf. DUG]ḫu-u-tu-ši-iš KÙ.ŠI₂₂ GAR.RA in 9.1.1 rev. iv 25ʹ. In addition to fitting the broken space exactly, DUGḫūtušiš is also the only drinking vessels ending in -šiš in the PTAC.

The erasure depicted at the end of this line in the handcopy appears in the photo to be excess erasure from the line above. A₁ rev. iv 4ʹ The dat.-loc. form of LUGAL-iznani and the cramped but visible E-sign in ⸢e⸣-[ša-at(?) virtually requires that some form of the phrase “when His Majesty sat in kingship” be restored, modeled after the same in 2.9.A₂/₃ obv. i 9ʹ–10ʹ, 11ʹ–12ʹ; 2.9.A₃ obv. ii 3ʹ–4ʹ and 2.12 obv.! ii 2ʹ–3ʹ, 7ʹ–8ʹ. The only question is whether the description MADDATTU GIBIL and the queen should also be restored. Unfortunately, the broken context of 9.1.4.A₁ rev. iv prevents a better understanding of why the text, which in columns obv. i and obv. ii presents itself as a pure complex inventory, is now concerned with the economic origins of the cataloged objects. 6ʹ Contra the suggestion of Otten 1989, 365 fn. 2, a reading [I]Š-TU ŠU? […“from the hand of …” is unlikely, since IŠTU ŠU PN is not attested among the forms of the Writer’s Statement discussed by Gordin 2015, 123–25. 11ʹ Some form of uške/a- ‘to watch, to look’ should be restored here. The two options are either pres. pl. 3 uš-kán-zi, or a form of the participle uškant‑. Given the tendency for actions in the administrative texts to be recorded in the past tense, a present tense “(these individuals) are wat[ching” is improbable. For the participle form, an analytic perfect construction with ḫar(k)- would be semantically attractive (“they held supervised these objects/this inventory”), but it is not clear whether the expected sg. nom.acc. n. form *uš-kán ḫar-kán-zi is acceptable orthography, against, say, *uš-ka-an. A₃ 4ʹ The poor quality of the photo does not allow for a decision between a tarand GADA sign. A₄ l. c. 4ʹ Contra Groddek 2012a, 159: ]BAL-ma ⸢pa-aḫ⸣-ḫur.

9.1.5 KBo 18.172 Precursor to an “Inventory of Tudḫaliya(?),” Found at Büyükkale Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description:

Previous Edition(s):

336/f + 1240/v KBo 18.172 246.I.2(?) Büyükkale D (o–p/15–16); Büyükkale M (w/18) LNH A large and exceedingly wide single-column tablet with a very thick lower edge and possible rare Randleiste at top of obv.! (Waal 2015, 105–6), with text written in a highly variable script with no space before paragraph lines. —

Contents Detailed descriptions of individual pieces or small lots of jewelry, figurines, animal rhyta, weapons, ornaments, tools, and chairs. Analysis Previously classified under CTH 522 (“Fragments of Descriptions of Divine Statues and various Objects”), Cammarosano (2013, 84) correctly argued that in the absence of divine names and place names, 9.1.5 would be better classified among the administrative texts. The variety of the contents, the detail with which they are described, and the explicit syntax place 9.1.5 firmly among the complex inventories. Perhaps the most interesting feature of 9.1.5 is the label-like lower edge, The tablet is uninscribed for six lines before the lo. e., suggesting the text of the lo. e. formed a sort of colophon. Interpreting the lower edge as the final line of the text would require that the obv. and rev. be switched, despite the clearly preserved Randleiste at the top of what is labeled the reverse in the handcopy. However, cf. the same layout of a large, single-column tablet with Randleiste at top of obverse in 9.1.6, a text containing an unusually detailed inventory of textiles, and indeed written in the same hand as 9.1.5, which might have formed part of a series with 9.1.5. As for the contents of colophon, only the end of a word -ḫ]a-li-ia is now preserved. There are very few words ending “-ḫaliya” in Hittite besides Tudḫaliya, and all of these are very obscure (a personal name Ušḫaliya belonging to a minor official attested in the Landschenkungsurkunden and the Maşat corpus, the geographical names Ḫaḫaliya and Mt. Tudḫaliya, and the divine names Aḫḫaliya and Wašḫaliya). Therefore, it seems quite plausible to interpret the lo. e. as the colophon to another “Inventory of Tudḫaliya.” As was discussed in 9.1.4, the Tudḫaliya in question should be Tudḫaliya IV, prior to his ascension to the throne as sole ruler. The single-column format and variable script of 9.1.5 suggests it was a precursor or first-draft of a larger inventory. Whether there was any connection with the inventory of 9.1.4 cannot be determined.

Commentary obv.! 1 For other plural earrings (ḪÚB.BIḪI.A) enumerated with plain cardinal numbers instead of sets (1-NU(-TUM), 2 TA(-PAL), etc.), see 6.5 obv. 16ʹ, 17ʹ; rev. 6ʹ and 6.13 6ʹ. 7 Of the two words in the PTAC containing the sign string (-)za-al(-), (𒀹)kinzalpa- ‘(an ornament?)’ is ruled out by the preceding sign traces, whereas zalḫai- ‘(a wine vessel)’ fits both the context and the traces, reading the preceding traces as a number. 14 The traces would support a reading 1 ḫa-⸢ap⸣-[šal-li “1 ḫap[šalli-chair.” rev.! 4ʹ Contra CHD Š (p. 160; see also p. 458): “(‘Total 5’) … ‘among which one is small (and) filled, five empty quivers […]’,” a more sensible contrast would be between a total of five filled and five empty quivers, with the ŠÀ 1 TUR interpreted as a parenthetical comment on the size of one of the five filled quivers. The actual total, then, is ten quivers in two sets of five and five. These ten quivers are presumably those which were described in detail in the preceding three or more lines. 5ʹ Contra translation of CHD Š (p. 458): “20 AYAKKI-s, including […],” ŠÀ‑ŠU/‑ŠÚ in the PTAC only ever means ‘inside of which’, introducing the contents of a container, and never ‘among which’, introducing a subset of a group, which is expressed by ŠÀ.BA. The distinction between the two expressions is seemingly ironclad – with ŠÀ simplex usable as an abbreviation for both – although cf. commentary to 6ʹ immediately below.

Without emendation, 9.1.5 rev.! 6ʹ would be the sole instance in the PTAC where ŠÀ.BA was used to mean ‘inside of which’, which translation is demanded here by the context of quiver and arrows. See similar confusion in rev.! 13ʹ below. For another example in the PTAC of 1-ŠU/-ŠÚ ‘once’ seemingly used as a cardinal number, see 1.5 obv. 6. The interpretation of 3 ŠU.ŠÈ.LÁ KÙ.BABBAR ŠÀ.BA 1 ḫešhi KÙ.SI₂₂ 3-ma ŠA KÙ.BABBAR is difficult. The normal use of ŠÀ.BA to introduce a subset does not work, since there is no evidence that ŠU.ŠÈ.LÁ vessels were themselves ḫešḫi-s (and anyways the subset of “1 hešhi- of gold, but 3 of silver” exceeds the given total of three vessels). The alternative (mistaken?) use of ŠÀ.BA attested in rev.! 6ʹ to mean ‘inside of which’ – so “3 silver kraters, inside of which is 1 gold ḫešḫi-, but 3 of silver” – is likewise confusing, since the distribution of the ḫešhi- among the kraters is not made explicit (did each have four ḫešḫi-?, were there only four ḫešḫi- between the three of them?). The tentative interpretation proposed here is to take ŠÀ.BA as introducing a subset and ḫešhi as a sg. dat.-loc. of ḫešḫa‑: “3 silver kraters, among which 1 (is) on (its) ḫešḫa- gold” (the translation of Singer 2011, 465 fn. 40: “one with a ‘golden ḫešḫi’” is syntactically unsupported). The following 3-ma ŠA KÙ.BABBAR then introduces a new group of kraters: “furthermore, 3 (kraters) (only) of silver.” Further clarification as to why this additional set of kraters was set apart might have been found in the break (perhaps they were silver like the first group, but had some other distinguishing characteristic).

Previous Edition(s):

Bo 313 KUB 42.55 246.II (Ḫattuša) NH Fragment constituting the top left corner of a single-column tablet marked by a rare occurrence of a Randleiste at top of obverse (Waal 2015, 105–6) and written in a dense script with occasional erasures. HIT, 130–31. HVP, 518–22 (11.6.3)

Contents Medium to large lots of garments described by color and construction. Analysis The single-column tablet format with Randleiste at top of obverse and the especially detailed level of description matches 9.1.5, which was held to be precursor to a hypothesized “Inventory of Tudḫaliya.” 9.1.6 even displays same preference for Hittite, as opposed to Luwian, participle endings (baštān in obv. 2, instead of more common baštaim(m)a/i-). Although a direct join is ruled out by space considerations and theme (statues, weapons, and jewelry in 9.1.5, garments in 9.1.6), it is possible the tablets formed part of a series that were combined in the final, multicolumned version. The breadth of vocabulary in 9.1.6 recalls the range of garments in the KASKAL series, though with a uniquely complex set of descriptions with participles in 9.1.6, as well as explicit syntax on the phrasal level (actual conjunctions and clitic chains) – a set of traits also shared by 9.1.5, 9.1.7, and 9.1.8. Independent of a connection with 9.1.5, the complexity, syntax, and formal features of 9.1.6 alone suggest that it was probably the preliminary stage in a named complex inventory, whether “of Tudḫaliya” or otherwise. The isolated note that something was “torn away” (obv. 7: arḫa šargani[anza) from one of the garments means that 9.1.6 could technically be classified among the 10.3

Analysis The use of 1-edani is very rare in the PTAC, and matches only 9.1.5 and 9.1.6, both of which were hypothesized as precursors to an “Inventory of Tudḫaliya.” It is highly possible that 9.1.7 belonged to the same series of precursors, constituting a “drinking vessels” tablet.

4 1…[ 5 …[ Commentary obv. Since 9.1.5 and 9.1.6 have obverses beginning with Randleiste, it is possible that 9.1.7 obv. and rev. should also be switched. obv. 5ʹ Contra Rost 1961–63, 213, the presence of the name Muwatalli, presumably Muwatalli II, does not imply a dating to his reign. Rather, judging by the range of names on other inscribed objects in the PTAC (2.8, 10.2.2.1, 10.2.2.2, 10.2.2.3, 10.2.2.4, 10.3.1), it seems votive objects could be retained for quite some time. 8ʹ Rost 1961–63, 213 suggested an emendation ti-ti-ti-na > ti-it-ti-na, but this brings no additional understanding. rev. 1 The isolated ZABAR at the beginning of the paragraph is difficult to explain. The strongly demarcated tablet edges argue against taking it as a continuation from the obv., which normally occurs only when the text continues over a rounded tablet edge. It is possible that the ZABAR functioned as a label for the paragraph: “bronze (implements).”

to accurately reflect the underlying Hittite case), the frequent use of descriptive participles, and the absence of single-column texts among the non-named complex inventories suggest that 9.1.8 is another single-column precursor to a named complex inventory. The contents and hand suggest that 9.1.6 and 9.1.8 could have been written by the same scribe, though a join is ruled out by 9.1.8 rev. being uninscribed. No theme can be detected among the items, save for the fact that some are described as old (obv. 4ʹ, 11ʹ) or broken down (obv. 12ʹ, if arḫa pippan here does not just mean “disassembled”). TIM

Commentary obv. 7ʹ The photo seems to show verticals, with the first written over top a Winkelhaken. The arrangement is identical to the beginning of the ŠÀ immediately above. It seems the scribe mistakenly began to write another ŠÀ before realizing his mistake. 15ʹ The syntax of the two ŠÀ.BA constructions is not clear: one must assume a serial construction referring to the same, larger number of items lost in the break at the end of obv. 14ʹ.

9.1.9 VBoT 87 Fragment of the Second Tablet of the Inventory of Arnuwanda of the “Equipment of the Seal House” (UNŪT É NA₄KIŠIB) Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Sayce 16 VBoT 87 246.I.3 — NH Fragment from lower left corner of rev. iv, written in a neat script with word-spacing and no space before paragraph lines. HVP, 453 (11.1.4)

Contents Gold and ebony objects, including a lion’s head, followed by a colophon. Analysis HVP (p. 453) placed 9.1.9 directly after the 9.1.1 and 9.1.2, the main “Inventory of Manninni” fragments. For HVP, the importance of the fragment was that it situated the action of the complex inventories in the “seal house” É NA₄KIŠIB (a hypothesis that may now be questioned based on the disparate find locations for the texts of the genre). The name Arnuwanda received no comment. There are no known Late New Kingdom administrators with such a name (Bilgin 2018). Instead, in light of the complex inventories mentioning Tudḫaliya IV (9.1.4, 9.1.5) and Šuppiluliuma II (9.1.10, 9.1.13), it seems that the Arnuwanda in question can only be Arnuwanda III, who ruled for a brief period after Tudḫaliya IV before dying without an heir. The hieroglyphic signs at the end of 9.1.9 also reveal something of the relationship between the crown princes and the administrators. Previously interpreted by Ünal (1989, 506) as scribbles, the signs were recognized by Gordin (2010, 161) to be a hieroglyphic signature. Gordin suggested the readings pu-pu-sà or pu-pu-li, with the final sign either the caprid sà (L. 104) or an unusual form of li (L. 278), preferring the latter in order to connect the signature to administrator/metalsmith Pupuli (although not

explicitly discussed in Bilgin 2018, Pupuli’s attestations in the PTAC seem to grant him a larger administrative role than that of a mere craftsman). Based on the existence of the name and title pu-pu-li BONUS.SCRIBA on the seal impression Boğ. V 12, Gordin further suggested that Pupuli was not only a metalsmith, but also a scribe, and specifically the scribe of the tablet. Subsequent discussions of hieroglyphic writing on clay tablets have tended to agree with Gordin’s interpretation (Payne 2015, 142; Waal 2017b, 301) of Pupuli? as the scribe of the tablet. However, it seems unlikely that a trained metalworker was also a cuneiform scribe (both professions requiring years of often hereditary apprenticeship). One can imagine instead the extension of administrative responsibilities to Pupuli as an outgrowth of his metalsmithing, similar to what is found for his fellow smith Zuzuli (see Torri 2016). See also van den Hout 2021, 341–74, for a reinterpretation of the “SCRIBA” sign L. 326 as “dignitary,” a title that could designate any important individual connected to the Hittite state, and van den Hout 2021, 132 fn. 56, for discussion of another cuneiform tablet with hieroglyphs at the end, which like those in 9.1.9 are also oriented at 90° to the cuneiform. It is proposed here that Pupuli was asked to “co-sign” Arnuwanda’s inventory as storehouse administrator, congruent with his assistance to higher-ups in 4.1.1.1.A rev. 15ʹ, 19ʹ. Perhaps this co-signing would normally have been accomplished with a bulla (cf. the holes and string impressions attested in 6.5), explaining why more hieroglyphic signatures are not attested.

Commentary 2ʹ It is unclear whether the lupanni- here should be interpreted as caps on, e.g., a knife, or as a depiction of the lupanni-headdress on a statue. 4ʹ There is probably nothing lost at the end of this line. For discussion of other examples of a Hittite genitive disturbing the normal order of Akkadographic writing, see Weeden 2011, 351. 6ʹ It must be admitted that an impartial reading of the hieroglyphic signs as presented in the handcopy (no photo is available) demands the reading PU-PU-SÀ, but the coincidence seems too great not to read a form of Pupuli here (the name “Pupu(s)” or “Pupusa” is unattested). It will be assumed that the SÀ here is a hitherto unrecognized sign with a value “li,” which will be transliterated here as LIx(“SÀ”).

Contents Detailed description of jewelry followed by garments, cloths, and a bed, and, in a new section, large quantities of military equipment. Analysis 9.1.10 and its proposed indirect joins 9.1.11–9.1.15 form an outlier within the 9.1 Named Complex Inventories. In terms of format, 9.1.10 is unique among the complex inventories in that it divides the text by double paragraph lines into subsections, and also for the fact that the personal name associated with the text appears outside of the colophon. In terms of contents, the focus on military equipment in the text is unprecedented in the PTAC. Smaller amounts of military equipment are found in 2.17 and 2.18, as well as the transport texts 8.5, 8.6, and 8.7, but not nearly to the same variety and extent as 9.1.10 (the 17160 arrows in 9.1.10.A₂ rev. 7ʹ is in fact the single largest number of anything in the PTAC). It is in fact somewhat surprising that more military equipment does not appear in the inventory texts: Although Ḫattuša was far from the frontlines of the Hittite Empire, there must have been a regular contingent of soldiers and chariots attached to the city. And with Kaškaen raids to the north, the impregnable

walls of Ḫattuša would have made it a logical site for an arms depot. One may suspect, therefore, that there existed a separate genre of inventory texts, to be labeled perhaps “Named Inventories of Mixed-Use Warehouses, Including Military Equipment,” of which 9.1.10 and indirect joins are the only surviving examples. The other outstanding feature of 9.1.10 is the presence of a certain mŠuppiluliuma in 9.1.10.A₂ rev. 5ʹ (and 9.1.13 7ʹ, if an indirect join), whose identity has thus far been unexplained. Context suggests he is a living individual, who was somehow present and involved with the action of the text: the uncomplemented stem form (i.e., nominative form) of Šuppiluliuma in 9.1.10.A₂ rev. 5ʹ: ]x x x šuḫḫaš mŠuppiluliuma SAG.DU Éilanaš “… of/on the roof. Šuppiluliuma, (at?/of?) the head of the staircase,” in what may be interpreted as the final line of a section dealing with the contents of a particular storeroom, seems to place him in a position of administrative responsibility. Yet the recent work of Bilgin 2018 does not list Late New Kingdom officials or administrators of that name. In light of the proposed hypothesis that crown princes/co-regents could supervise economic activities in the Late New Kingdom (see introductory Analysis to 9.1.4 and 9.1.5), it is suggested here (and further Burgin 2022) that the Šuppiluliuma in 9.1.10 Transliteration 1 B 1ʹ 2 B 2ʹ 3

is probably Šuppiluliama/Šuppiluliuma II, son of Tudḫaliya IV. This identification of what seems to be the responsible author of the text with a member of the inner circle of the royal family is perhaps the strongest criterion for classification of 9.1.10 and affiliated texts among the 9.1 Named Complex Inventories. Regarding the orthography of the two copies, in addition to showing different hands, 9.1.10.A and 9.1.10.B show differences in spellings, with the latter always choosing shorter allographs where possible: cf. ŠÀ (9.1.10.B 6ʹ) vs. ŠÀ.BA (9.1.10.A obv. 3), 1NU (9.1.10.B 7ʹ, 11ʹ, 12ʹ) vs. 1- NU-TUM (9.1.10.A OBV. 4ʹ, 8ʹ, 9ʹ), and ZU₉ SI (9.1.10.B 13ʹ) vs. ZU₉ AM.SI (9.1.10.A 9ʹ). The same winnowing of superfluous signs was observed in the duplicates 4.1.1.1.A and 4.1.1.1.B. There, it was argued that the “leaner” copy of 4.1.1.1.B was actually the final version. Here, in 9.1.10, there seems to be no way to determine priority. It may be noted that at least some of the paragraph lines in B were clearly added after the fact, transecting the trailing edges of some of the verticals in B 2ʹ and B 10ʹ. This implies that 9.1.10.B was written as one block of text and then divided, perhaps indicating it was a first draft. Translation 1 2 3 4 5 6

Commentary 9 The 17 KÙ.SI₂₂ ba-a[š-ta- presents a conundrum: a nominal reconstruction 17 KÙ.SI₂₂ ba-a[š-ta-aš “17 gold bašta-decorations,” puts the material descriptor KÙ.SI₂₂, which normally follows the item, out of order. However, the line cannot be reconstructed (with HVP, 485) as if it contained a participle “1 kalupašši-clasp (of) gold (and) stone, 17 set with bašta-decorations (of) gold,” given the impossibility of the preceding single kaluppaššiclasp having a subset larger than its total. A gapped construction with a large group of items in the preceding break, i.e.: “[a group of items plus] 1 kalupašši-clasp, (of which) 17 (of the group of items) are set with baštadecorations (of) gold,” also does not seem very likely. One must thus either emend 17-〈ŠU 〉 ‘17-times’ – the preferred option here, despite the agreement of both texts – analogous to 1-ŠU baštān ‘set with a bašta-decoration one time’ in 9.1.6 obv. 2, or accept that the material and item are inverted with the nominal interpretation. 13 Contra HVP, 486 fn. 11, the photo shows GA[DA, not b[a-. 22 For SAG.DU É ilanaš ‘head of the staircase’, see the conflicting translations provided by, on the one hand, HIT, 111 (“SAG.DU: lit. ‘head’, here probably ‘person, servant’”) and Hoffmann 1984, 101 (“Šuppiluliuma, eine Person [=Angehöriger des Personals] des Treppenhauses”), and on the other hand HVP, 487 fn. 15 (“Zu SAG.DU Éilanaš als einer Örtlichkeit vgl. die Bēlmadgalti-Instruktion KUB XXXI 86 II 13ʹ[–15ʹ] … . Danach scheint es sich bei ilanaš SAG.DU um eine Öffnung, einen Treppenausgang zum Dach, zu handeln. Die Erwähnung des Daches in unseren Zusammenhang dürfte diese Annahme unterstützen.”). Of these, the explanation of HVP seems the more convincing. As further support, it may be additionally commented that the inversion of the normal construction ilanaš SAG.DU → SAG.DU É ilanaš can be explained by the presence of the second Sumerogram É, which forces a Sumero-Akkadian word order (i.e., right-branching genitival phrases) in other mixed constructions: cf. *ḫarwašiaš pēr → É harwašiaš in 2.7.A rev. 5 and *tuppaš pēr → É tuppaš in 3.2.1 rev. 8ʹ. If the “head of the staircase” was indeed an architectural feature, then its appearance in the closing line of a section, as indicated by the double paragraph line, makes it the logical location of the objects inventoried in that section. In combination with the roof (šuḫḫaš) of the same line, it can be reconstructed that the section perhaps recorded the contents of a storeroom located at or near the head of a staircase underneath the roof of a building. 23 The 40 in this line looks more like a ḫi, i.e., with four small Winkelhaken slanting above and to the left of one large Winkelhaken. The photograph shows much more of a gap between the sign the preceding -RU than is given in the handcopy, suggesting that the reading of CHD L–N s.v. magareš (p. 120): “GIŠMU-KAR- RU 40(coll.)” is preferable to the later CAD M₁

s.v. magarru (p. 33): GIŠMU-KAR-RU ḪI.〈A〉. A strict reading of the sign, however suggests that non-standard writing for the numeral 50, which normally is arranged as 3 + 2 diagonally stacked Winkelhaken, instead of the 4 +1 observed here, should also be considered.

Bo 1247 KUB 60.29 246.I.4.A(?) (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from right-hand side of tablet written in a dense, neat script with space before paragraph line. Groddek 2006, 28–29 (translit. only)

Contents Garments, pieces of armor, and horse tack. Analysis The terminology of 9.1.11 forms a group with 9.1.10 and its proposed indirect joins 9.1.12–9.1.15. The handwriting and allographs (ŠÀ.BA and 1-NU-TUM instead of ŠÀ and 1-NU) strongly support an indirect join with 9.1.10.A (and hence also 9.1.12), with the shared contents of military equipment suggesting that 9.1.11 belonged to the reverse of 9.1.10.A₂. This requires that the obv. and rev. assigned in the handcopy for 9.1.11 be switched. If an indirect join is not possible, it could be that 9.1.10 and 9.1.11 formed a tablet series, which would not be unexpected among the complex inventories. Transliteration obv.? 1ʹ 2ʹ 3ʹ 4ʹ 5ʹ

Bo 6750 — 246.I.4.A(?) (Ḫattuša) LNH A small fragment from left edge written in a dense, squeezed script. —

Contents Objects, including at least 3,000 arrows. Analysis The use of a Hittite dative case (3ʹ) and enclitic contrastive conjunctions (2ʹ, 3ʹ) in 9.1.12 suggest a complex inventory, with the inventory of military equipment on the reverse of 9.1.10 offering the closest comparison (compare the large number of arrows in 9.1.12 5ʹ with the same 9.1.10.A₂ rev. 7ʹ). Moreover, 9.1.12 and could share the same hand 9.1.10.A and 9.1.11. If not an indirect join, then 9.1.12 might have belonged to the same tablet series 9.1.10.A.

Commentary 1ʹ, 2ʹ A restoration za-ak-ki-it]-ra is quite attractive: with 4ʹ, it might be reconstructed that golden zakkit(t)ar-s were a subcomponent of larger objects named in these lines. 4ʹ Contra Giusfredi 2011, 31, the arrangement of the three visible horizontal wedges, and the attestation of a zakkitra in 9.1.11 obv.? 3ʹ, a proposed indirect join to copy A of the text, suggests a reading za-ak-ki-it-ra, not za-ak-ki-i[a ‘latch, bolt’. Since ZABAR always appears after its noun, the material must apply to a preceding object. The zakkit(t)ar- then refers to something else, perhaps a subcomponent made of different material attached to a bronze object. 5ʹ Although Giusfredi 2011, 31 suggested that iš-še-ra represented the end of a broken word, the photo shows that there are no traces before the single vertical wedge, which thus must be interpreted as either a numeral “1” or the personal determinative.

Analysis Although HVP (p. 454) suggested that 9.1.15 fragment “erinnert stark an das Inventar des Manninni,” the contents, including a shield(?) and rhyta, and the use of a double paragraph line to separate internal sections (other complex named inventories use a double paragraph line before colophons: cf. 9.1.1, 9.1.3 9.1.9, and 9.2.2) makes comparison with 9.1.10 a better fit. The sign variants (old KÙ, consistent writing of SI₂₂ with only three Winkelhaken), Sumerograms (ŠÀ instead of ŠÀ.BA), and format (absolutely no space before paragraph lines) support a join with 9.1.10.B.

Bo 2623 KUB 42.69 246.II (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from the lower left-hand side of a two-column tablet written in a dense, neat script with minimal word-spacing and little to no space before paragraph lines. Košak 1978, 114–19. HVP, 455–61 (11.1.6).

Contents Detailed description of jewelry, ornaments, figurines, offering equipment, knives, garments, and cult images. Analysis As noted by HVP (p. 455), 9.2.1 “weist – in Aufbau, Inhalt und dem durch auffällig viele Luwismen durchsetzten Wortschatz – starke Anklänge an das Inventar des Manninni … auf.” To this may be further added that 9.2.1 and the Inventory of Manninni (9.1.1) share a specialized vocabulary (GÍR URUḫatta; lalinaimma-). However, 9.2.1 and 9.1.1 are written in a different hand (cf. also consistent use of old KÙ in 9.2.1 vs. young KÙ in 9.1.1), making the join of 9.2.1 (and 9.2.2) to 9.1.1 proposed by Cammarosano 2013, 84, impossible. Instead, if 9.2.2 is accepted as a join to 9.2.1 (see introductory Analysis to 9.2.1 below), then the appearance of what seems to be space for a colophon after the double paragraph line in 9.2.2 rev.! iv 3ʹ suggests that 9.2.1 (+) 9.2.2 constituted another named complex inventory.

Commentary obv. ii 13ʹ KÙ.SI₂₂ an-da is by itself defective. Since the line was already running over onto the tablet edge, the scribe must have omitted the enumerated object, intentionally or otherwise. SIḪPU ‘overlay’ is restored here as a suggestion, though šuppisduwar- ‘ornament’ is another possibility. 26ʹ Contra HVP (p. 458): 1] ME 90(?), the horizontal of ME is not visible in the photograph. 26ʹ–27ʹ Restoration of gold objects in these lines and not silver based on the fact that only gold is attested in 9.2.1.

For reading DUG!aš-šu-u-wa-aš with Košak 1978, 117 against ga-aš-šu-uwa-aš of HVP (p. 458), see Lexical Commentary. If interpreted as a scribal notation, the PAP should indicate that the manuscripts Vorlage contained an unintelligible sign at this point. Alternatively, since both instaces appear after NU.GÁL, the PAP could highlight the missing elements.

9.2.2 KUB 42.78 Fragment of a Complex Inventory, Recalling the Inventory of Manninni (Join to 9.2.1?) Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 2762 KUB 42.78 246.II (Ḫattuša) NH The rev. of a two-column tablet with a broad intercolumnium, written in a dense script with minimal word-spacing and little to no space before paragraph lines. Košak 1978, 112–14. HVP, 461–65 (11.1.7).

Contents Detailed description of jewelry as individual pieces or in small lots. Analysis As HVP (p. 461) noted, 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 share the same hand. It is possible to propose an indirect join if the obv. ii(?) suggested by the handcopy for 9.2.2 is reinterpreted as rev.! iii, with a small gap between the end of 9.2.1 rev. iii and the beginning of 9.2.2 rev.! iii. Supporting this rearrangement is the double paragraph line followed by uninscribed space observed in what is now 9.2.2 rev.! iv, a feature encountered in other complex inventories immediately before a colophon (cf. 9.1.1, 9.1.3, 9.1.9).

Commentary rev.! iii 17ʹ The inscribed verticals of both the ša- and -ta- of ša?-ta?-an-zi are badly eroded. A reading šašanzi, Luw. pl. nom. of šaša- ‘wild goat’ (cf. 10.2.2.4 obv.? r. c. 7ʹ), is improbably based on context. That the ša?-ta?-an-zi appears immediately before beads suggests it could be (yet another) kind of necklace or bracelet. 18ʹ See already comment of HVP (p. 464 fn. 1) on whether anything is missing between ša-[(x)]-ri-ia-an. If a restoration is to be made, then ša-a-ri-ia-an in 9.2.5 obv. i(?) 5ʹ offers a direct parallel.

9.2.4 KUB 42.42 A Complex Inventory of Jewelry, Ornaments, Statues, and Garments Catalog Information Excavation Number: Publication: CTH Number: Findspot: Dating: Description: Previous Edition(s):

Bo 3364 + Bo 3970 KUB 42.42 246.II (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from the lower third of a large, two-column tablet with a broad intercolumnium with little word spacing and no space before paragraph lines. HIT, 57–60. HVP, 469–75 (11.2.1)

Contents Detailed description of cult images, ornaments, jewelry, garments, and knives, with some of the objects in containers. Analysis As noted by HVP (p. 57), 9.2.4, 9.2.5, and 9.2.6 are among a group of tablets written by the same scribe. The texts are in fact similar enough in form and content that it is proposed here to treat the pieces as possible indirect joins constituting a new complex inventory. In terms of arrangement, the contents of 9.2.5 belong thematically to the end of 9.2.4 obv. i, or perhaps the beginning of 9.2.4 obv. ii. No direct join is visible, and any indirect join would need to be separated by a not-insignificant gap given the pattern of paragraph lines in the two fragment. 9.2.6, then, probably represents the second half of 9.2.4 rev. iv. This means that a sandwich join between 9.2.5 and 9.2.6 could be necessary, and an autopsy would be needed to see if the three fragments could physically occupy the same space. The format and hand of 9.2.4–9.2.6 are indistinguishable from 9.1.10.B and its joins, but no connection beyond a shared scribe can be proposed.

Commentary obv. i 12ʹ The construction ŠUM-an UL handān ‘the name is not determined’, instead of expected ŠUM NU.GÁL or ŠUM=ŠU mertat (CHD L–N s.v. laman e, p. 35), is unique to this text. Cf. Commentary to rev. iv 4 below. obv. ii 5ʹ HVP (p. 472 fn. 3) suggested “KAR-KA(-)x[ ‘2 Wickelkleider … [ ’?,” from Akk. karku ‘rolled, gathered’. No additional evidence either for or against this reading has come to light. rev. iii? 6ʹ HIT (p. 58): 1-en TÚG MAŠ-LU TÚGni-[; HVP (p. 472): 1-EN TÚG MAŠ-LU(-)TÚGni[. However, the second alleged TÚG appears too different from the first to allow this reading. The spacing of the signs suggests that the first TÚG is read better as a determinative of the following signs, giving TÚG BAR.DUL₈. The GAL! is unclear, but it is possible that the intruding diagonal is overrun from the line above. 9ʹ The KUŠ might also be read URU. While there exist place names such as URUkuwarna, URUkuwarpiša, and URUkuwaršawanta, it is not clear what they would be doing here in context. rev. iv 4 The construction ŠUM=ŠU m… DÙ-an is a hapax, but transparently refers to an inscription on the object (CHD L–N s.v. laman e [p. 34]). The question becomes whether the inscription names the object’s donor or the subject depicted. In other texts in the PTAC, ŠUM=ŠU usually names the person (10.3.1 rev. iii 2ʹ) or deity (9.2.2 rev.! iii 12ʹ) depicted by the object, whereas the donor of the object is identified by the construction ŠUM m… ŠAṬRU (ANA …) (see 9.1.7 obv. ii(?) 5ʹ; and 10.2.2.1, 10.2.2.2, 10.2.2.3, 10.2.2.4 passim). Thus, the possessive pronoun on ŠUM=ŠU strongly suggests that Tudḫaliya is the namesake of the object. It is uncertain how a knife could depict a human being (though cf. the representation of the underworld deity Nergal as an anthropomorphized sword hilt at Yazılıkaya?). Alternatively, perhaps an ALAM is lost in the break at the beginning of the paragraph, so that the knife is only a component of a statue named “Tudḫaliya.” 8 There appears to be a lightly inscribed paragraph line under rev. iv 8ʹ. It is not possible to tell from the photo whether this is a scratch or an erased paragraph line.

Commentary 6ʹ–9ʹ The enumeration of pendants suggests that some form of ‘necklace’ (ḫuḫḫurtalla/i-, mannin(n)i-, (𒑱)pennati-) be restored at the beginning of each line. That the pendants belonged to a necklace, and not stored loose, is confirmed by the verb wakkari at the end of 9ʹ: it is difficult to imagine how the scribe would know that one among the hundreds of pendants mentioned in the paragraph is missing were it not visibly lacking from an intact necklace.

HVP (p. 57) noted that 9.2.6 was written in the same hand as 9.2.4 and 9.2.5, but declined to propose a join and curiously classified 9.2.6 among the “Inventurprotokolle” rather than the “Inventarverzeichnisse” of 9.2.4 and 9.2.5. However, the similarity in hand and contents, together with the use of double paragraph lines and shared vocabulary (ḪIḪINNU(-) in 9.2.4 rev. iii 3ʹ and 9.2.6 rev.! iv 1ʹ), suggest that 9.2.6 should at a minimum be reclassified to the same genre as 9.2.4.

Commentary rev.! iv 2ʹ Cf. 2.17 obv.? r. c. 3ʹ, 4ʹ for the IŠ-TU šūwanza construction with containers. 12ʹ Based on the other contexts cited in HW2 s.v. išg/k?ap(p?)uzzi- (p. 178), the reading iš-ga-p[u-uz-zi offered by HIT (p. 55) is preferable to some form of išgaleššar as suggested by HVP (p. 59 fn. 4). The išgapuzzi-, which is associated with bathing implements and possibly perfumed oil (see Lexical Commentary), seems to have formed part of a gentleman’s toilet, if that is indeed what the objects in the “bag of the charioteer/diplomat” (KUŠA.GÁ.LÁ ŠA LÚKARTAPPI) in rev.! iv 11ʹ–16ʹ represent. 17ʹ–19ʹ The appearance of the parta- (a wooden part of a bedstead) in 19ʹ means this paragraph is almost surely describing a bed. Compare the appearance of MAYYĀLU DIŠKUR URUnerik “the bedding of the Storm-god of Nerik” in 8.1.F rev. v 16. l. e. 2 The NÁ! TÚG?! read by HVP (p. 58) seems impossible based on the photo: the NÁ! is a clear NAM-sign (so HIT, p. 55), and the rest is illegible.

Analysis Although sure classification is prohibited by the poor state of preservation, the presence of rare vocabulary (GIŠ.BAR.KIN, TÚGŠÀ.GA.DÙ), heterogenous contents (clothing, metal objects, statues), and possible mention of a container in the middle of a paragraph (rev. r. c. 4ʹ) strongly suggest that 9.2.7 was a complex or named inventory. The handwriting of 9.2.7 closely matches 9.2.4, 9.2.5, and 9.2.6 (and hence also 9.1.10.B and proposed joins) as does some of the vocabulary (cf. the rare 1-EN tup-pa-aš without GIŠ determinative in 9.2.6 rev.! iv and what seems to be the same in 9.2.7 rev. r. c. 4ʹ).

Commentary obv.? 10ʹ The position of the clitic indicates that KÙ.SI₂₂ was the first accented word of the clause, as would be expected from the underlying Hittite, where a genitive should precede its head noun. The position of the number in the underlying Hittite clause is unclear. rev.? 4ʹ Because 108 seems to be a very large number of cloths to fit in one chest, the beginning of the line might be better read [n G]ADA? 8 GADAgaz-za-arnu-ul; the traces, however, do favor the reading ME. It is possible that the drying swatches were very small, very thin, and/or highly compressible cloths. rev.? 6ʹ The suspected Glossenkeil overlaps with the preceding -aš.

Analysis The Konkordanz suggests an indirect join of 9.2.10 with 9.2.9. This is not improbable, though the limited size of the fragment prohibits a firm conclusion based on handwriting. The presence of the participle t]attapalaī[m(m)a/i-, an obscure designation thus far only attested with drinking vessels, in 3ʹ suggests that 9.2.10 might have followed the inventory of drinking equipment in 9.2.9 obv.?.

Bo 1965 KUB 38.13 248.I (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from the left-hand side of a tablet written in a cursive script with generous word spacing and minimal space before paragraph lines. Rost 1961–63, 199–200 (obv.? 6ʹ–11ʹ only)

Contents Large lots of statues subdivided by material and type, followed by ornaments, vessels, and food and drink. Analysis The mixture of commentary, inventory, and comestibles in 10.1.1.1 and its counterpart 10.1.1.2 is unique within the PTAC. The first legible paragraph of 10.1.1.1 mentions the goldsmith Zuzuli, who in rev.? 3ʹ is apparently giving something, or someone, “(as) booty/as a deportee.” Although one would expect a goldsmith to be contributing samples of their work, there seems to be no possibility of, e.g., interpreting the NAM.RA as a figurine in rev.? 3ʹ. This implies that Zuzuli is actually contributing an object or a actual person identified as booty to what is probably the temple endowment, given the text’s context as a temple inventory. Note that, contra Rost 1961–63, 200, there is no

evidence that Zuzuli was himself a (LÚ)NAM.RA – see Torri 2016 for discussion of Zuzuli and the privileged role of the goldsmiths in Hittite economic administration. The second paragraph of 10.1.1.1 lists statues, libation vessels, and cloths, before finishing with a large amount of comestibles. The amount of grain is significant: the 20 PARĪSU of roasted grain (taršan) in rev.? 15ʹ would be enough to feed around 15 to 20 people for a month. With the additional 5 PARĪSU 3 BÁN of emmer, the barley-mash, the tankards of beer (if units of beer are meant, and not the containers per se), the food in the text could represent the monthly caloric requirements for an institution of 20 to 30 people. The mix of personnel – if the NAM.RA is taken as such –, objects, and comestibles, then, makes the Local Cult Inventories the closest comparable genre for 10.1.1.1. The Local Cult Inventories document similar information for temples and cult institutions located in the Hittite hinterland (Cammarosano 2018). 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, and similar texts (9.1.7, 10.2.1.2, and 10.3.4 are explicitly mentioned) were classified by Cammarosano 2013 as temple inventories, which he defined (p. 79) as “lists of temple goods which do not meet the conditions for being considered cult inventories in the strict sense.” Although not nearly as well-defined and prevalent as the Local Cult Inventories, these must have represented a similar regimen of regular investigation and stocktaking of temples at Ḫattuša: cf. 10.1.1.2 rev. iv 15ʹ: URU-ri ‘in the city’, i.e., Ḫattuša, which is interpreted the location for the temples inventoried in that text. Indeed, it can be reconstructed that the texts categorized in 10.1 General Temple Inventories seem to have formed the first step of an inventory cycle that ended with the 10.3 Inventories Concerned with Condition and Maintenance, a genre that in turn can be tied back into the 4.1 Manufacturing Allocations genre. It is also highly probable that many, if not most, of the texts classified under 11. Inventory Fragments, many of which were found at Temple 1, were also temple inventories. Finally, a number of the texts categorized under 9. Complex Inventories were probably also part of the temple inventory and maintenance cycle, though the greater level of detail, explicit syntax, and the preservation of colophons naming authors suggest they were special investigations occasioned by some particular event, rather than what seems to be the regular stock-taking recorded in 10.

Commentary rev.? 4ʹ Contra Rost 1961–63, 200 and HVP (p. 331) there is no evidence beyond appearing with Zuzuli in this one paragraph that Šunaili was a goldsmith. Instead, Šunaili is attested elsewhere as a LÚKARTAPPU, a title meaning lit. ‘charioteer’, but often attested as a diplomatic envoy (Bilgin 2018, 243, 317). 7ʹ Rost 1961–63, 200 suggested [1 ḫu-e]l-piš “1 Jungtier,” though an -e]lseems to be excluded by the traces. A reading -i]m- is much more probably, although there are admittedly very few words ending in -impiš/-impaš in Hittite, none of which seem to work here. If taken seriously, the

Analysis Although 10.1.1.2 offers the same combination of statues, cloth, and grain as found in 10.1.1.1, the hands seem to be too different to allow for an indirect join. The mention of totals (rev. iv. 12ʹ) and multiple temples (rev. iv 14ʹ), combined with a complex tablet formatting (double paragraph lines, colophon), places 10.1.1.2 at the end of what must have been a lengthy administrative process.

Previous Edition(s):

Bo 5791 KUB 42.40 249.I (Ḫattuša) NH An interior fragment from lower edge of multicolumn tablet with a broad intercolumnium on obv.? and simple column divider on rev.?, minimal space before paragraph lines, and written in a script of highly variable size, spacing, and neatness. HIT, 178–80. HVP, 505–9 (11.5.1)

Contents Small lots of garments and jewelry with a “grand total,” followed by a list of various gold and stone objects and ornaments. Analysis The presence of a ŠU.NÍGIN.GAL ‘grand total’ in rev.? r. c. 5ʹ is very rare in the PTAC, being otherwise encountered only in the domestic tribute lists 3.1.6 and 3.1.12. However, 10.1.2.1 contains no personal names, nor mention of tribute. Although classification of the text is difficult (as HVP, 505 noted: “Der erhaltene Text weist zu wenig Charakteristika auf, um ihn einer Gattung anschliessen zu können.”), the variety of contents, the large numbers of objects, and the sections divided by double paragraph lines are most similar to 10.1.1.1/10.1.1.2 – texts that are almost certainly to be identified as temple inventories. Moreover, the vocabulary of 10.1.2.1 rev.? r. c. 6ʹ–7ʹ is also commonly encountered in the temple inventories: cf. MIMMA ŠUMŠU in 10.1.2.7 13ʹ, and GURUN in 10.1.2.2 3ʹ, 4ʹ; 10.1.2.3 3ʹ. Classification, then, of 10.1.2.1 among the general temple inventories would confirm the expectation that the temple inventories could be conducted on large, complex tablets with subdivisions and totals.

10.1 General Temple Inventories

485

Contents A list of gold objects with comments on condition from the town of Alatarma. Analysis Temple inventories were of course not restricted to Ḫattuša. The theme of the gold objects belonging to various gods in the provincial town of Alatarma places 10.1.2.8 in a liminal category between the Palace-Temple Administrative Corpus and the Local Cult Inventories (M. Cammarosano, pers. comm.). The list-like nature of the text tips it toward the former, but the fragment nevertheless contains features that are otherwise unattested in the PTAC. The most significant difference is that the inventory is phrased in the first person (rev. r. c. 1: ŠID-uen “we counted”), suggesting that it was originally a report on the condition of a local temple sent back to Ḫattuša. The town of Alatarma is probably to be identified with the town of the same name, written hieroglyphically, mentioned in the KÖYLÜTOLU YAYLA inscription (Hawkins 2013, 75–76), and thus located somewhere between Konya and Afyon. i.e., in the Hittite Lower Land. It is probably not the Alatarma connected with the lands of Išuwa and Paḫḫuwa in the vicinity of the Euphrates (Del Monte – Tischler 1978, 6–7), whither Tudḫaliya IV fled after the battle of Niḫriya, since it would be surprising based on the restricted geographical scope of the local cult inventories for Ḫattuša to be receiving cult and temple inventory reports from vassal kingdoms. 10.1.2.8 thus represents the first recognized cuneiform attestation of the town of “Alatarma of the Lower Lands.” Transliteration and translation to be provided following official publication.

Bo 5695 + 6327 KUB 38.21 248.II (Ḫattuša) LNH A fragment from the right-hand side of a two-column(?) tablet, written in a dense script with minimal word spacing and no space before paragraph lines. Rost 1961–63, 213–15 (obv. 2ʹ–9ʹ; rev. 1ʹ–7ʹ only).

Contents Detailed description of a cult image by dimensions, subcomponents, and materials. Analysis 10.2.1.1 is a parade example of a detailed Bildbeschreibung, or complex cult image description. Distinguishing features of the genre vis-à-vis normal inventories include description of the main figurine with dimensions and description of any accompanying figurines, accessories (chairs, clothing, decorations), cultic implements (combs, libation vessels), and structural components such as the statue base using language marked by explicit syntax and comments on relative position through the use of directional adverbs. The presence of the -ašta local particle in 10.2.1.1. obv. 3ʹ is somewhat unusual in a late text, but not impossible in light of the careful, elevated style of the text, and especially if the text was modeled after earlier examples.

Contents Description of cult image(?) with jewelry and garment accessories. Analysis A collection of jewelry, garment(s), and what is probably a cult image based on the presence of pargašti ‘height’, which is otherwise only attested in the Bildbeschreibungen 10.2.1.1 and 10.2.1.3 (and 10.2.1.4). If 10.2.1.5 is also a Bildbeschreibung, then the jewelry and garments were probably accessories for the cult image. If (TÚG/KUŠ) ka-p]í-ta-aš-ša-[am-na(?) is restored correctly, then it provides a second instance of the kapi(r)t(t)aš(š)amna-garment spelled with -aš-ša-am-na, otherwise only attested in the second tablet of the Inventory of Manninni, 9.1.1 rev. iii 29ʹ. The handwriting of 10.2.1.5 and 9.1.1 is near enough to be the same. An indirect join seems improbable, so it may be assumed the texts simply shared the same scribe. It is perhaps significant that both texts exhibit a level of care and detail above the average inventory text, suggesting that certain scribes were entrusted with the more important inventory texts.

Bo 69/811 KBo 61.9 248.III Temple 1 (old excavation debris in front of storeroom 9) NH An internal fragment written in a dense script with minimal word-spacing. —

Contents List of objects inscribed with the names of the royal family. Analysis The inscribed names followed by an A-NA ‘for’ strongly suggests that the objects of 10.2.2.1 were votive donations. That some objects were cataloged as such even though they lacked an attached inscription (6ʹ: Ú]-⸢UL⸣ lam-ni-ia-[) indicates that the votive objects were kept separate from other temple paraphernalia (it is not clear how the scribe could have identified the nameless object as a votive object otherwise). The sequestered nature of the votive objects, combined with the thematic unity of the texts that treat them (almost all of the objects recorded within the texts are inscribed), suggest that the 10.2.2 Votive Objects in Storage subgenre formed a natural group within the detailed descriptions of cult images. The presence of Nerikkaili, son of Ḫattušili III, and the anonymous, presumably currently ruling king and queen places the objects of 10.2.2.1 among the more recent enrollments of votive offerings. In contrast, the donations of Muršili (II, or possibly III) in 10.2.2.2 and 10.2.2.3, would have occurred years, if not decades, earlier.

Analysis Although the Konkordanz considers 10.2.2.2, 10.2.2.3, and 10.2.2.4 to be indirect joins, it is not possible to establish an order or arrangment for the fragments. In addition, 10.2.2.3 shows a simple column divider, whereas 10.2.2.4 obv. has a broad intercolumnium. The handwriting of the three fragments in undoubtedly the same, and the contents very similar. The fact that the objects are animal figurines (cf. 7ʹ: 4 GÌR “4 legs”), and not humans, indicates that the inscriptions named the donors of the objects, and not the depicted subjects.

Commentary 3ʹ Contra Rost 1961–63, 192: ]KUŠMEŠ “Fell (pl.),” it is difficult to imagine how the “hides” of an animal figurine could be made of one material, and the individual body parts made of others. The UZUÚRMEŠ has the advantage of being one of the few body parts regularly appearing in the plural in the Bildbeschreibung (cf. 10.2.2.4 obv.? r. c. 6ʹ). 4ʹ Whereas Rost 1961–63, 191 translated KI GUB in A₁ obv.? l. c. 4ʹ and 6ʹ simply as “stehend,” cf. instead interpretation of Güterbock 1956, 361: “one might take the KI as ‘ground’: ‘standing (on the) ground (with) four (legs)’, but this is mere speculation. Against the interpretation ‘Gestell’ is the fact that in two of the Bildb[eschreibung] passages … a GIŠpalzašḫa‘pedestal’ is expressly mentioned.” It may be further suggested here that

Commentary obv.? l. c. 1ʹ The reading 4 GÌR with Rost 1961–63, 190 requires an emendation of the handcopy, but seems to be supported by the photos. 3ʹ Contra Rost 1961–63, 190, the reading KÙ].BABBAR is improbable based on the traces (an end of a -t]a or ‑š]a is visible in the photos instead) and the fact that silver usually follows gold in lists of materials.

Bo 3826 — CTH 247 (Ḫattuša) NH A fragment from right-hand edge of tablet, written in a dense script with considerable overruns at end of lines onto tablet edge and a small amount of space before paragraph lines. Otten 1958, 112 (translit., rev. iii 1ʹ–13ʹ only). Jakob-Rost 1963, 202 (translit., rev. iii 8ʹ–11ʹ only). Haas – Wäfler 1977, 116–17 (translit., rev. iii 1ʹ–13ʹ only). Fuscagni 2007, 57–58 (translit., rev. iii 1ʹ–13ʹ only)

Contents Detailed description of statues and cult objects, some of which were inscribed, with notes on maintenance status. Analysis 10.3.1 is a uniquely useful text that bridges genres: The presence of inscribed figurines (rev. iii 2ʹ–4ʹ) is only otherwise encountered in inventories of animal figurines suspected to be votive objects (see 10.2.2 Votive Objects in Storage), and the description of complex, multi-part figurines (rev. iii 8ʹ–13ʹ) is encountered only in the Bildbeschreibungen of cult images (see 10.2.1 Cult Image Descriptions (Bildbeschreibungen) ). Then, the mention of smiths (rev. iii 7ʹ) and the designation of an object as “finished/complete” (rev. iii 13ʹ: zinn[an(?)) suggests a smithing text. It is proposed here that the text represents a selection of figurines and cult images, some of which might have been installed in the É.ŠÀ ḫaštiyaš ‘ossuary’ (see rev. iii 6ʹ; cf. also rev. iii 2ʹ: ŠUMŠU maš-me-LUGAL-ma, which presumably designated a statue for the royal ancestor cult – see Bilgin 2018, 42, for the Ašme-šarruma in question) that were being brought to the smiths for repair. The similar, if less somewhat less thorough, 10.3.2 offers a point of comparison, but 10.3.1 is placed here at the head of the maintenance text genre, since no other text so explicitly document the process of repair.

He suspected the depicted king was a successor to Šuppiluliuma I due to the presence of Ašme-Šarruma, a son of Šuppiluliuma, in rev. iii 2ʹ.

Contra Otten 1958, 112 fn. 1; Jakob-Rost 1963, 202 (with question mark); Haas – Wäfler 1977, 116; Fuscagni 2007, 58, a reading a-šu-ša-aš is impossible based on the traces in the photo. A reading ⸢aš-šu⸣-ša-aš could be considered, but even so cannot be a form of ašuša- ‘(ear)ring’, which is never spelled with geminate -šš- among its ample attestations. The most obvious restoration, **GAR].RA KÙ.SI₂₂ anda zinn[an, would be impossible to parse: it could not mean “inla]id (with) gold” due to word order (GAR.RA always followed inlay material). If the inlay were something else, then this would leave a marooned phrase “gold included” where a material, but no object, was specified (taking anda as a preverb of zinnai- would reduce this to just “gold”). Instead, it must be restored that an object made of gold ending in -ra was “included.” As already suggested by Otten 1958, 112 fn. 2, rev. iii 13ʹ should be restored from rev. iii 1ʹ, though he offered no restoration for ]x-da-ra. A restoration of the wellattested šakantat(t)ar- is thematically appropriate for the text, and the anda is taken in its sense “in addition.” The isolated zinn[an(?), then, refers to the entire statue or the description thereof.

Bo 2853 KUB 58.59 247 (Ḫattuša) NH Interior fragment from a two-column tablet with a broad intercolumnium, written in a dense, cursive script with no space before paragraph lines, variable amounts of end space and overruns into intercolumnium, and erasures. Garciá Trabazo – Groddek 2005, 154–55 (translit. only)

Contents Description of various objects with stone and precious metal components with notes on condition and maintenance status. Analysis Besides 10.3.1, 10.3.2 is the second major text of the condition and maintenance genre to explicitly document the process of repair. The maintenance actions include replating (obv. i(?) 4ʺ: EGIR-pa ḫališšer), bringing away (pēter in obv. i(?) 5ʺ, 12ʺ), which presumably refers to the transportation of damaged items to a workshop, and even full manufacture (obv. i(?) 9ʺ: EGIR-pa … DÙ-er ‘they made … in return’). The damage to the text unfortunately precludes determining which groups were responsible for the actions recorded in the text. The objects span the range of items that might be expected in a temple, including a cult image or figurine (obv. i(?) 5ʺ), what are probably tables or other objects with four legs (obv. i(?) 7ʺ, 13ʺ), jewelry (obv. i(?) 8ʺ), and even musical instruments (obv. i(?) 5ʺ). The last is especially interesting since it is only the second attestation of a lyre in the PTAC (cf. 8.1.A obv. ii 11ʹ). Weights of gold are given and damage is noted, including scratches (obv. i(?) 6ʺ; obv. ii(?) 5ʹ) and missing stones (obv. ii(?) 2ʹ, 11ʹ). In short, 10.3.2 is exactly the kind text one would expect from an administration that took a direct interest in temple maintenance, and especially the direct, fine-grained control of the production and curation of religious luxury objects.

Bo 1605 KUB 38.11 247 (Ḫattuša) NH An interior fragment written in a dense, cursive script with word spacing and a large amount of space before the preserved paragraph line. Rost 1961–63, 198–99

Contents Various temple objects made of precious materials described with notes on condition. Analysis As described by Rost 1961–63, 199: “Mit diesem Text handelt es sich offenbar um eine allgemeine Bestandaufnahme eines Tempelinventars. Die Kultgegenstände scheinen sich nicht mehr in guter Verfassung befunden zu haben … .” The level of detail is not high enough to count 11.3.2 among the Bildbeschreibung, but is more in line with that observed in the 10.1 General Temple Inventories. However, the fact that one of the figurines is described as missing its feet and wings places 10.3.3 best among the 10.3 Inventories Concerned with Condition and Maintenance. The disembodied 1 KIR₁₄ KÙ.B[ABBAR “1 silv[er] nose” in obv.? 3ʹ and 1 ŠU-aš “1 silver hand” in obv.? 5ʹ recall the frequent votive motif of offering model objects in order to cure the ailments of those body parts (cf. Vol. 1, 8.4 Vows Concerning Health and Wellness (The “Illness Vows”), passim).

IṢṢU in sg. gen. to indicate that an object was made of wood (sg. gen.

Analysis The contents and hand of 10.3.6 are very similar to 10.3.5 (and 10.3.13). However, the formatting and writing are much neater in comparison, suggesting that while the tablets could have been written by the same scribe, they did not belong to the same tablet. The scribal note in 8ʹ, if correctly restored (see Commentary to 8ʹ below), is further confirmation, along with the mention of the smiths in 10.3.1 rev. iii 7ʹ, that the damage noted in the inventories was part of a maintenance program for the items recorded.

Note, however, that MAŠADDU (MEŠEDU) means not only ‘spear, lance,’ but also ‘pole’ or any similar long, wooden objects, leaving open the possibility of another piece of furniture in this paragraph. See Commentary to 5.2 obv. ii 13 for discussion of arḫa duwarnai-, where it seems to be a technical term to “break down” a large mass of copper into more manageable pieces. Whether the same applies here to the object in 4ʹ–5ʹ is unclear: “broken down” in the sense of a piece of furniture, perhaps a table, that has been disassembled into smaller pieces for storage seems equally as plausible as “broken off” referring to some kind of damage.

Analysis 10.3.10 inventories a large number of ivory objects. The small objects are recorded in large groups, seemingly without comment on individual condition, whereas the tables are orgainized into groups by size, complete with exact measurements. Although no damage is described, the precise dimensions of the tables, the presence of tables and chairs among the maintenance inventories 10.3.5, 10.3.6, and 10.3.9, and the similarity of the list of ivory objects in 10.3.10 r. c. 11ʹ–16ʹ to the same in 10.3.12 suggest that 10.3.10 was also a maintenance inventory. See Yasur-Landau 2005 for discussion of three-legged tables in the Bronze Age Aegean and Mediterranean. As explained there, table legs (GÌR) could have up to three structural pieces, so that tables described as having nine “legs” in Mycenaean and Hittite inventories, as in 10.3.10 r. c. 8ʹ, were actually composed of three legs consisting of three pieces each. The remnants of what seems to be a simple intercolumnium with traces of a final horizontal can be seen at the beginning of r. c. 8ʹ and 9ʹ, indicating the preserved text comes from the middle or rightmost column of a multicolumn tablet.

Of these, the last text, 10.3.10, offers the closest parallel in format and contents to 10.1.13, though the handwriting is just different enough that an indirect join between the fragments seems unlikely. Although classification of 10.3.11 among the maintenance inventories is not assured, cf. the very similar list of offering equipment in 10.3.12.

IV. Storage

Contents An inventory of a large number of ivory objects, including unguentaria, combs, containers, and offering equipment (“down-setters”), with detailed description. Analysis 10.3.12 was designated in HVP (p. 68) as an Inventurprotokoll arising from an inspection or verification check (“Kontrolle”) of ivory implements. The notes on condition places the text more precisely in the category of the maintenance inventories. The text is subdivided by material, with objects made exclusively of ivory appearing up to the double paragraph line in obv. i 17ʹ and then offering equipment. Assuming that the objects were not stored in such a segregated fashion, the inventory must have entailed a physical gathering, or at least a peripatetic examination, of objects from various locations in the storehouse. The ductus uses some unusual sign-forms for the PTAC, e.g., ZU₉ beginning with BA-sign instead of more common UŠ-sign, and the four beginning horizontals of the RA-sign separated from the first vertical by an additional horizontal.

Presumably both adjectives qualify subsets of GAM-an tiyauwa (pl. coll.), and not different items. It is possible that the -za of šuppešduwaran-za is actually a Luwian neuter particle -ša/-za (van den Hout 1984; Melchert 2003, 186–87, Jasanoff 2010, Simon (forth.)). Otherwise an emendation is necessary. 14ʹ The barest traces of a Winkelhaken and the identical spacing to the line above allow for the numeral 20 to be restored in the break at the beginning of line obv. 14ʹ. 15ʹ If the total number of objects is 166, then the number to be restored at the beginning of obv. 15ʹ must be 27. 18ʹ The 6 is written as three vertical wedges struck through with a single horizontal wedge. 19ʹ šu-up-pé-eš-du-〈wa-ra〉-an-za is either a scribal mistake or possibly a phonemic writing reflecting a lost or weakly articulated intervocalic r (GHL §1.132 [p. 46]).

Analysis Although the contents (cf. especially GIŠŠU.ŠÙDUN ‘yoke’ in 10.3.13 2ʹ and 10.3.14 l. c. 7ʹ) and format (variably sized script with wandering lines) suggest a connection with 10.3.13, the ductus rules out a join. The presence of bed clothes in l. c. 9ʹ suggests that the preceding paragraph might describe a bed, in which case the “yoke” might be a technical term for a piece of a bed frame and the leather furnishings straps for supporting the mattress.

Contents A list of beds, garments, cloths, and utensils.

Commentary 2ʹ One expects to read GIŠ.NÁ, but the sign traces are difficult. It is possible the GIŠ was written over an erasure. HVP (p. 510 fn. 1) suggested a Sumerographic compound, on the grounds that the NÁ was written without a GIŠ determinative. A restoration of [n TÚGŠ]À.NÁ ‘bed sheet(?)’, although fitting the context of the tablet, is ruled out by insufficient space. 4ʹ If the restoration is correct, the “tarzū gold with copper” would constitute, somewhat surprisingly, the sole object actually made from this combination of materials in the PTAC.

Contents Objects made of silver and bronze, some of which are weighed. Analysis The appearance of a weight measurements in 11.1.6 is notable, but the text does not preserve any of the other features of a smithing receipt, such as a personal name or weight system (KI.LÁ NA₄/TI₈). In addition, the smithing texts as a rule do not mix precious and base metals, and evidence for bronzesmithing is lacking in the PTAC (see introductory Analysis to 3.1.12). It is not clear to what genre 11.1.6 should be assigned. Transliteration l. c. 1ʹ 2ʹ 3ʹ 4ʹ 5ʹ 6ʹ 7ʹ 8ʹ 9ʹ 10ʹ 11ʹ 12ʹ

Contents Large lots of garments and smaller numbers of iron (ore) tools and implements. Analysis The combination of various iron (ore) tools and implements and large numbers of garments (104 tunics in 8ʹ) suggest a regular stock-taking inventory of a storehouse.

Commentary 1ʹ The otherwise unattested TÚGlu-pár might be an mistaken inversion of TÚG BAR.DUL₈. 4ʹ As perhaps the only object ending with the normally neuter suffix -uzzithat is both common gender and also made of metal (the obscure URUDUkuruzzi- is only attested in inst., so its gender cannot be determined), intaluzzi- ‘shovel’ makes a good candidate for restoration here. For the restoration du[piyališ, cf. 4 dupiyal[iš in 9.1.5 rev.! 15ʹ; dupiyali- is the only object in the PTAC beginning with du- besides du-up-pa-aš ‘chest’, which would be unexpected here in the middle of a paragraph. 6ʹ Cf. 7 TÚG ÉRINMEŠ ma-aš-ša-ia-aš-ši-iš “7 ‘army’-cloths of shawl-cloth,” in 8.1.F rev. vi 15.

Contents Offering and libation equipment and model/votive weapons. Analysis The mix of washing vessels, libation vessels, and infusers next to weapons suggests that the latter were model or votive objects rather than functional implements. This is supported by the appearance of a ḫinzu in 6ʹ, an item that, regardless of what actually was (“(lightning-)bundle(?), goad(?), whip(?)”), appears in Hittite texts most often as an attribute of the Storm-god.

Contents Divine determinatives, a divine statue, and chest(s). Analysis From what little is preserved of the text, there does not seem to be enough detail to classify 11.2.1 as a Bildbeschreibung. The large number of divine determinatives suggests that 11.2.1 could have been part of a general temple inventory, in which the cult images were cataloged but not extensively described. The same noticeable vertical spacing between lines is also found in the temple inventories 10.1.2.2 and 10.1.2.8, but it cannot be said if this was a diagnostic feature of temple inventories. For the moment, 11.2.1 should be kept among the descriptively classifed 11.2 Inventory Fragments of Images, Figurines, and Model Objects. Transliteration 1ʹ [ … ]x[ 2ʹ Dx[ … 3ʹ x[ …

Since other clauses in the paragraph begin with a bird (cf. TI₈MUŠEN in 2ʹ, 3ʹ), it is tempting to interpret the stacked horizontals visible before the break in 5ʹ as the beginning of a ra-, i.e., a-r[a-am-ni-iš ‘hawk, falcon (vel sim.)’.

Contents Description of individual(?) cultic objects in the form of models and animal heads. Analysis 11.2.5 contains what seems to be a description of cultic objects, some of which consisted of animal heads or had animal heads as subcomponents. The gold AN.ZA.GÀR ‘tower’ in line 1ʹ might be compared, at least in shape, to the large ceramic vessels with lips in the form of crenellated walls with towers recovered at Boğazköy, e.g., the oft-photographed vessel fragment Inv. Nr. 342/p (Bittel 1958, 31 figs. 34a–b) now in the Ankara Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. The fact that seventy-four gold or silver fruit decorations were attached to the model suggests a very large and impressive model indeed.

Contents An inventory of small lots of arm rings, earrings, and circlets. Analysis The explicit syntax and individuality and level of detail with which the jewelry is described in 11.3.1 is unusual, equalled only by sections of the 9.1 Named Complex Inventories, and perhaps the fragment 11.3.2. The jewelry of 11.3.1 is listed by type: first arm rings – which receive a subtotal – then earrings, then circlets. The jewelry is then further subdivided into lots, with individual pieces identified by material and style of construction. The motivation for the division into lots is unclear, since no containers or persons are mentioned (though one could easily imagine named recipients being lost in the break at the end of the lines). As for language, the explicit use of iwar iyant‘made like/in the style of’ in obv. 20ʹ and 21ʹ is unparalleled in the PTAC. The proximal deictic pronouns in obv. 13ʹ (kūš ) and 21ʹ (kēdani ) probably introduced parenthetical comments that may have shed some light on the specific purpose or administrative context of the inventory, but the remainder of the lines is broken away.

Analysis Although the Konkordanz lists 11.3.2 as “mh.?,” I cannot see any clear evidence for such a dating in the paleography. HIT (p. 161) and HVP (p. 499) compared the contents to 8.4, with HVP pointing further to 9.1.10.A obv.//9.1.10.B, but nothing concrete can be said. The closest comparison is otherwise 11.3.1, which matches 11.3.2 in level of detail and individuality of the descriptions. A further comparison might be 9.1.1 (“The Inventory of Manninni”), based on level of detail and script. Transliteration r. c. 1ʹ [x] x x ⸢KÙ.SI₂₂⸣ x[

If 4ʹ: 2 du-upp[a-aš(?) is correctly restored, it is unexpected to find “2 chests” in the middle of a paragraph.

Contents A heterogenous collection of small numbers of silver objects. Analysis It cannot be determined to what stage of production, inventorying, or distribution the silver objects of 11.4.2 belong. The mix of categories, including implements (obv. 2ʹ: KANNU ‘rack/frame’), vessels (obv. 3ʹ: A.DA.GUR), jewelry (ḪAR.GÚ ‘torcs’ in obv. 5ʹ–6ʹ), but also what must be model objects (the presumably silver IM.ŠU.NÍG.RIN.NA ‘kiln’ in obv. 4ʹ) suggests the objects were catalogued based on material rather than function.

Contents Small numbers of ivory objects. Analysis Although 11.5.1 could have been part of a larger inventory of mixed objects, the eight preserved lines of ivory objects suggest an intentional gathering of objects by material.

Commentary rev.? r. c. 1ʹ Whereas HVP (p. 528) suggested a reading 1-NU ḫaš-/tar-ša-at-te-na, see now Lexical Commentary, s.v. (GI)nutaršattena-. Compare also 10.3.10 r. c. 11ʹ: nu-tar-ša-t]i(?)-na ZU₉ AM!(text: ŠU?).SI, on which the interpretation that the container here is made of ivory is based. Alternatively, it is possible that the ZU₉ AM.SI refers to the contents: thus, “1 nutaršattena-container (inside of which are) ivory (objects).” 2ʹ See HVP (p. 528 fn. 2) for rejection of the earlier suggestion of Güterbock 1971, 7, to take the ivory “bricks” as votive objects or gaming stones. The translation “Paneele” of HVP (p. 528) is preferred here. One wonders, then, if the “small ivory panels” of 11.5.2 rev.? r. c. 2ʹ were similar to the roughly 10 × 10 cm Megiddo ivory plaque (Field No.: b 2136; Oriental Institute Reg. No.: A22292) depicting a set of Hittite gods. 3ʹ Although HVP (p. 528 fn. 3) suggested a reading SÀ-AL- LU ‘basket’, it is unclear what should be read in the break before: the sign traces rule out a number or a GI or GIŠ determinative. It seems more probable that -ZALLU represents the end of a longer word.

Bo 1805 KUB 42.56 249.II (Ḫattuša) NH A large, single-column(?) tablet written a variably sized script, with space before irregularly drawn paragraph lines. HIT, 131–32. HVP, 521–24 (11.6.4)

Contents A list of small- to medium-sized lots of cloths and garments enumerated by type and color. Analysis 11.6.1 contains small- to medium-sized lots of cloths and garments described by type, with additional notes on style, construction, or colors, when applicable. As noted by HVP (p. 521), there is no obvious organizational principle or purpose for text. The seeming appearance now of a number of containers in line 6 (5 GIŠ!PISAN  ma-a[n-na-iš) only adds to the problem of classification. The hypothesis of HVP (p. 522) that the text represents small lots of items intended for distribution to various persons cannot be verified. In any event, the contents do not match those of the other handout texts, which tend to form coherent outfits. A closer comparison might be the crafting texts, given the weights of unfinished wool and linen and the phrase UGU/šēr arḫa iyant-, which are only attested elsewhere in the PTAC in the textile manufacturing text 4.1.4.1. The use of abbreviations in 11.6.1 for cloth names is only paralleled by a handful of texts (3.2.1, 4.2.6, 7.3), none of which abbreviate to the same extent. Transliteration 1 [x x ]x x[ x ]x[

It is not clear whether the items listed by weight (lines 6, 9, 10) are, with HVP (p. 522), “Präfabrikate,” i.e., ready-made garments of a specific weight, or simply bolts of cloth.

HIT, 169–70. HVP, 378–79 (9.2)

Contents Small- to medium-sized lots of shoes, belts, personal garments, and dining and table service cloths. Analysis As noted by HVP (p. 378), 11.6.2 shares a considerable amount of unique vocabulary with 4.2.9. However, there is otherwise no evidence that 11.6.2 was also an allocations text, leading van den Hout 2006 (p. 86) to recommend reclassification of the text as a simple inventory fragment, with which the present edition is inclined to agree. Thematically, 11.6.2 is most similar to 11.6.3 and 11.6.4, which include the same mixture of personal garments, shoes, and “functional” linens, i.e., all the dining cloths necessary for table service (see discussion in Lexical Commentary s.v. GADA anda damaššuaš). It may be imagined that the presence of such inventories in Temple 1 had to do with the regularity of cultic meals for priests and members of the royal family, who were waited on with elaborate precision during the meals (see Burgin 2019, 113–46, for a reconstruction of the choreography of the Hattic-Hittite drinking ceremony).

problem of the missing GIŠ determinative. The assertion of Vigo 2010, 296 fn. 56 that the photo confirms the reading of HIT (p. 170): GADA kar-na-ša-aš over HVP (p. 379): GIŠkar-na-ša-aš is dubious. The comparison of the sign in question in l. e. 6 with the GADA and GIŠ of l. e. 3 shows that it groups with the latter: note how the heads of the horizontal wedges of the GIŠ in l. e. 6 line up on top of each other and do not transect the vertical, whereas the lower horizontal wedge of

Commentary obv.? 6ʹ As already discussed by HVP, 517 (fn. 2), a restoration of EGIR-an ar-[ḫa SU]D-aš would be highly desirable based on context, but the vertical wedge before the final -aš rules out the expected -u-. HVP suggested that the scribe omitted the -u- for space considerations, but a simple mistake is also possible. 7ʹ Contra HVP (p. 518), the 1-EN GIŠBA[NŠUR] probably represents the last in a sequence of gapped constructions agreeing with the 5 GA[DA] in obv.? 5ʹ rather than an actual table, which anyways would be unexpected in a list of garments.

Contents List of small numbers of personal garments and cloths in lots. Analysis Inventories purely of personal garments and cloths that also include shoes are not especially common: 11.6.2 and 11.6.3 are most similar in contents. The GADA arr]umaš (11.6.4 rev. 4ʹ) and GADA gazarnul (rev. 5ʹ, l. e. 1ʹ) suggest that table service cloths were also included. The hand is probably the same as 11.6.2 (cf. especially the idiosyncratic NA-signs with the horizontal set very high, in line with the Winkelhaken), but an indirect join would seem to be prohibited by the differing number of lines on the left edges of the two fragments (11.6.4 could accommodate no more than four lines, with l. e. 1ʹ being the final line, compared to the seven preserved in 11.6.2).

Contents Large lots of personal garments enumerated by color and construction. Analysis Although the contents of 11.6.5 are very similar to the allocations text 4.2.6, the hands of the tablets are too different to be a join (thus already HVP, 384 fn. 1). Without a join, there is no reason to classify 11.6.5 as anything other than a generic inventory fragment.

Commentary rev. 5ʹ Contra HIT (p. 168) and HVP (p. 386), a restoration Š]UM NU.GAL “name not there” is unexpected in the middle of a list of garments (names in PTAC are always appended to votive objects, as in 7.3, 9.1.7, and 9.2.4). Instead, an object ending in .ŠUM/-ŠUM should be restored, with MAR.ŠUM ‘strap’ a good candidate, since it is a separable and hence easily misplaced garment component. 8ʹ Compare 2 TÚGGABA ḪAŠ-MAN-NI QA- DU GADA in 8.1.E(A₁) rev. iv 6ʹ.

11.6 Inventory Fragments of Cloths and Garments

Commentary 1ʹ The “3 ½” shirts preserved in line 1ʹ seems impossible, but the signs are clear: even if the GÚ is incorrect, the GADA is clearly preserved, and rules out an expected KÙŠ or other unit of measurement. It must be that either that the ½ was a mistake based on the measurements in the following lines and should be emended away, or that the shirts were designated as “half-ell” shirts, thus necessitating an emendation of ½〈.KÙŠ〉.

Bo 1502 KUB 42.24 241.I (Ḫattuša) NH Small fragment from middle lower edge of multicolumn tablet with simple column divider. HIT, 174. HVP, 438 (10.Q)

Contents Fragmentary text mentioning small numbers of objects and chests. Analysis 11.7.1 presents a difficult-to-categorize fragment. HVP (p. 438) classified the text as belonging the transport texts based on the GIŠPISA]N SA₅ KUR mizri in l. c. 3ʹ and the shared handwriting with 8.1.A (HVP, 438 fn. 61, with no obvious join). Indeed, it may be added to this that the sequence of lines in the 11.7.1 r. c. 1ʹ, 2ʹ and 3ʹ, 4ʹ, each beginning with a Glossenkeil, is most closely paralleled by 8.1.A obv. ii 5ʹ, 6ʹ. However, “Egyptian chests” also appear outside of the the transport texts: cf. 2.11 obv.? 6ʹ: [GI/GIŠPISAN SA₅ KUR mi-i]z-ri. Moreover, the use of conjugated Akkadian verbs (see 11.7.1 l. c. 2ʹ, if restored correctly) and the appearance of a chest at the end of the paragraph are unexpected in the transport series. Thus, although it is clear that 11.7.1 was composed by the same scribe as 8.1.A, this does not guarantee it was also a transportation text. 11.7.1 will remain unclassified until a better parallel can be found.

11.7 Unclassified Inventory Fragments

Description:

583

A small fragment from the right-hand side of tablet, written in a neat, if somewhat idiosyncratic script (NA-signs with Winkelhaken in line with horizontal). —

Previous Edition(s): Contents

Small number of cloth belts and weighed quantities of various metals. Analysis An interesting fragment that unfortunately offers no joins or classification. The mix of cloth items and weighed metals is puzzling. A crafting text for an object combining cloth belts and a relatively large quantity of metal is possible, but without parallel. The presence of raw tin is also unusual: it is otherwise only attested in tribute lists (3.1.7, 3.1.5) or disbursements from palace storehouses (5.2), neither of which seem to apply here. Transliteration and translation to be provided following official publication.

16/o KBo 44.117 250 — NH A small fragment with a visible Randleiste at top. Roszkowksa-Mutschler 2007, 99 (translit. only)

Contents Small numbers of objects and weights of metal. Analysis The combination of a person(?) and place name(?) (rev.? 1), enumerated objects (rev.? 2), and weights of metal (rev.? 3–6) suggest a crafting text. A tribute list is another possibility, but the small quantities of metal argue against this. The variety of metals (bronze, iron (ore), and a possible third variety in rev.? 6) is unusual. The text remains unclassified.

Contents A large number of models of mostly aquatic creatures made out of various metals and semiprecious stones. Analysis Previously identified as either a list of ornaments and jewelry (HIT, 166) or jewelry and cult objects (HVP, 501), the new joins now reveal 12.1.1 to be a list of model fauna required for a ritual (r. c. 4ʹ “But when the king to the sea …”). The Hurrian bird names in r. c. 3ʹ suggest the ritual belonged to the Kizzuwatnean cultic layer, and thus that the sea in question is the Mediterranean. Why the ritual should require such an extensive set of figurines of mostly aquatic creatures – over 100 are visible or reconstructable in the text preserved – and how they were employed is a mystery.

(cf. the same lemma in 8.1.G obv. r. c. 8ʹ and perhaps 11.6.1 6, with normal MA-sign). That the ma!- has the same atypical configuration in the same word across two different texts is best interpreted as a shared scribal idiosyncrasy, i.e., that 8.1.F and 12.1.3 were written by the same hand, rather than evidence for a new Sumerogram. Because mannai- everywhere else modifies GI/GIŠPISAN, it may be tentatively suggested that the term designated a type of container.

AO 7717 FHL 31 250 (Ḫattuša) NH A small, pillow-shaped tablet with the rev. inscribed with margin lines on all sides. —

Contents A list of grain quantities held by high government officials. Analysis As discussed by Gordin 2015, 149, since the obverse and reverse are identical in contents but written in very different hands, this is almost certainly a school or training text. One may suspect that the obverse was the student’s copy based on the unusual sign forms and overrun of the allotted margin lines. The string of clearly preserved but unintelligible wedges on the lower edge are also the student’s handiwork. As pointed out by Gordin (loc. cit., with reference to d’Alfonso 2005, 76 for Piḫaziti), the officials named in the text are all scribes or officials of the highest rank from Ḫattuša and Karkamiš during the time of Ḫattušili III and Tudḫaliya IV. That a constellation of some of the most powerful men in the Hittite government are recorded as receiving relatively modest amounts of agricultural products in a single text virtually confirms that the contents are a fictitious scenario created for the purposes of the scribal exercise.

Contents A list of metals and precious stones. Analysis Although HIT (p. 96) described 12.2.2 only as a “list of (semi)precious stones,” the heterogeneitty and uncommonness of the stones, the unprecedented use of half-shekel and sub-half-shekel measurements – if the obscure arumu-x may be interpreted as such – the repetition of digits (3, 33, 133), the abundance of erasures, and the highly variable script strongly suggest a school exercise text, specifically for a scribe being trained for economic matters.

323/z KBo 55.4 240(?) (or 229?) Temple 1 (west storeroom, no. 33) MH Small fragment from multicolumn tablet, written in a dense, variably sized script with no word spacing or space before paragraph lines. —

Contents A sales record involving a moderately large field (12 tools, and grain in the town of Wāniya(-).

IKU

≈ 43,200 m2 = 10.67 acres),

Analysis The Inhaltsübersicht to KBo 55 (p. iv) identifies 323/z as a “mheth. Fragment mit Bezug auf Felderkäufe(?).” Real estate transactions are extremely rare in the Hittite corpus, and perhaps even unattested outside of the present text, 12.3.2, and possibly one other Middle Hittite fragment, KBo 62.32. 12.3.2 is currently classified as CTH 239(?) in the Konkordanz. However, as will be discussed, the mention of silver means that it is certainly unrelated to most of the “Feldertexte” genre of CTH 239, which exclusively concern sowing and yields (Souček 1959; del Monte 1995, 122–25). The other possible real estate transaction, KBo 62.32, is currently classified under CTH 229 “Sales Agreements,” and preserves little more than a list of witnesses and a cylinder seal impression (see Wilhelm 2007). It is possible that both 12.3.1 and 12.3.2 should be reclassified to join KBo 62.32 under CTH 229, but the KBo 62.32 is unfortunately too damaged to establish whether its contents were similar 12.3.1 and 12.3.2, which do not preserve witnesses or a seal impression. The age of 12.3.1 would explain the atypical ductus for the PTAC, and perhaps also the genre: there are no known parallels in NH recording a real estate transaction, suggesting that the genre – if 12.3.1, 12.3.2, and possibly KBo 62.32 may be taken to constitute a genre – died out after this period. That it occurred at the same time as the death of the Landschenkungsurkunden (see comments on dating in Rüster – Wilhelm 2012) might be further evidence that the Hittite palace withdrew from the quotidian management of real-estate in the New Kingdom, at least by means of documents written on clay (the exceptional grants of Ḫattušili III to Ura-Tarḫunta [CTH 224] and

Tudḫaliya IV to Šahurunuwa [CTH 225] notwithstanding; cf. however, discussion and criticism of Singer’s hypothesis of a shift to wooden writing boards for the land grants in van den Hout 2020, 222–32). The use of a conjugated Akkadian verb (NI-ID-DI-IN in 5ʹ) is unusual, but the Hittite ḫalkiuš ‘grains’ (pl. acc. or nom.) in line 7ʹ shows, contra Soysal (2016, 422) that the text was not written entirely in Akkadian (compare KBo 62.32, with Hittite [n]a-aš-za in obv. 6ʹ and what is possibly an Akkadian verb in obv. 8ʹ, which Wilhelm 2007, 90, tentatively restores as I-ŠA-[AM/MU ‘he/they sold’). The fact that the text was found in Temple 1 suggests that the transaction might have involved a prebend assigned for the temple’s support. The identity of the “we” in NIDDIN is unknown. The reasons for the involvement of Karunuwa, a high-ranking Middle Hittite scribal offical, are unclear. One wonders if the personal interest of a scribe explains why a real estate transaction was recorded in cuneiform at all (compare the involvement of the two named DUB.SAR.GIŠ in 12.3.2).

the time of Tudḫaliya IV (CTH 225). The latter is more promising, since a Karunuwa is attested as a scribe in a number of MH texts (see Fuscagni, hethiter.net/: CTH 137.1 (TX 17.02.2014, TRde 19.02.2014), translatio §20ʹʹʹ, 89 fn. 8) and in the scribal genealogies (Beckman 1983, 105–7, dating Karunuwa to 14th century; Bilgin 2018, 252: “early Empire period”), where he is described as the LÚḫālipi ŠA KUR.UGU ‘hālipi-man of the Upper Land’, a rare title associated with scribal families (Gordin 2015, 158 fn. 646, 159; Bilgin 2018, 252 fn. 797).

Contents A list of small numbers of fields with valuations(?) in shekels with mention of quantities of grain and other agricultural products and two named administrators. Analysis Were it not for the different find locations, 12.3.2 would be a very promising indirect join to 12.3.1 based on ductus, contents, and especially formatting (note the similar density and sign-size variability). The principal difference between the texts is that 12.3.2 only assesses fields by their value in silver, but does not record an actual transaction (KBo 13.254 3ʹ: 4 IKU 3 GÍN.GÍN “4 fields (valued at) 3 shekels (silver)”; 7ʹ: n IKU n] GÍN.GÍN TA!.AM 3 IKU 2 GÍN.G[ÍN TA.ÀM(?) “n fields (valued at) n] shekels (silver) each, 3 fields (valued at) 2 shekel[s (silver) each(?)”). It would nevertheless be unsurprising to find that a sales formula was lost in the break at the end of a line or paragraph: the presence of a pair of administrators (DUB.SAR.GIŠ) in 5ʹ and 6ʹ, with the second explicitly in dative case, suggests that some sort of exchange or transfer is taking place. Even if this were not the case, the fact that the fields were denominated by their value in silver

is further demonstration that a private market for real estate existed in the Middle Hittite period, and that the Hittite palace sometimes interacted with this market. The paleographic similarities of 12.3.2 to 12.3.1, which can be securely dated thanks to the scribe Karanuwa (see Commentary to 12.3.1 2ʹ above), would seem to confirm the earlier assessment of van den Hout 1987–90, 522 that 12.3.2 was a Middle Hittite text, and not Old Hittite as suggested by Torri 2009, 216 fn. 56 based on sign forms.

Commentary 3ʹ, 7ʹ The interpretation of van den Hout 1987–90, 522, of GÍN.GÍN as a surface area measurement unique to this text should be discarded. A more straightforward solution is instead the well-attested use of GÍN without further qualification to mean “shekels (of silver)”: cf. 1.2, passim, in the explicit context of ŠÀM ‘sales price’. 6ʹ The two DUB.SAR.GIŠ named in 12.3.2 are otherwise unattested. Contra Bilgin 2018, 159 fn. 296, it is unlikely that Malaš-Inar the DUB.SAR.GIŠ of 12.3.2 5ʹ and Malaš-Inar of Bo 91/1602 obv. 27ʹ (Urkunde 15 in Rüster – Wilhelm 2012, dated to the reign of Telipinu) are the same individual (the citation of Torri 2009, 217 fn. 59 suggested only that Malaš-Inar shares a

similar onomastic structure to Ḫaššuwaš-Inar of Urkunden 11 and 17 in Rüster – Wilhelm 2012, while making no mention of Malaš-Inar in Urkunde 15). That the second Malaš-Inar is listed among a paragraph of semi-free householders given away in the land grant, all whom were of lowly occupation and with no demonstrable connection to the palace administration, would seem to rule out his identification with Malaš-Inar the government clerk. The inscribed verticals of the TA! are very lightly impressed, with only the shadow of the rightmost vertical visible in the photo. Contra Torri 2009, 217 and Torri – Barsacchi 2018, 286, the non-existence of an appropriate Hittite word ša-a-an (a n. nom.-acc. sg. participle from šā(y)e-, šāi- ‘to be sullen, angry’, makes no sense here) and the well-attested usage of TA.ÀM after enumerated units of measurement, including shekels, suggest that the sign be either interpreted as damaged, or emended to TA. It is possible that the beginnings of a T[A.ÀM are visible at the ends of lines 3ʹ and 7ʹ, but the positioning of the wedge heads leave room for doubt. See Hoffner 2007, 377 fn. 2 for other attestations of 1 ŠU-ŠI “one sixty” for the number sixty at Ḫattuša, analogous to the more common 1 ME ‘one hundred’ and 1 LIM ‘one thousand’.

gathering for caravan (note the mention of a “sitting wagon” in 9ʹ). It is interesting to note that one pair of earrings was of sufficient value to warrant mention alongside herds of horses and servants.

AnAr 15154 ABoT 2.361 250 — NH An interior fragment written in a hasty, cursive script with irregular word spacings. Akdoğan 2010, 165–66 (translit. only)

Contents A list of single or unenumerated animal hides in nominative preceded by a location in genitive or dative-locative and followed by another hide in dative. Analysis 12.3.6 is closest in form to the baker’s receipt 12.3.4, but here the topic is leatherworking. The spacing, script, and repetitive nature of this fragment suggest it may be one

of the few true “rough drafts” of Hittite economic texts, i.e., written in the moment and without a clear plan how the final data should be organized. No firm conclusions can be drawn about the original purpose of the text. The organizational scheme of location (gen. or dat.-loc.?), animal hide (nom.), and animal hide (dat.) suggests some kind of distribution or exchange, though the context is completely opaque. Classification under 4.1.3 Wool and Hide Processing Texts could also be considered.

Commentary 1ʹ Akdoğan 2010, 165 suggested pá]r?-na-aš, but given the UR.GI₇ and UZ₆ in 3ʹ and 6ʹ respectively, one expects an animal name in genitive here. An ulipnaš ‘wolf’ could be imagined in the context of a ritual, even if the other animals preserved in the text are from the domestic sphere. 3ʹ Based on the ḫi-lam-⸢na?⸣-aš in 6ʹ, one would expect a location to be named here before UR.GI₇. The UD of KISLAH (=KI.UD) is clearly visible, but the inscribed horizontals of the preceding KI? are not preserved, probably to due abrasion or possibly a mistake. 7ʹ KUŠ-aš written at a diagonal, crossing into the line above.

Contents Direct speech containing personal names followed by small quantities of jewelry and garments. Analysis The direct speech raises the possibilty that 12.3.7 is a fragment from a court proceeding. See also the appearance of Šalwini in the court proceedings KUB 13.34+ rev. iv 26 and KUB 13.35+ rev. iii 44, where he is among a group of officials taking a collective oath not to embezzle property of the queen.
