Description of the Sources
A 1 , K6324+; A 2 , K6810+
After several joins were made this tablet is now the best preserved of all of the sources. It
is written a regularly sized and spaced Neo-Assyrian script, with only minor crowding of
the signs in obv i:35-36. The tablet contains four columns separated by narrow double
vertical rulings. Single horizontal rulings mark the upper and lower margins, although
obv i:61 is written below the lower margin. Single horizontal rulings separate the text
into sections. While the height of the tablet cannot be determined with precision (it is ca.
23 cm in height), it is 15cm in width, 1.5cm thick at the edges and about 2.5 cm thick at
the centre. The reverse is quite convex, and obverse only slightly so. Where the corner of
the tablet is preserved (at the bottom left edge) the angle is less than 90 degrees, forming
an acute point. The different colour of the individual fragments suggests the tablet was
broken and burned in antiquity, though there is no visible vitrification. The cross section
reveals that the clay is free of impurities.
