Tablet B contains two variants that seem to point to its differing geographical affinity (H2
and H132). In light of these variants there seems to be grounds for linking tablet B, or its
Vorlage, with the city of Nippur (see notes and above).
Tablet e contains a reference to the deity Adad (H248) as the instrument of Hammurabi’s
justice. This has been described as possibly due to the increase cultic role of the deity
Adad in the period in which the tablet was written (see note and the references there).
