KIN oracle fragment possibly concerning a cult statue

introductio



Kurzbeschreibung

The text is a small fragment that consists of only nine incomplete lines. The mention of the goddess Ḫannaḫanna in line 4 may suggest that it is a report on a KIN oracle inquiry. If the proposed reading for obv. 6′ is correct (KÙ.S]I₂₂(?) KI.GUB(?)), the oracle inquiry likely concerns a cult statue that stands on a golden pedestal. The issue in question could involve negligence related to the maintanace of the statue.
