Cuneiform texts, Ishbi-Erra, Kingdom of Isin, Economic texts, Old Babylonian periodAbstract
During our PhD research, we identified a distinct economic text among the corpus of texts assigned to us. As all the texts were of unknown origin, the researcher relied on an analysis of the text's formal features, cuneiform script, content, and historical context to determine its date.
The text dates to the early Old Babylonian period, specifically to the thirty-third year of the reign of King Išbi-Erra, the founder of the Dynasty of Isin.
Preserved in the Iraq Museum under number ( IM 62890), the text addresses an economic matter pertaining to leather. Notably, its writing style exhibits a predominantly Sumerian character, employing a greater number of Sumerian vocabulary and lexemes than Akkadian—a distinctive feature of texts from this period.
