| 520 | _aThe present article is devoted to two tablets discovered at Tell Harmal, the ancient Šaduppum, in 1945 and 1948. It offers a re-edition of IM 54005 and the publication of the previously unpublished IM 51881. The latter is a letter addressed to Samsi-Addu; it is a duplicate of the second letter from the Prince (rubûm) of Ešnunna contained in IM 54005, which completes its text and enables us to understand it better. A study of the geographical and historical context brings to light hitherto unknown elements, such as a place called Šinam (different from Šinamum), or the role of King Yakun-Derim of Huršitum. The events mentioned predate Samsi-Addu’s conquest of Mari, when he was still subordinate to the king of Ešnunna (Ipiq-Adad II or Naram-Sin). The two tablets, partly duplicates, contain many obscure passages, and not only because of their state of preservation; they are clearly school exercises. This shows that copying “historical letters” in Akkadian was part of the scribes’ training and suggests that these copies reflect authentic texts. | ||
