Title
YOS 3, 26 – A letter from the early reign of Nebuchadnezzar II from the temple of Amurru in the Sealand
Abstract
This note suggests an addition to the early administrative letter corpus of the Eanna temple, by identifying the sender of YOS 3, 26 as the temple administrator of the temple of Amurru, implying a date around the begining of Nebuchadnezzar II’s reign. The argument rests on an analysis of patters of interaction between different officials, the chronological distribution of a particular rhetorical element as well as on the contents of the letter. It includes a re-edition of the letter.
