Summary: | This article presents a study of the little known sidru-offering from the Neo-Babylonian Ebabbar temple at Sippar. The source data comes from an unpublished tablet belonging to the so-called Ebabbar archives. It is the only known example of the performance of this offering in a Babylonian temple. The organization of the cult and cultic calendar of Babylonian temples are the subject of numerous studies and much debate; the content of this tablet contributes valuable new data to the discussion. |
