Description
Summary:B 158 is a Seleucid-period manuscript of the bilingual Balaĝ prayer Ukkin-ta eš-bar til-la. The tablet, which was found at Babylon in 1902 and is edited here for the first time, contains major portions of text that have hitherto been unknown. The prayer is suffused with first-millennium Nabû theology and contains a unique literary request for revenge against the enemy in the mountain lands. The findspot of B 158 may shed light on the provenance of the Late Babylonian kalûtu library of the Nanna-utu family.
