FOREWORD

This volume is the first in a series (called 'Supplements') meant to complement the publication of the corpus of Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia. The Supplements will be devoted to the full publication of coherent groups of unpublished royal inscriptions and related texts. These inscriptions will be incorporated in the relevant volumes of the Corpus as well, where they will appear in standard format (transliteration, translation, and brief commentary). The Supplements will also offer special studies on particular aspects or problems of royal inscriptions so as not to burden the Corpus volumes unduly. The editors wish to stress that the 'Supplements' are a series, not a journal. Volumes will appear at irregular intervals as the need arises. E. Sollberger, Editor-in-chief

PREFACE

The inscriptions and objects catalogued in this volume are in the Tablet Archive of the Archaeological Museums in Istanbul and come from the German excavations at Ashur during the period c. 1905-14. The antiquities found by that expedition were eventually divided between Istanbul and Berlin (see ARRIM 1, pp. 15-18) and until now there has been no systematic publication of the objects by collection. The appearance of this catalogue coincides very well with the publication of the clay cones in the Berlin museum last year (L. JakobRost, FuB 22). With these two volumes Assyriologists now have a complete publication of all clay cones found at Ashur by the German expedition. Although some of the longer and more important inscriptions in this volume have been published previously, several are published here for the first time. Traditionally royal inscriptions have been studied and published from a chronological perspective, and this is the procedure followed in the main series of the Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia Project. While this approach makes sense from the point of view of a modern historian and text editor it does not take into account the practical considerations of the manner in which the objects upon which the ancient texts appear are stored. Museums store and display their holdings within a given department according to the objects' forms (brick, cone, tablet, etc.) and material (clay, stone, metal, etc.) Catalogues of inscribed objects according to form and material are a fundamental necessity for researchers working on royal inscriptions. It is appropriate therefore that this, the first such Mesopotamian catalogue for the Istanbul collection, should also be the first monograph to be published by the Royal Inscriptions of Mesopotamia Project. The preparation of the clay cones for publication has been a cooperative effort. Mrs Muazzez Çig, former curator of the Tablet Archive, proposed the undertaking to us in 1969. The copies were made by Donbaz, who is now the curator, and the notes by Grayson. We have gone over the inscriptions together twice in Istanbul (1969 and 1977) and have consulted in person as well in Toronto in 1980 and 1982. Dr Grant Frame and Dr Douglas Frayne have rendered assist-

xii Preface ance in the preparation of the manuscript and did some final checking during their collation trips to Istanbul in 1981. The texts are published by courtesy of the authorities of the Arkeoloji Miizeleri, Istanbul. Grayson wishes to thank his colleagues Mrs Çig and Mrs Fatma Yildiz for their co-operation and hospitality during his time in the museum. Thanks are due to the Canada Council and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for supporting the research behind this book. Our thanks go to Drs Mario Fales (Venice) and Alan Millard (Liverpool) who read a preliminary manuscript and offered several improvements. Dr Hannes Galter checked the manuscript and compiled the indexes, Professors Louis D. Levine and Gilbert J.P. McEwan saw the work through the press, and Professor Ronald F.G, Sweet made a final check for accuracy; to all of these scholars we are grateful. Our thanks go to Miss Lorraine Ourom for her help in preparing the manuscript for press. For computer work and typing we thank Mrs Katherine Glaser, Miss Hope Grau, and Mrs Lydia Noakes. V.D.

INTRODUCTION

Clay cones are certainly the most unusual of the variety of objects upon which Assyrian royal inscriptions were inscribed. Unlike bricks, statues, reliefs, steles, and even clay tablets, the form and function of which are immediately recognizable, the clay cones do not fit any pattern familiar to our modern minds. Not until the early part of this century did the function of the clay cone become known with the discovery of some of them in situ in the Old Palace at Ashur; a similar find in the palace at Khorsabad some years later verified the solution to the old question. The term '(clay) cone' is an inadequate translation of the Assyrian word sikkatu (zikkatu, ziqqatu), the name of the object which commonly occurs in the inscribed texts. Some scholars use the term 'knob' or 'boss* (occasionally 'nail' or 'peg') and in old publications fragments of clay cones were often described as pieces of vases or jar rims since the form of the clay cone was not generally recognized. It is a hollow, oblong conical object, which is tapered almost to a point at one end and bears a large semi-spherical head at the other end. Within the limits of this description there is quite a diversity of shape. A useful diagram of the forms, arranged in chronological order, has been published by Andrae (see fig. 1 below).1 A companion to the clay cone is the clay plate. The tapered shaft of the cone was inserted into a hole in the centre of the plate, and the combined object was placed in the upper portion of the interior wall of a room with the plate flat against the wall and the head of the cone protruding. The visible portions were often enamelled; the colour is still present on a few of the cones and plates on display in Istanbul. Rich illustrations of beautifully preserved specimens in East Berlin are found in a fine volume published by Andrae,2 and an illustration of 1

A The clay cone was a feature of Sumerian jil\ and Babylonian architectural decoration, ^ J / and this is where the Assyrian counterpart, jfL at least in inspiration, had its origin. Much I ^ ) more has been written about this phenomenon in the southern culture; Kraus, in particular, has explored the origin of the clay cone, tracing it back to procedures accompanying property sales.4 More recently Ellis has studied the form and function of the object in relation to foundation deposits in Babylonia; he briefly mentions the Assyrian counterpart. 5 Clay cones are well attested in the third millennium in Babylonia and in the Old Babylonian period but after that the numbers diminish and eventually there is only the odd archaic survival such as at Ur during the reign of Ashurbanipal. The appearance of the clay cone in Assyria follows the well-known pattern of Babylonian cultural influences on the northern civilization. It first emerges in Assyria about the middle of the second Figure 1 : sikkatu types from millennium, the period when it was disapASšur (after Andrae, pearing in Babylonia. Once established it Coloured Ceramics p. 64) continued as a viable feature until the last days of the Assyrian empire, the latest exemplars being of Sîn-šarraiškun.

Introduction

from a study of descriptions of building activities in royal inscriptions, the installation of the clay cones in a building was accompanied in both Babylonia and Assyria by a dedication ceremony at the completion of construction.6 The form of the inscriptions on the clay cones of the south has been thoroughly analysed by Kraus and Hallo, the latter scholar including them under the general category 'building inscriptions.'7 In Assyria, apart from annalistic texts, virtually all types of royal inscriptions viz. display texts, commemorative labels, labels, and dedicatory texts are attested, which is what one would expect by analogy with the southern custom. The relatively small size of the object precluded lengthy inscriptions and thus annalistic narratives were excluded. Although all the clay cones from Babylonia now in the Istanbul museum were catalogued by Kraus, the Assyrian objects have, until now, never been catalogued or fully published. In recent years the entire Ashur collection, of which the clay cones form a significant part, has been baked, cleaned, and renumbered by the museum staff so that it is now in the best possible condition for study. The collection of clay cones consists altogether of just over three hundred items ranging in size from fully preserved exemplars to tiny pieces. We have worked on this material periodically over a decade and believe that no further significant progress can be made with respect to joins and decipherment without physically bringing together this group and the East Berlin group. Just as this book was being readied for publication Dr Liane Jakob-Rost published the clay cones from Ashur in East Berlin.8 We have been able to incorporate those texts in this manuscript where they are relevant, particularly in the section on Shalmaneser in. The inscriptions on these objects concern construction work on a variety of structures in Ashur: walls, gates, temples, and palaces. Chronologically, the collection spans the history of the city Ashur from the middle of the second millennium to its destruction in the seventh century BC, a period of almost one thousand years. Some periods and reigns are better represented than others; particularly noteworthy is Shalmaneser hi (858-824 BC), whose texts account for more than one-quarter of the entire corpus. Copies of some of the inscriptions have been published by Messerschmidt and Schroeder in KAH while others have appeared only in transliteration in Ebeling, Meissner, and Weidner, IAK. A significant number of the inscriptions in this book have never 6

4 Clay Cones been published before. We have also included the results of our collations of the previously known texts. The fact that earlier scholars had no access to the Istanbul collection but worked from excavation photographs or rough copies led to many misunderstandings and misinterpretations which can now be corrected. This book is arranged as a catalogue with the texts, apart from unidentified fragments, appearing in chronological order. The format of text descriptions is self-explanatory but a word must be said about the copies. Hand copies of Assyrian royal inscriptions reflecting the true form of the original signs are surprisingly few; to help correct this situation all texts have been copied with the exception of those for which accurate copies have already been published. The multiple duplicates of an inscription of Shalmaneser i (texts 32-90 below), however, have not been copied since this would serve no good purpose. In the case of previously published texts only the principal references are given. A full bibliography will be found in Borger, HKL 1-3, EAK 1; and Schramm, EAK 2.

But as noted in Grayson, ARI 1 p. 154, the pieces neither join nor belong to the same object.

Collation of this exemplar shows: 8) [e-nu]-ma šal-hu-ú [šūt e-na-hu]-ma In line 12 there is some uncertainty as to the reading of the final element (see Saporetti, Onomastica 2 p. 70 and Eponimi p. 56; Grayson, BiOr 38 [1981] 77). The sign previously read MA has, in fact, four horizontal wedges, not three as the MA sign in line 8.

This fragment duplicates Weidner, IAK XX 1, lines 4-19 with the omission of lines 8-14 as described by Weidner, IAK p. 60 n. f. Thus it belongs to one of the large groups of variants listed by Weidner on pp. xxiii-xxiv under n and in. This, together with Ass 15384 and Ass 6915 (see nos. 28 and 29 below), is the first attestation of this inscription on a sikkatu.

There are many sikkatu fragments in Istanbul which duplicate the text published by Weidner as IAK XXI 2 - Grayson, ARI 1 LXXVII 2. These have been divided into three categories: a) exemplars used by Weidner; b) previously unpublished exemplars positively identified; c) previously unpublished fragments of possible exemplars. Hand copies of the first two categories have not been given since Weidner's text is reliable.

22 Clay Cones 114 Ass 6999 (A 3455); copy on pL 11; Aššur-rēša-iši i(?); previously unpublished. Both Aššur-rēša-iši i and Tiglath-pileser i worked on the temple of An and Adad at Ashur. Tiglath-pileser i refers to the earlier concern of Šamšî-Adad m and Aššur-dān i for the same structure but never mentions the name of his father, Aššur-rēša-iši i, in this regard, a curious omission (see Weidner, Tn. note to no. 65 and further Grayson, ARI 2 §6). Thus it is very unlikely that this is a text of Tiglath-pileser i. The fragmentary inscription refers to the work of earlier kings (cf. Ass 12572 no. I l l above, which could be a duplicate) and mentions the name Aššur-rēša-iši in line 4', possibly by way of concluding with the name of the author of the present enterprise.

Lacuna? 115 Ass 6719 (A 3449); copy on pl. 12; Tiglath-pileser i(?); text not published but discussed by Weidner, AfO 13 (1939-44) p. 312 and cf. Grayson, ARI 2 p. 1 n. 8. This fragment seems to be a duplicate of Ass 16474 (no. 116) and Ass 18474 (no. 117), the three fragments representing three different exemplars of the same text. Also note Ass 11601 (no. 118). The inscription has unusual concluding formulae but it is impossible to reconstruct the original text satisfactorily. The attribution to Tiglath-pileser i is suggested by the fact that the structure, the name of which is not preserved, was worked upon by Ilu-süma, Shalmaneser (l), and Aššur-dān (i). This can only be the Old or Assyrian Ištar Temple since texts of I1u-šūma speak only of this structure (see Grayson, ARI 1 xxxu). The other known builders of the temple are Sargon i, Puzur-Aššur m, Adad-nārārī i, Shalmaneser i, Tukulti-Ninurta i, and Tiglath-pileser i. This conclusion agrees with Saporetti, Eponimi p. 152, who placed the eponym Aššur-kêna-ša11im in the reign of Tiglath-pileser i. Lacuna r) [... temmēnī-í\a áš-ku-u[n ...]

G. Shalmaneser m KING 102 (858-824 BC) TEXTS 137-226 I. Introduction By far the largest proportion of sikkatu fragments from Ashur now in Istanbul is from the reign of Shalmaneser in; this significant addition to our sources necessitates a reconsideration and new edition of all the text types attested on sikkatu for that king. Given the fact that reliable editions are generally unavailable for the inscriptions of Shalmaneser in, this small contribution towards a new edition of the entire corpus would have value even without the previously unpublished material. Several different text types on sikkatu can now be identified, and all but two text types (types E and F, see below) are attested among the material in Istanbul.

The first three types - A, B, and c - present serious problems for identification since they all concern the same structure, the walls and gates of the city Ashur, and the differences are relatively minor. The remaining types concern other structures and are easier to distinguish. Thus our discussion and edition of the various types will deal first with types A to c (part 11) and then with types D to F (part HI). These will be followed by fragments of new text types (part iv) and a treatment of fragments with only dates preserved (part v). II. Types A to c All of these inscriptions concern work on the walls and gates of the city Ashur. Among the few well-preserved texts and the numerous fragments we have been able to discern three text types (A to c) and one significant variant (c'). Given the multiplicity of small fragments and the relative subtlety of difference among the types, our division cannot be accepted as definitive. But we believe it is the best that can be done under the circumstances. The chart is a schematic presentation of the major variations which enable one to identify fragments with a particular type.

REMARKS ON THE CHART Passage I: Note type A. Passage n: Note type B. Passage in: The distinctive feature of type A is the use of gabadibbu rather than šaptu. This may appear to be a dubious distinction because the words are synonyms in the context and because gabadibbu is definitely attested on only one exemplar (a second is uncertain and the last is not preserved) of type A. However, gabadibbu does not appear once on the numerous exemplars of types B and c. Moreover, in the identification of fragments, in all but one example (see text 185 below) where the relevant passage is preserved there are other features which exclude an identification with type A: see texts 163, 164, 165, and 183 below. Passage iv i and ii: Note type A. Passage rv iii: Each type is different. There are significant internal variations in type B (see the notes to that text). Note to type c: This type contains several dialectical forms, mainly the result of Assyrian influence, which are distinct from forms in the other types, a fact which was noted by Schramm, EAK 2 p. 92 and can now be confirmed and amplified by the new exemplars. For details see the notes to the relevant lines: ìšdu/ušdu for ištu (8); ussēšu for ušsēšu (8); rub&u urkû for rubû arkū (10); and ennuhüma for ennahüma (12). If the occurrence of one or more of these forms can be used as a criterion for assigning fragmentary inscriptions to type c, there are a number of pieces which would qualify; these have been listed below as nos. 161-73. But two exemplars of type B (see notes to type c, line 10) have one of these dialectical forms and therefore such a criterion must remain dubious.

Notes 1-3) ÉNSI: n has consistently PA.SI.TE for PA.TE. si. 7) si-hi-ìr-te-šú in b: The HI and IR appear as copied. 8) išdu: isdu also appears on texts 158, 161, 162, 164, 170, 171. The ušdu of b also appears on text 167. t)d is attested in late dialects (see GAG §29c) and is not restricted to Assyrian. ussēšu: The same form, which is Assyrian, appears on texts 161, 162, 163, 169, 172 (see below section 1). See Schramm, EAK 2 p. 92. In b the ŠÁ in šaptešu appears as copied. Note the corrupt text in b which arose through a dittography of ušdu uššēšu and a haplography of ēpuš. 10) rubaJu urku: Note the Assyrian forms which are attested on all preserved exemplars (except b which has ar-ku-u) as well as on several fragments: texts 162, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168 (see below sub 1). Types A and B have rubû arkû (except one exemplar of B which has rubcPu and two, the same and another, which have urku). 11) e-nu-ma/me: Note e]-nu-me on text 168 (see below section 1) and e-nu-m\e on text 188. 12) ennuhüma: Note the Assyrian form (cf. ennahūma in type B) which is attested on all preserved exemplars and also on the fragments: texts 164 and 168. 15) The signs on b appear as copied.

40 Clay Cones TYPE C'

Type c' is a variant of type c and, indeed, a variant which is senselessly garbled. It was obviously copied by a scribe who either did not understand what he was doing or did not care. In either case, the fact that there are three exemplars with exactly the same major blunders indicates that a royal scribe did not always copy from a master text. In this case probably the same scribe copied all of these exemplars, repeating his errors over and over again while also adding numerous and varied minor mistakes in each.

POSSIBLE FRAGMENTS OF TYPE D

Ass 6173 (A 3437); copy on pi. 30; previously unpublished. The beginning of the date is preserved and has the same month name as type D. The beginnings of the last two lines of text are preserved and could be duplicates of D 13-14 although they could just as easily be duplicates of the conclusion of various sikkatu text types of Shalmaneser in. Thus the identity of this fragment must remain uncertain.

Indeed it seems to refer to the shrine of Ninurta in the Ashur temple at Ashur, on which see Unger, RLA 1 p. 188, §53b and van Driel, Assur pp. 37f.

L Sargon 11 KING 110 (721-705 BC) TEXTS 228-235

The excavations at Ashur uncovered in the Aššur temple a number of fragments of a text of Sargon n inscribed upon the shafts of sikkatu of a special shape. Originally these shafts had four rounded corners, unlike sikkatu fragments of the more conventional type, and this distinctive form allows immediate identification. See Andrae, MDOG 26 (1905) p. 22; Reade, Bagh. Mitt. 10 (1979) p. 21. Copies of some of the fragments were published by Messerschmidt, KAH 1 no. 40-42 and no. 71 and more pieces were used for an edition by Weidner, AfO 3 (1926) pp. If. Some of the pieces used by Weidner are in Istanbul (but Ass 17404 = VA Ass 2071 published by Rost, FuB 22 no. 109 and cf. no. 110) and additional fragments unknown to Weidner have been identified. Collation has provided no significant improvement (in line 4, however, read si-i-ri, not si-i-ri) and copies of only the newly identified pieces have been presented. 228 Ass 1742 (A 3364); Messerschmidt, KAH 1 no. 40.
