| Summary: | Although certain similarities of KBo 17.2 with CTH 416 are undeniable, the theory that KBo 17.2 joins KBo 17.3+ (CTH 416.B) is problematic for a number of reasons. This study focuses first on the physical evidence, namely the size and shape of the relevant fragments and the text distribution on the tablets. Allowing for different join positions of KBo 17.2 and possible scribal lapses, potential text reconstructions are presented in order to evaluate the likelihood of a join of KBo 17.2 with KBo 17.3+. The second half of the study compares the terminology and ritual practices described in KBo 17.2 with the particular ritual to which this fragment should belong if the alleged join is correct as well as with the other rituals of CTH 416 as a whole. The possibility of a join must presently remain an open question. |
