Description
Summary:The inscriptions discussed here were discovered during excavations undertaken by the Iraq Antiquities Service in the summer of 1992 in the remains of a building situated 90 m to the south-west of the enclosure of the Grand Temple at Hatra. The building, constructed above a raised pavement reached by three staircases, is composed of two broad rooms, each with three similar entrances, and in the middle of the west wall of the second room an entry leads to a square stone cellar. The building is similar to the third sanctuary, which is situated in the eastern part of the town, and, according to the author, would be the fourteenth sanctuary in Hatra and was consecrated to the goddess Nannay. Here, we take up the study of these new inscriptions which Dr Jabir Kh. Ibrahim published and translated in the journal Sumer. The numbering of the inscriptions is retained and continues the established numbering of the Hatra inscriptions.
