Description
Summary:The cuneiform collection of the Musée d’art et d’histoire of Geneva, Switzerland, includes a document that dates to the 30 th year of King Rīm-Sîn of Larsa and displays the features of the reports described 50 years ago by F.R. Kraus in Staatliche Viehhaltung im altbabylonischen Lande Larsa . Interesting features of the tablet are its use of both sexagesimal and centesimal notation, its attestation of one more variation on Rīm-Sîn’s post-Isin year formula, and its illustration of a paleographic issue that has exercised Assyriologists for almost 100 years.
