[Cuneiform tablet]

Author:	Robert E Massmann; Donn W Sanford; Paul F Spalter; Luizu; Ludingira; All authors
Publisher:	[Umma, Mesopotamia, approximately 2000 B.C.]
Edition/Format:	Object : Sumerian
Summary:	Cuneiform tablet excavated from Umma in Mesopotamia, dating to about 2000 B.C. and written in Sumerian. Ferris J. Stephens, curator of the Babylonian collection of Yale University, translated the inscription in 1960. According to Stephens, the tablet records a loan transaction of grain between an individual named Luizu and another person whose name is obscured by damage to the tablet. It also mentions an official (mashkim) named Ludingira. The transaction most likely took place in the temple of Umma, with this tablet effectively being a promissory note.  Read more...
