| Summary: | The Akkadian text from Tall Munbāqa-Ekalte (Syria): Ek 11 (MBQ-T 65) contains on its line 34 a rather bizarre passage which still remains without a coherent translation since the Ekalte texts were published. Although this document uses a similar legal phraseology generally employed in the Ekalte documents, it shows an interesting difference in using the logogram Ì.LÁ.E and the penalty clause. These are expressed through a different clause pattern. The clear economic nature of the context assures in any case that Ì.LÁ.E is not used in this text in its normal position in the apodosis formula, but in the protasis. The aim of the present paper is to investigate this problematic context and to offer some new perspectives on trying to understand this difficult passage in the Akkadian of Ekalte |
