Sample text

At the sealing of this document. ); and the scribe is Innin-Sum-uSabgi, son of Iddin-Marduk. Larsa. " The next text does not mention royal workmedsoldiers, but it is obviously related to the previous two transactions. Although the object of the transaction is a piece of fallow land (qaqqaru kiiubbfi), the standard Neo-Babylonian formulary for sales of mobilia is used instead of the formulary for sales of real estate. This should indicate that the transaction is not a real sale of land. The piece of land transacted is in fact the one which had previously been pledged to 1tti-Sarnag-balaw by Biiniya, and the price for which it is allegedly sold is equal to the amount of the debt for which it had been pledged.

The Eanna temple is the owner of the land and 1tti-SamaS-baliim is apparently the lessee or sublessee. The two kurrus of barley received as payment are presumably the rent, or another kind of impost, owed to the temple. had-SamaS appears to be directly responsible for cultivating the land since the obligation is written to his debit. -efir, however, is not clear. The former could be an agent of the temple responsible for collecting the rent. Ina-teSI-etir could be the lessee or another agent of the temple, the former possiblity being more likely.

As a consequence, the administration of the temple reflects the organization of the procurement and distribution of the commodities which were needed to maintain the cult as well as the temple p e r s ~ n n e l . ~ Together with this documentation of the temple administration, private archival texts were found at Sippar. Prosopographical investigation has demonstrated that these private archives in most cases belonged to people who can be identified as temple officials and/or prebendaries in Ebabbar.
