Overview

The 67 texts presented in this volume are part of a larger group of (Babylonian) Late Achaemenid legal documents from Sāer, a city that is believed to be located somewhere in the area northwest of Uruk up to the outskirts of Nippur. Together with a brief introduction and indices, it included transliterations, autographed copies and photographs of a group of texts that were confiscated from illicit excavators by the Iraqi Antiquity Authorities as part of a larger group of texts now housed in the Iraq Museum. The common element that ties these texts together is their identical archival and commercial context; they can be identified as certain components of the archive belonging to Samas-zēru-ibni, son of Ayyanaˀad, an agricultural entrepreneur who was active in and around the Southern Babylonian city Sāṭer during the second half of the fifth century BCE.
