Laments over the destruction of Sumerian cities by war from 1870 BCE
In this volume, Barry Eichler analyzes a group of 54 personal tidennutu contracts dating to the middle of the second millennium B.C. The poulation of Nuzi, located in the district around Kirkuk in Iraq, spoke Hurrian, a language that was unrelated to Akkadian, the common Semitic language of Mesopotamia.
