Tablet No. 6 



An account of sesame oil which is being sent to (the city of) 

 Ur by Tukshagki, charged to Nadi, vised by Ahuwaqar. The 

 tablet is dated in the dynasty of Ur, but the exact year of the 

 dynasty has not yet been determined. The eight impressions of 

 the seal, no one of which is perfect, have almost obliterated the 

 writing. The scene of the seal is one of presentation. On the 

 right is a god seated upon a throne, a turban is on his head, and 

 in his right hand he is holding a goblet aloft. In front of him is a 

 star within a crescent, and two figures. The first of these figures, 



i. This is the second month in the calendar at Jokha, namely, 

 the month of Sig gir i-sub ga-gar.
