Introduction

This small fragment from Kuyunjik preserves badly damaged remains of the last line of a commentary, together with the beginning of a catchline and a rubric. According to the latter, it would be the 11th [tabl]et of a mukallimtu-commentary on Enūma Anu Enlil. Gehlken, however, thinks that the subscript is defective, and assumes that the present fragment represents the 11th tablet of the astrological commentary Sîn ina tāmartīšu.1

The catchline refers to a tablet whose incipit, “If the moon rides (the constellation) Auriga,” is identical with that of VAT 9434 (CCP 3.1.u94.b).
