This tiny piece is the smallest of the three commentaries found at Nippur during the eleventh campaign of the Oriental Institute (1972-73), in an unclear archaeological context, but near to other tablets from the Achaemenid period. The other two commentaries found in the same trench are, according to their colophons, the work of a certain Enlil-kāṣir, kalû-priest of Enlil. According to Civil,1 the scribal hand of this tablet is probably the same as that of 11N-T4 (CCP 4.2.B).
The ten preserved lines of the commentary probably belong to the obverse of the tablet. It contains several commentarial expressions, such as aššu and libbū, which also occur in the other two commentaries found together with this one. In l. 8' the conjugated verb buqummū-ma is said to derive from baqāmu, "to pluck," with the use of the terminus technicus ana. In l. 6', the equation kâpu = ḫabālu is probably borrowed from Malku IV 134.
Due to the small size of the piece, the nature of the text commented upon is unclear. The fact that the other two tablets found along with this fragment are commentaries on therapeutic texts would suggest that this is a further comentary on a medical text. However, as U. Gabbay pointed out (private communication, 2011), the tablet could contain a commentary on an as yet unidentified section of Aa.
