Introduction

It is uncertain whether the present fragment represents a commentary text on Enūma Anu Enlil, as stated by Leichty in the catalogue of the "Sippar Collection."1 This possibility might be supported by the fact that the few preserved signs of the tablet do feature the moon god and mention days and numbers; they also include phonetic glosses.
