Abstract

In this paper we offer a re-edition and a tentative re-interpretation of BM 34113, a fragment of an historical-literary text of the Late Period that since its first edition by Grayson (1975: 87-92) has been known as the “Amīl-Marduk epic” or similar (most recent editions: Schaudig 2001: 589-590 and Finkel 1999: 335-338). We insert our new reading into the wider context of Late Babylonian Priestly Literature
