In connection with a new reference each for sutāwum and sutaptum in old Babylonian, and in response to the study of St 2 forms by M. P. Streck, it is argued that sutāwum is either causative of atwum, and then without reciprocal component, or denomination of tawītum in which case it designates the writing of an address on the envelope of a letter, and that sutāptum is used as causative of a simple or double reflexive

Auf einer Vollständigkeit anstrebenden Dokumentation nicht-literarischer Quellen fußend werden hier die Beziehungen altmesopotamischer Staaten mit Ländern am Persischen Golf und Indischen Ozean behandelt. Dies geschieht — nach einem einleitenden Überblick über die bisherigen Forschungsergebnisse (I) — im Rahmen von 3 Themen: (1) Seewege, Häfen und Schifle (II, III); (2) Geschichte der Kontakte mit den Ländern in Übersee (IV); (3) Importe und Exporte (V). Neue Ergebnisse: Gu'abba kann nicht der Überseehafen von LagaS gewesen sein; man importierte Harthölzer für den Möbel-, aber nicht den Hausbau; das Auftreten von Schildpatt weist auf Beziehungen mit der arabischen Küste des Indischen Ozeans hin; die Weltbeschreibung nach dem Text „Das Reich Sargons von Akkad" verläuft in konzentrischen Kreisen (Anhang I); Gesteinsproben von Olivin-Gabbro aus der Nachbarschaft bronzezeitlicher Kupferbergwerke in Oman sind petrologisch identisch mit dem Statuenstein altakkadischer Herrscher (Anhang II).

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Kinyras: The Divine Lyre is also available online through the CHS website: http://chs.harvard.edu/CHS/article/display/6329. The web version, however, does not have page numbers, so that internal cross-references cannot be easily followed. Hence the PDF here.
