Expenditures by the gu-za-lá official at Maškan-šapir at the time of Rim-Sîn of Larsa

The thirteen tablets published here for the first time belong to one dossier in which the principal figure is a man by the name of Warad-Nanna, a gu-za-lá-official. He was stationed at Maskan-sapir where he administered the disbursals of beer, flour and barley to various destinations. The main destination of these expenditures was the naptanum ceremonial banquet. It occurs in eleven of the thirteen cases, dated between Rim-Sin's sixth and eighth year. The article touches upon matters of tablet typology, chronology, and history of the Old Babylonian period.
