T.94 (last update: May 2021) Kaira Boddy
This provisional edition was prepared in the context of the project “Edition of the Omen Series Šumma Alu” (100011_175970) funded by the SNSF (http://p3.snf.ch/project-175970). It represents a working draft and will be regularly updated. These new versions will also be made available in the Archive ouverte of the University of Geneva. When using or citing the edition, please make sure to always refer to the latest version. Because of the closure of the British Museum due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, several new joins between fragments could not yet be checked.
In due time, the final version will be published online as part of a new Šumma ālu edition, hosted on the “Electronic Babylonian Literature (eBL)” website. Therefore, many editorial conventions used by the eBL project (including the format of the museum numbers) are already followed here. Each manuscript siglum contains a reference to its provenance and date. Additional information on manuscript type is added at the end (Ex = excerpt; Par = parallel; Quo = quotation; Com = commentary).
Also note that in the reconstructed line and in the translation KIMIN/MIN (or “ditto”) is included along with the repeated word or phrase in parentheses, but in the normalized Akkadian line only the repetition in parentheses is given.
We would like to thank Sally Freedman and Ann Guinan for sharing their own material, as well as the at the time unpublished Folios with E. Leichty's and W.G. Lambert's transliterations, notes and identifications of Šumma ālu manuscripts. We also wish to thank Enrique Jiménez for allowing us to use the eBL database prior to its introduction to the public. The Folios as well as eBL helped us identify a considerable number of new fragments and joins. We are also indebted to Christopher Walker, Jonathan Taylor, Jeanette Fincke and Nicla De Zorzi for having shared material with us.

Edition: --- Provenience: Nineveh
Lines: r 7'–14' // T.94 1–8
Remarks: This manuscript probably represents a Nabû-zuqup-kēnu Tablet that combines the omens on animals eating garments with other garment omens, which are found in T.93 of the canonical version. For
additional indirect joins from the obverse of this manuscript and a complete reconstruction of the Tablet see its forthcoming edition (NZK garment omens).

Edition: --- Provenience: Nineveh
Lines: r 1'–7', 8' (=catchline) // T.94 29–35
Remarks: For the moment, it cannot be excluded that K.12479+ is a direct join to K.10852, although based on the size and shape of both fragments an indirect join seems more likely. If, instead, we are dealing with a direct join, it is possible that the reverse of K.12497+ does not parallel the omens on animals eating shoes (T.94 29–34a), but rather those on animals eating wool (T.94 22–28).

General remarks:
This Tablet, which has until now been referred to as T.94alt (see F. Nötscher, Or 51–54 (1930) 214–
218; S. Freedman, If a city 1 (1998) 22), represents Tablet 94 of the canonical series. The Tablet previously labeled T.94 is part of Nabû-zuqup-qēnu's series (T.94NZK) and parallels part of the newly identified canonical T.89. For more details see K. Boddy / F. Huber Vulliet / C. Mittermayer, The excerpt tablets of Šumma ālu: reconstructing Tablets 80 to 95, ZA 111/2 (2021).

note: The commentary gives ikâsma (“he tarries”; CAD K 294 kâšu A) to explain ittalipšumma (“he keeps him awake”, dalāpu also meaning “to linger on”), and offers the synonym bubūtu (“starvation”) for ippiru. R. Labat, Commentaires (1933) 72–73 restores the first verb of line 8 as id-[dan]-ma “he will give”, instead, and interprets the second verb as a form of qâšu “to make a donation”. Alternatively, he suggests reading it-[tal-lak]-ma and a form of kâšu “to come” (CAD G 58). He does not read the traces of the sign RI in line 9.
