T.85 (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We would like to thank Sally Freedman and Ann Guinan for sharing their own material, as well as the at the time unpublished Folios with E. Leichty's and W.G. Lambert's transliterations, notes and identifications of Šumma ālu manuscripts.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.

Remarks: According to M.J. Geller, BSOAS 66 (2003) 238, K.6759 + K.14548 is the reverse of this manuscript. The omens of this fragment parallel that of a Šumma ālu manuscript labeled T.102 in its colophon, which perhaps represents the 102nd Tablet in Nabû-zuqup-kēnu's, rather than the canonical series.

Fincke, NABU 2020/2 no. 76 (partial edition) Provenience: unclear
Lines: o 11'–14' // T.85 b+8, b+7, b+10, b+29
Remarks: This manuscript probably belongs to an unplaced Tablet of Šumma ālu, which also includes many omens similar to those of the last preserved excerpts of NinNAEx1 and NinNAEx3, now tentatively considered T.86. BabNBPar1 (BM.38529) contains an excerpt of this same Tablet.

CDLI: ---
Copy: ---
Edition: --- Provenience: Babylon
Lines: r 4'–7' // T.85 b+8, b+7, b+10, b+29
Remarks: This is probably an excerpt of an unplaced Tablet of Šumma alu, which also includes many omens similar to those of the last preserved excerpts of NinNAEx1 and NinNAEx3, now tentatively considered T.86. UncNBPar1 (Funck 3) is a manuscript of this same Tablet.
BabLBPar1 Mus. No.: BM.44226
CDLI: ---
Copy: ---
Edition: --- Provenience: Babylon
Lines: 6'–8' // T.85 b+22–b+24
Remarks: ll. 1'–4' only preserve IGI and could therefore very well be omens of T.85. However, l. 5' concerns the UR.MAH, which is not otherwise attested in T.85, making the identification of this fragment (T.85 or excerpt or parallel) problematic.
