The present chapter is the result of an extended process, entailing different phases of research performed on the texts since their initial discovery in 1995, and the diffusion of the relevant results through partial and preliminary reports. For this reason, some of its constitutive sections require the following explanations and acknowledgements: §§ 1, 2, 3, 7: these _introductory and conclusive_ sections were authored by F.M. Fales over the years 1998-2004, with continuous accretions. Thus, §1 and §3 draw to some extent upon two previous contributions by the author, in which the provisional results from the TSF texts were cast against the wider backdrop of the study of Aramaic documents on clay in the Neo-Assyrian empire, viz. Fales 1999 and Fales 2000. On the other hand, as will be seen below, the remarkable progress of Assyro-Aramaic studies during the last few years (cf. especially Lemaire 2001, Radner 2002) have caused numerous additions and updatings on these previous essays, as regards both information and bibliography. As regards §2, the reader is also referred to M. Makinson, this volume, for further details on the archaeological location of the tablets. § 4: the publication of the cuneiform tablets from TSF represents the joint and coordinated product of two separate efforts at reading and interpretation, by F.M. Fales (who made preliminary copies, transliterations, and translations on the field and at the Aleppo Museum in October 1998), and by K. Radner (who kindly offered to perform a full set of collations, with final copies, transliterations and translations at the Aleppo Museum in September 2003). Both authors acknowledge the kind and fruitful collaboration of Cinzia Pappi, who kindly assisted them in philological matters and took photographs of the texts during their respective visits at the Aleppo Museum. The notes represent the joint contribution of both authors: Radner especially for Neo-Assyrian philological matters, Fales for the Aramaic endorsements. The copies of the cuneiform texts are by Radner, those of the alphabetic sections by Ezio Attardo. 596 Frederick Mario Fales _ Karen Radner _ Cinzia Pappi _ Ezio Attardo V. Area F _ The Assyrian and Aramaic Texts from Tell Shiukh Fawqani 597 § 5: the publication of the Aramaic epigraphs from TSF, both incised and painted, both as fully monolingual texts and as brief endorsing labels (cf. §4), was effected by F.M. Fales with substantial paleographical aid by E. Attardo, who authored the final copies of all alphabetic texts, and was of supportive assistance both during the work on the inscriptions at the Aleppo Museum in October 1998, and in the course of a number of subsequent sessions in Italy. Cinzia Pappi is again to be thanked for performing detailed photographic work and specific collations on the epigraphs, during a final check in September 2003. § 6: this section, dealing with the paleography of the TSF Aramaic texts, was authored by E. Attardo. § 8: the catalogue of all inscribed TSF materials was assembled by Cinzia Pappi. The primary filecards for the catalogue were compiled and checked jointly with F.M. Fales and Dr. Angela Guaran (Padova), both on the field and at the Aleppo Museum. § 9-10 : the indexes and bibliography were assembled by F.M. Fales on the basis of the work of all authors. Acknowledgements: All thanks are due to Mr. Alberto Savioli (University of Udine) for the clear b/w photographs and color slides made on the field at Tell Shiukh Fawqani, and to Mr.

  • The Mentioned Above Help to Describe and Identify the Quantity of Water a Contributed by Each Country Sharing the River Basin
    NATURAL FLOW AND HUMAN USE OF THE EUPHRATES RIVER Headwaters of the Khabur Tributary John Kolars Rival claims between Turkey, Syria and Iraq for use of the waters of the Euphrates (and Tigris) River will increase in intensity in the near future as more of the developmental plans of those countries are realized. Before such claims can be arbitrated there must be as complete knowledge as possible of the natural characteristics of the river and its basin made available to all concerned parties. Beyond the physical attributes of the river — some of which will be discussed below — additional information regarding the demography and ethnicity of the populations involved, the history of the area and of the use of its river(s), developments already in place or underway as well as those planned for the future, and the legal, political, and economic issues involved must also be readv at hand. This discussion does not intend to be definitive or complete. Its intent is to outline some critical aspects of one small section of the Euphrates River system. It is hoped by this to indicate the type of continuing research undertaken by the author for the MERI water project. The basic data needed for understanding developments in the basin are the amounts of water available both on the surface and in its aquifers, and on the various withdrawals from these amounts by natural and human subsystems. Such data are usually obtained by records kept at various gauging stations along the length of streams and by well logs. Such records vary in accuracy, timing, and number of years kept.

  • Possible Historical Traces in the Doctrina Addai
    Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies, Vol. 9.1, 51-127 © 2006 [2009] by Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute and Gorgias Press POSSIBLE HISTORICAL TRACES IN THE DOCTRINA ADDAI ILARIA L. E. RAMELLI CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF THE SACRED HEART, MILAN 1 ABSTRACT The Teaching of Addai is a Syriac document convincingly dated by some scholars in the fourth or fifth century AD. I agree with this dating, but I think that there may be some points containing possible historical traces that go back even to the first century AD, such as the letters exchanged by king Abgar and Tiberius. Some elements in them point to the real historical context of the reign of Abgar ‘the Black’ in the first century. The author of the Doctrina might have known the tradition of some historical letters written by Abgar and Tiberius. [1] Recent scholarship often dates the Doctrina Addai, or Teaching of Addai,2 to the fourth century AD or the early fifth, a date already 1 This is a revised version of a paper delivered at the SBL International Meeting, Groningen, July 26 2004, Ancient Near East section: I wish to thank very much all those who discussed it and so helped to improve it, including the referees of the journal. 2 Extant in mss of the fifth-sixth cent.

  • Report on Tell Al-Imsihly: the 2000 and 2001 Seasons Hafiz Hussein Al-Hayyany, Qaiss Hussein Rasheed, Hussein Ali Hamza, and Mark Altaweel
    Report on Tell al-Imsihly: The 2000 and 2001 Seasons Hafiz Hussein Al-Hayyany, Qaiss Hussein Rasheed, Hussein Ali Hamza, and Mark Altaweel Introduction a ,(تل (الامسيحليThis article summarizes two seasons of excavations at Tell al-Imsihly prehistoric site nearly 5 kilometers south of Assur. Archaeological excavations were conducted by Iraq’s State Board of Antiquities and Heritage (SBAH) over a period of two seasons starting in April 2000 and ending in late 2001. Iraqi archaeologists working at Assur were put in charge of investigating the site. Due to damage and incursions on the site from plowing and earthmoving activities, the goals of SBAH’s excavations were to obtain an idea of settlement chronology and activity within and just outside of Tell al-Imsihly. In 2006-2007, Dr. Altaweel collaborated with the Iraqi archaeologists who had excavated the site in order to assist in interpreting some of the archaeological data as well as publication of the excavations to a wide audience. Some original items and records from the excavations are not currently available, and perhaps lost, but the archaeological report compiled by Mr. Hamza and written in Arabic remains. In addition, many of the ceramic drawings and excavation photographs have survived. The data presented by the Arabic report are the basis of the presentation to follow, although some additional details have been provided by Altaweel. Site Background Tell al-Imsihly is located on the west bank of the Tigris along Wadi al-Imsihly, a wadi that flows north to south. Wadi al-Imsihly flows into Wadi al-Shbabit, which is a wadi that flows into the Tigris from west to east.

  • Women in the Ancient Near East: a Sourcebook
    WOMEN IN THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST Women in the Ancient Near East provides a collection of primary sources that further our understanding of women from Mesopotamian and Near Eastern civiliza- tions, from the earliest historical and literary texts in the third millennium BC to the end of Mesopotamian political autonomy in the sixth century BC. This book is a valuable resource for historians of the Near East and for those studying women in the ancient world. It moves beyond simply identifying women in the Near East to attempting to place them in historical and literary context, follow- ing the latest research. A number of literary genres are represented, including myths and epics, proverbs, medical texts, law collections, letters and treaties, as well as building, dedicatory, and funerary inscriptions. Mark W. Chavalas is Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, where he has taught since 1989. Among his publications are the edited Emar: The History, Religion, and Culture of a Syrian Town in the Late Bronze Age (1996), Mesopotamia and the Bible (2002), and The Ancient Near East: Historical Sources in Translation (2006), and he has had research fellowships at Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Cal-Berkeley, and a number of other universities. He has nine seasons of exca- vation at various Bronze Age sites in Syria, including Tell Ashara/Terqa and Tell Mozan/Urkesh.

By the aid of our supporter, the Assyrian Education Process continued and we were able to cover the transportation and lecturers' costs, printing the curriculum, distributing stationary to the students and supplying the schools with its necessary needs to ensure the continuation of the Process. Here we must pay tribute to our supporters, specially the Assyrian Aid Society of America by covering a large proportion of the Assyrian Education deficit through several payments, as well as the support the Assyrian Aid Society of Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Our Society was able to organize several relief programs for our People coming as refugees from Syria, by the support of AASA, AAS-Au, AAS-Ca, AAS Germany and AAS Sweden, as well as the other Societies and Organizations, as: SALT Foundation from Holland, the Evangelical Lutheran Churches from Germany and the Assyrian National Council of Illinois.
