THE ROYAL INSCRIPTIONS OF ESARHADDON: AN AT-A-GLANCE AKKADIAN GLOSSARY OF THE RINAP 4 CORPUS *
Jamie Novotny
In May 2011, Erle Leichty’s The Royal Inscriptions of Esarhaddon, King of Assyria (680–669 BC) (Royal Inscriptions of the Neo-Assyrian Period 4) appeared. That volume contains editions of one hundred and forty-three royal inscriptions of Esarhaddon, thirty late Neo-Assyrian inscriptions that may be attributed to that seventh-century ruler, and ten texts commissioned by his queen and his mother. Shortly after the publication of RINAP 4, in July 2011, completely searchable and fully lemmatized editions of those one hundred and eighty-three inscriptions were made public on RINAP Online.1 Although an easily searchable Akkadian glossary of the official texts of Esarhaddon is available online, in the Open Richly Annotated Cunei- form Corpus (Oracc) format,2 I take the opportunity to present here a modified version of that glossary. This concise glossary, unlike its online counterpart, (1) distinguishes fully preserved forms from partially and completely restored forms (see below), (2) notes defectively written forms, showing scribal omissions and errors, and (3) indicates words and written forms that are known only from 1000 number and/or 2000 number inscriptions, that is, words and written forms that are not attested in the certain, official inscriptions of Esarhaddon.
* The author compiled the RINAP 4 glossary while assisting E. Leichty prepare the ultimate manu- script of The Royal Inscriptions of Esarhaddon, King of Assyria (680–669 BC). The basic glossary was produced using the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus (Oracc) tools, see http://oracc. museum.upenn.edu. I would like to thank the National Endowment for the Humanities for funding the RINAP Project, allowing me to carry out research on late Neo-Assyrian royal inscriptions. I would also like to express my gratitude to Professor Grant Frame, director of the RINAP Project, for reviewing this manuscript, and to Andrew Knapp, a graduate assistance, for making corrections and astute comments on the online Akkadian glossary. Their time and care are greatly appreciated. Any errors or omissions are solely the responsibility of the author. 1. http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/rinap/rinap4/corpus. 2. For details, see http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu. 30 JAMIE NOVOTNY The present publication does not intend to be a complete, detailed glossary of the identifiable Akkadian words in the RINAP 4 corpus (master texts only), but a concise, at-a-glance reference tool in the style of the CDA (A Concise Dictionary of Akkadian).3 Therefore, only limited information will be provided for each word, namely the part of speech, the basic meaning(s) of the word, and the written form(s). For verbs, additional information is provided about the verbal stems in which the word is attested. However, textual references — that is, text and line numbers of the written forms — are not provided here; that information can be obtained presently from the online Akkadian glossary. Following the AHw and CDA, head-words are presented in their Old Babylonian forms, but without word final mimation. The order of the words generally follows the computer-generated arrangement of the Oracc glossaries, as does the order of the writ- ten forms. Words containing the same letters in the same order are found together and are given the designations “1”, “2”, etc., this system deviates from those of the AHw, CAD, and CDA. For example, nīšu 1 “lifting” and nīšu 2 “(oath on the) life”. As mentioned above, this glossary provides more information on the written forms than its online counterpart. Written forms that have been completely restored — that is, words or spellings of words that are not presently preserved in the known RINAP 4 corpus — are placed entirely between square brackets, for example, [i-du-u] “known”.4 Written forms that are partially preserved have square brackets enclosing the signs that are completely damaged, for example, [za]-qap “[to pl]ant”.5 Partially preserved forms usually occur only once in the known texts, forms that can be fully reconstructed from multiple attestations are noted with a single asterisk (see below for details). Half brack- ets, however, are ignored. Thus, partially preserved signs are rendered in the lists of written forms as if they were not damaged, for example, da-ad-˹mu˺ “settlements” is listed as da-ad-mu.6 Asterisk(s) appear after some written forms. The(se) asterisk(s) are intended to provide additional at-a-glance information about a specific written form. These indicate the following:
3. Variants found in the scores are not included here. These will appear in a more detailed Akkadian dictionary of royal inscriptions of the Neo-Assyrian period (744–609 BC), which the author intends to prepare all of the late Neo-Assyrian royal inscriptions from Tiglath-pileser III to Aššur-uballiṭ II have been published. Therefore, this at-a-glance glossary should serve as a useful resource until that time. Moreover, it should be regarded as a snapshot of the online RINAP 4 Akkadian glossary (December 2011). 4, Restored in Esarhaddon 104 ii 1 and 105 ii 14. 5. Esarhaddon 54 obv. 36´. 6. Esarhaddon 127 line 6´. THE ROYAL INSCRIPTIONS OF ESARHADDON 31 * The written form is reconstructed from multiple attestations in the main Esar- haddon corpus (texts 1–143). The form, as indicated, is not fully preserved in any of its known occurrences. For example, en-qu-te* “wise” appears three times in RINAP 4: [en-qu]-te, en-qu-[te], and [en-qu-te].7 Thus, en-qu-te* is recon- structed from those three attestations. ** The written form is attested only in Esarhaddon 1000 number text(s) (texts 1001–1030). *** The written form is attested only in Esarhaddon 2000 number text(s) (texts 2001–2010). Very rarely, the same written form is listed twice. This occurs when the form is com- pletely (or partially) reconstructed in the main Esarhaddon corpus (texts 1–143) and at- tested either in Esarhaddon 1000 or 2000 number text(s). For example, [za]-qap, za- qap**.8 This is to highlight the fact that the written form is not yet (fully) attested in Esarhaddon texts 1–143. Moreover, forms that are suspect — spellings of words that contain a typo in the transliteration of the master text in RINAP 4, written forms that the author regards are unlikely, or (partially or full) restorations that may have an alternative reading — appear in bold. Details are provided in footnotes. For the convenience of the user, a list of verbal roots that appear in the RINAP 4 corpus is provided as an appendix. The roots follow those listed in the AHw and CDA.
