Hoffner, Jr., co-founder and Executive Editor 1975-2015 v oi.uchicago.edu vi oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE With the completion of all words starting with the letter Š, we are pleased to present the Chicago Hittite Dictionary’s (CHD) third full volume. The Š is the fifth and thus far largest letter of the Hittite lexicon. No major editorial changes have taken place vis-à-vis the P-volume. The current list of abbreviations supplants all “Additions” of the previous fascicles. There have been, however, important changes in the editorial board. In the period leading up to the publication of the first fascicle Š/1 in 2002 we sadly lost Hans Gustav Güterbock, one of the two founders of the CHD, who died on March 29, 2000. Almost exactly fifteen years later, on March 10, 2015, the other founder, Harry A. Hoffner, passed away very suddenly while working on the final installment of the Š. With them, we have lost the two auctores intellectuales of our project, but their names will always be associated with the CHD and we very much carry on in their spirit, as we dedicate this volume to the memory of Harry Hoffner. In 2006, we were joined by senior editor Petra M. Goedegebuure, significantly strengthening our linguistic expertise. Another important change took place in 2007 when we moved all our file cabinets from the office of Harry Hoffner to the spacious and hallowed former premises of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary on the third floor of the Oriental Institute. Many institutions and people have been instrumental in the completion of the volume before you. We are deeply grateful to the University of Chicago and its previous president Don Randel and current president Robert Zimmer, and the directors of the Oriental Institute (OI) during the entire period that this volume was in preparation, Gene Gragg, Gil Stein, and current director Christopher Woods. We are also indebted to the National Endowment for the Humanities for supporting and making possible our project from its very inception in 1976 all the way through 2007. Since then we have been fortunate to receive funding from several institutions and individual donors. We especially mention here the financial support from the Salus Mundi Foundation in Tucson, AZ, as well as the generous and loyal donations from Philip Elenko, Howard Hallengren, Audrius and Sigita Plioplys, and Walter and Susan Güterbock. Without their help and that of many Oriental Institute members the CHD would not be possible. With deep gratitude we mention the collegial support we have received over the years from the project Hethitische Forschungen and the Hethitologie-Portal at the Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur in Mainz under its directors Profs. Gernot Wilhelm and Daniel Schwemer. Especially their generosity in sharing with us the electronic card files of the KBo volumes 55–70 has made an enormous difference. Also, the field of Hittitology would not be the same without the various excellent tools offered on the Hethitologie-Portal. We also express our thanks to previous and current curators and directors of the archaeological museums whose Hittite tablets we have been allowed to collate and photograph. As always, we benefited greatly from the advice, criticism, and suggestions shared by our outside consultants Profs. Gary Beckman (Ann Arbor), H. Craig Melchert (Chapel Hill), and Gernot Wilhelm (Hochheitsveim). Over the many years that the Š-volume was in preparation we enjoyed the assistance of Research Associates Ahmet Ünal (until 1988), Billie Jean Collins (until 1995), Hripsime Haroutunian (until 2002), and Alice Mouton (visiting 2003), as well as the following students (both undergraduate and graduate) in chronological order: Joe Baruffi, Scott Branting, Steve Thurston, Kathleen Mineck, Simrit Dhesi, Dennis Campbell, Carl Thunem, Natasha Bershadsky, Andrei Chatskov, Edward Stratford, Anna MacCourt, Seunghee Yie, Oya Topçuoğlu, Joanna Derman, Joshua Cannon, Sabrina Hsieh, Phoebe Allardice, Robert Marineau, Jane Gordon, Katherine McFarlin, Thalia Lysen, Ryan Schnell, and Antonio Cruz Uribe. We also gratefully mention the help we received from the following OI volunteers during that same period: Irv Diamond, Julia van den Hout, Kristen Fanning, Shirlee Hoffman, and Barbara Jillson. vii oi.uchicago.edu We thank the Oriental Institute’s Publications Office headed by Thomas Urban and now Charissa Johnson and their assistants for their careful work in bringing our Dictionary to press. Without exception, the support and help of all the above institutions and individuals have been invaluable in completing the current Š-volume and it is with deeply-felt gratitude that we mention them here. As we embark on the next letter and start work on the T-volume, we express the hope that we will find the same support and goodwill to complete the next stage!

  • Hanigalbat and the Land Hani
    Arnhem (nl) 2015 – 3 Anatolia in the bronze age. © Joost Blasweiler student Leiden University - [email protected] Hanigal9bat and the land Hana. From the annals of Hattusili I we know that in his 3rd year the Hurrian enemy attacked his kingdom. Thanks to the text of Hattusili I (“ruler of Kussara and (who) reign the city of Hattusa”) we can be certain that c. 60 years after the abandonment of the city of Kanesh, Hurrian armies extensively entered the kingdom of Hatti. Remarkable is that Hattusili mentioned that it was not a king or a kingdom who had attacked, but had used an expression “the Hurrian enemy”. Which might point that formerly attacks, raids or wars with Hurrians armies were known by Hattusili king of Kussara. And therefore the threatening expression had arisen in Hittite: “the Hurrian enemy”. Translation of Gary Beckman 2008, The Ancient Near East, editor Mark W. Chavalas, 220. The cuneiform texts of the annal are bilingual: Babylonian and Nesili (Hittite). Note: 16. Babylonian text: ‘the enemy from Ḫanikalbat entered my land’. The Babylonian text of the bilingual is more specific: “the enemy of Ḫanigal9 bat”. Therefore the scholar N.B. Jankowska1 thought that apparently the Hurrian kingdom Hanigalbat had existed probably from an earlier date before the reign of Hattusili i.e. before c. 1650 BC. Normally with the term Mittani one is pointing to the mighty Hurrian kingdom of the 15th century BC 2. Ignace J. Gelb reported 3 on “the dragomans of the Habigalbatian soldiers/workers” in an Old Babylonian tablet of Amisaduqa, who was a contemporary with Hattusili I.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

  • IMPACT of a MILITARISTIC SOCIETY: a STUDY on the HITTITES by Amber N. Hawley Submitted to the Faculty of the Archaeological Stud
    IMPACT OF A MILITARISTIC SOCIETY: A STUDY ON THE HITTITES By Amber N. Hawley Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Studies Program Department of Sociology and Archaeology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin – La Crosse 2012 Copyright © 2012 by Amber N. Hawley All rights reserved ii THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF A MILITARISTIC SOCIETY: A STUDY ON THE HITTITES Amber N. Hawley, B.S. University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, 2012 The purpose of this study is to better understand the relationship between the military, the economy, and the societal collapse of the Hittites, a militaristic society. The Hittite empire suffered from many problems near the end of its existence, but this research supports the idea that the military‟s demand for subsistence goods was too great for the economy to provide. By analyzing historical documentation, many aspects of the Hittite culture can be examined, such as trade networks as well as military campaign reports. The study also looks at the archaeological excavations of Hattusa, the Hittite capital, and Kaman-Kalehöyük, a supply city that would restock the campaigning military. By examining these cities and historical documentation, better understanding of the economy and military will be attained for militaristic societies; and in the case of the Hittites, their relationship to the societal collapse is determined to be strong. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisors, Dr. David Anderson and Dr. Mark Chavalas for providing me with feedback throughout my research. I would also like to thank my reading group, which consisted of Mitchell Johnson and Maximilian Pschorr for giving me great advice.

  • A New Reading of the Colophon of Šimâ Milka (“Hear the Advice”) from the Maison Aux Tablettes
    273 bIblIOThECA ORIENTAlIS lxxIV N° 3-4, mei-augustus 2017 274 AN AssyRIAN TEAcHER AT UgARIT? A NEW READINg OF THE COLOpHON OF Šimâ MILKA (“HEAR THE ADvIce”) FROm THE MAISON AUX TABLEttES Yoram COHEN Abstract This article presents a new reading of the colophon of the wisdom composition named Šimâ Milka found at Ugarit. It argues that the teacher of the student who copied the manu- script was called Aššur-rēši-išši and that he was probably an Assyrian present at the city, active in the archive of the Mai- son aux Tablettes. Discussion will also be given to the stu- dent’s name and title as well as to the identity of the deity behind the logogram DPAP.PAP. Since its publication by Nougayrol in 1968, the four-line colophon of the Šimâ Milka (“Hear the Advice”) manuscript recovered from the Maison aux tablettes (RS 22.439 = Ugaritica 5, no. 163) has caused problems of reading and resisted easy interpretation.1) I offer here my reading and interpretation of the colophon. I will argue that the teacher of the student who copied this composition in Ugarit was named Aššur-rēšī-išši, and that on the basis of his name, we can identify him as an Assyrian. The colophon which is found on the reverse of the tablet at the end of colum iv, reads as follows: 1 šu mŠip-ṭi A šid DUMU The hand of Šipṭu, scribe, son ARAD-LUGAL x?[…] of Abdi-Milki […] 2 GÁB-ZU-ZU šá mA+LIM+GÌR- student of Aššur-rēšī-i[šši] SAG-Í[L-(ši)] 3 ARAD DAG u DPAP.PAP servant of Nabû and DPAP.PAP 4 ARAD DAMAR-UTU u servant of Marduk and D Ṣar-pa-ni-tu4 Ṣarpānītu.

  • Following a False Trail — the Search for the Hittites
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk AL-RA¯ FIDA¯ N Vol. XXVII 2006 101 FOLLOWING A FALSE TRAIL — THE SEARCH FOR THE HITTITES Spencer M. ROBINSON* The attempt to answer the question of cultural continuity and discontinuity has been, and continues to be, the principal driving force in the archaeology of Anatolia. On a wider scale, the concern with defining cultural boundaries has been no less a central issue in the archaeology of the Ancient Near East. The question of cultural boundaries goes to the very heart of understanding and interpreting Anatolian and other Ancient Near East sites from a historical view. This, however, begs two essential questions: 1) is the historical view the proper view for archaeology? and 2) is the historical view credible, even to the objectives of historical scholarship? While these questions may seem ridiculous and completely unwarranted, or heretical, I will endeavor to demonstrate that a reassessment of these basic issues is critical. The basic problem is the concept of culture. ‘Culture,’ like many of the terms that we are fond of casually tossing about in common speech, is simply a hypothetical construct whose definition is slippery and elusive. Consequently, it is quite meaningless to talk about cultural continuity and discontinuity when we cannot definitively state what it is that is or is not continued. Let us critically examine the use of the term ‘culture’ in historical and archaeological contexts. We often use such expressions as the ‘Hittite culture,’ the ‘Hattian culture,’ the ‘Phrygian culture,’ the ‘Urartian culture,’ the ‘Hurrian culture,’ etc., but what do we really mean by these expressions? Basically such labels are defined by language, i.e., the language in which the surviving texts of a group of people were written, and/or that of place names or personal names recorded in the surviving texts of one or more coterminous groups.
