The Pairs of Cooks in the Royal Dining Hall and the

Akiti Calendar during Šulgi 45-48

Wu Yuhong and Chen Yanli1 Northeast Normal University

(Journal of Ancient Civilizations 2013 vol. 28)

Wu Yuhong published an article on the animals issued to the é-uz-ga institution

and its two cooks and two articles on the Calendar starting from the Month of Akiti in

Puzriš-Dagan in 1996, 2000 and 2002.2 From 2006, more and more Puzriš-Dagan

texts has been available to us through BDTNS and CDLI on the web, this situation

urged us to revise and make a complete archives of the four pairs of the cooks

(muhaldim) working in the é-uz-ga dining hall, who succeeded each other for 26

year from Šulgi 43 to Ibbi-Sin 2.

1. Mašda Calendar and Akiti Calendar from Š 45 to 48

The dating of the texts of the reign of Šulgi is quite complex work since from Š 45,

the first month of a year started from the Akiti month, which was the sixth month of

the normal Mašda Calendar used in Puzriš-Dagan, which followed the Ur Calendar,

but during the period of Šulgi and Amar-Sin, its second month iti-maš-dà~gu7 was

changed to the first month, so that the month iti-še-kin-kud could be synchronized

with to the same named month of Nippur, as the 12thmonths of both calendars. We

have found some texts which use month of Akiti as the first month and month of

iti-ezem-Ninazu as the last month, which is the Akiti Calendar. We distinguish the

Akiti Calendar as Š 44’ viii’ →48’ vii’, which are equal to Š 45 i → 48 xii of the

Mašda Calendar, for four years.

1 The texts are collected both by Chen Yangli and Wu Yuhong, and Wu Yuhong wrote the article. We

would like to acknowledge our extensive use of both the databases of the Cuneiform Digital Library

Initiative (CDLI <http://cdli.ucla.edu>) and of the Database of Neo-Sumerian Texts (BDTNS

<http://bdts.filol.csic.es>), especially to use the photos of the texts to collate some signs in their

transliterations of texts. The collated signs are marked with * asterisk. 2Wu Yuhong, The Ewes without Lambs and Lambs Cooked in É-uz-ga, the Private House of Kings in

At the first days of a new year, often the new year name could not be issued on

time, so that the scribes had to use a temporary ús-sa year name: “Year: after (the last

year name )” until they received the new year name issued by the king. We also found

the ussa year name was used from the Akiti month, which proves that it was the first

month of a new year. The successive order of the cooks in the é-uz-ga supports the

use of the Akiti Calendar during Š 45-48.

day.

Note that Š 46 used Year of ús-sa Urbilum from Mašda Month to the 4th of the

Akiti month, which was the year name of Š 47/1-5, and Year of Kimaš was used from

the 6th of Akiti month, which was Š 47/6-12 (=46’/i'-vii). For example, we have mu

ús-sa Urbilum ba-hul in Š 46/2/27 (MVN 13 653), 46/4/5 (OIP 115 250), 46/5/4

(BPOA 7 2894) , 46/5/27(OIP 115 255) and the last one, 5/29 (AA 77, P391636);

then we have the Year of Kimaš from 46/6/6 (=46’/1/6, OIP 115 242), also 46/6/23

(=46’/1’/23 OIP 115 243). Unfortunately, now both BDTNS and CDLI treated

months from Mašda to Ezem-Ninazu of the Year of Kimaš as Š 46/1-5 in the order of

the Mašda Calendar, not as 46’/viii’=47/1 – 46’/xii’=47/v in the order in the Akiti

Calendar. However, this wrong treatment would make the related months and years in

confusion. For example, both databases assigned the year name of mu Kimaš ba-hul

on NYPL 348 to SH46/02/22, which mistakenly thought that this year name was

known to the scriber from 46/2 on, but meanwhile, they also assigned the dating on

TRU 293 and MVN 13 653 with another year name mu ús-sa Ur-bí-lumki

ba-hul, to

SH46/02/26 and SH46/02/27, which confused the year name of 45’/viii’-xii’ (=46/1-5)

which used year name of ús-sa Urbilum, with that of 46’/viii’-xii’ (=47/1-5), which

used the year name of Kimaš. We should be certain that all the scribes of Ur III

period only knew the cotemporary year of ús-sa ~Urbilum name during the 1st -5

th

months of Š 47 (47/1-5), and did not know the year of Kimaš, which was issued by

Šulgi on the first days of the Akiti month of Š 47 (47/6), five month later.

Another confusion caused by assigning the Mašda Calendar to Š 45-48 is that of

those zi-ga and mu-túm texts of the anonymous one (i.e. Nasa) from Š 40/1 to

47’/ii/=47/7/12 with these texts of ki~ Nasa ba-zi and mu-túm Nasa ì-dab5 from Š

47’ii’=47/7/13 (ba-zi from 46’/ii’/=47/7/24-25.) to AS 1/8, which can only achieved

by the Akiti Calendar. If we accepted the dating of the both databases in the Mašda

Calendar, NYPL 348, a ki~ Nasa ba-zi text with month of iti-zahx(zex=ŠEŠ)-da-gu7

and year name of mu Kimaš ba-hul would be dated to SH46/02/22 before 47/7/13 –

24, the starting day of the ba-zi texts, which makes the ki~ Nasa—ta texts occur

earlier more than one year, and mixes the texts of mu-túm/zi-ga without official

name with those of mu-túm Nasa ì-dab5/ki~ Nasa--ta ba-zi together. Hence, the

using the Mašda Calendar to date the texts during Š 45-48 will confuse the two

complete distinguished phases of the Animal Center of Puzriš-Dagan under the Šulgi

reign, but using the Akiti Calendar in this period will distinguish the two different

phases of the Center clearly.

2. Ba-mu and Ur-Šulgi, First Pair of Cooks: Šulgi 43/3/2 → 44/9/25

The first pair cooks were Ba-mu and Ur-Šulgi, and both were mentioned in the

early archive of institution of Šulgi-simti, queen, in Š 39 when the Animal Center

started formally. Ur-Šulgi contributed 6 ducks (uz-tur) to the queen, which reminds us

that the é-uz-ga literally means “the House of Ducks and Milk” and Ba-mu issued for

the allowance of the queen. Ur-Šulgi started to work in the é-uz-ga from 43/3/3 and

Ba-mu from 43/5/8. They worked together until 44/10/14 and Aya-kalla jointed them.

The animals distributed to the royal dining hall were 1 to 4 gazelle kids generally sent

by generals, 1 lamb or kid or the special young ewe (u8~sila4~nú-a) or young

nanny-goat. Sometime, the cooks took over 1 or 2 lamb for the boil meat (uzu-a-bala)

and about 11 fat lambs and kids as the allowance of the king (sá-dug4~lugal). We are

missing the texts recording cooks and the é-uz-ga during 44/2–5.Ur-dŠul-gi-ra was

probably promoted to the cup-bearer on AS7/7/9 (sagi maškim OIP 121 458).

3. The First Pair of Cooks: Ba-mu and Ur-Šulgi-ra, with Aya-kalla as Assistant of Ba-mu: Š 44/10/15 → Š 45/10/26 →45/12

Aya-kalla came to the é-uz-ga hall on 44/10/15 and might work as the assistant of

Ba-mu with Ur-Šulgi. After Bamu took the lamb of the é-uz-ga on 44/10/29, he left

his job to Aya-kalla and only worked on 45/4/19, and on 45/9/15 he returned to the

office. Only one month later, after 45/10/26, he formally transferred his cook job in

é-uz-ga to Aya-kalla, while the last workday of Ur-Šulgi, his partner, was 45/9/2.

Then we are missing the information of é-uz-ga for 2 months (45/11-12/0), during

which, the first pair of cooks of é-uz-ga passed the cook jobs to the second pair:

Aya-kalla and Dayyani, later with an Akkadian name.

In the zi-ga texts, the cooks worked as royal deputy (maškim) to deal the animals

delivered from nobles, but they took over (ì-dab5)

4.1. Sealing of Aya-kalla

We have several seal of Aya-kalla: 1) the royal cook during Šulgi and Amar-Sin; 2)

He was promoted to the šabra majordomo on AS 9/11/1 and during the Šu-Sin reign ;

3) In his son’ seal on AS 9/12d/10, he was titled as the chief cook of king; his son

Arad-Nanna once worked as his assistant; 4) During ŠS 9/10 – IS 2/10, there was a

sagi cupbearer who might be our Aya-kalla in his last career.

4.2. The Lambs Taken (ì-dab5) by Cooks for Various Cuisines

The cooks of the é-uz-ga had 2 kinds of work: 1) supervising or inspecting

(maškim) 1 or 2 lambs contributed by individual noble to é-uz-ga, from the general

managers, anonymous Nasa, Nasa and Abba-sagga; 2) taking (ì-dab5) lambs and

the ewe/nanny-goat with (or without) lamb/kid (u8-sila4-nu-a) from Nalu, sheep

fattener, and Lú-diĝirra, Šulgi-Aya-kalla-mu, Ahu-Wer, Zubaga and other livestock

officials of the Naqabtum royal farm, the é-uz-ga for the allowances of the king

(sá-dug4~lugal). The types of cooking meats and the allowance were several: 8

sucking lamb or 8 for the boiling meat (uzu~a~bala),

The 15 fat lambs for the sá-dug4 allowance of the é-uz-ga (46/11/15) possibly

for 15 days, and is named as “allowance of king” (sá-du11~lugal) on 48/3/15 and

4/15, but in 48/12, the sá-dug4 ~ é-uz-ga became 6 fat rams lambs and 11 sucking

lambs (17). From Amar-Sin 3/1/(15?)., the sá-dug4~lugal included 15 fat rams

lambs transferred to the two cooks each, and its main part was also called “Daily

Allowance” (šu—a ge-na); and in another text in AS 3/1, the sá-dug4~lugal was 11

fat rams lambs for allowance plus 4 sucking lambs for roast taste (ka-izi), total also

15, to Ur-Baba, cook, and 12 fat lambs and 7 sucking lambs (18) to Aya-kalla, who

was also good at cooking the Elamite meat (uzu~NIM) with 2 fat lambs in these

two texts, and at boiling meat with 1 fat lamb in the first text. Aya-kalla took 9

sucking lambs for his roast taste, 8 for sila4-ga: uzu~ a-bala--šè, 2 lambs and a kid

for his charcoal cooking (ne-mur) on 48/4/(1-20?), and on 48/5, 9 sucking lambs

for the é-uz-ga, were possibly for roast taste, too; In 48/4/15, he also took a fat ram

for the mu-du-lum preserved meat, 2 fat lambs for oven baking cuisine (gir4--ta

ba-šeg6) to the é-uz-ga dining hall. A fat ram for “wort or an herb”(? šà al-dida/ú-sa)

cooking was taken by Aya-kalla in 46/11/15 and 48/3/15.

AS 1/1/23, 27-29, the two cooks took one lambs each day for sá-dug4~lugal; In

AS 4/7 in Uruk and AS 4/9, both cooks took 2 fat lambs for the šu-a-ge-na daily

allowance, but the better Aya-kalla also took 1 sucking lamb as the roast taste of

the allowance of king. In AS 7/3, Ur-Baba took 2 fat lambs to cook boiling

meat and 1 sucking lamb for the roast taste, and Aya-kalla again took 1 fat lamb

for the Elamite meat and 2 fat ones for the roast taste for the allowance of king in

Nippur. On AS 8/2/4, AS 9/4/24 and 9/12diri/10, Aya-kalla took one sucking lamb

for the roast taste or boiling meat of the royal allowance. On ŠS 2/1/(1-15),

A-a-kal-la, now promoted by the new king to the šabra majordomo, again took 15

lambs for the sá-dug4~lugal, including 4 fat lambs, fat kids and 9 sucking lambs.

From Šu-Sin 1/1 and 4, Ur-šu-(zi-ka), son of Ur-Baba, the first one of the new

cook pair, took 12 fat lambs with kids and 5 sucking lambs (17), or 14 fat lambs

with kids and 1 sucking lamb (15), for the royal allowance. His partner Uri5-ki-dùg

from ŠS 3 was in charge of the additional supply (níĝ-diri) of the é-uz-ga, taking 3

fat kids and 5 sucking lambs on ŠS 4/9/(1-8), and Ur-šu took 3 fat kids with lamb

and 11 sucking lambs on ŠS 5/5/(1-15). Uri5ki-ki-dùg, possibly son of Aya-kalla,

was good at the special cuisine like his father, and took one sucking lamb for the

roast taste on 6/11/6, and one sucking lamb for the salt water pickling (a-mun-na)

on ŠS 6/11/6, 8, 10, and Ur-šu took 6 sucking lambs for the a-min-na salt water

cuisine on 6/8/0, and both took one sucking lamb for this cuisine on IS2/12/15-17.

For the royal allowance(sá-dug4~lugal), Ur-šu took 1 fat lamb and 3 sucking lamb

on ŠS 6/7/(1-4), and on 9/11/(1-10) 2 fat kids with 1 fat lamb and 7 sucking lambs,

but Uri5-ki-dùg took 2 fat kids with 1 fat lamb and 5 sucking lambs on 9/5/(1-8),

1 sucking lamb on 9/7/(1) and 1 fat kid with 4 fat lambs and 16 sucking lambs on

ŠS 9/11/(1-21).

4.3. Aya-kalla (Š 46/1/15-12/9) and Dayyani (Š46/5/15- 47/112/26)

From Š 46/1/15-16, Aya-kalla as the main cook supervised (maškim) the lambs,

gazelle kids and other animals to é-uz-ga issued by the anonymous one (Nasa) in

his zi-ga texts for two years, but there is no record from the 2nd

to 4th month. On

46/5/15th and 46/7/12, Dayyani, who replaced Ur-Šulgira, cook, became the cook

of é-uz-ga and colleague of Aya-kalla, who worked in months 4-7 for many days

on 46/4/30, 46/5/9-10, 13 and 20, 46/6/6, 12-13 and 21, and 46/7/15 and 18. Then

Dayyani inspected (maškim) the dining hall on 46/7/28, 46/8/27, 46/9/[?], 7, 15, 18,

25, while Aya-kalla worked only on 46/10/17. Then Aya-kalla worked on 11/15th

and 12/10, 12, 29th, 47/1/13, 15-16, and Dayyani on 46/11/5, 24 and 46/12/1,

47/2/28 and 3/6. On 47/1/6, 5/15, 18, both supervised (maškim) a lamb for the

special cuisines (for the royal allowance), issued from Lú-diĝirra, livestock

official of the Naqabtum farm, from whom Aya-kalla inspected the goats for the

é-uz-ga on Š 47/3/6, 3/27, 3/30, Š 47/4/17. Aya-kalla worked for 47/3-5 and

Dayyani came on 5/18-19, 22. Then Aya-kalla himself inspected the é-uz-ga for

47/6-8. Note that from 47/7/13, the anonymous general manager of Puzriš-Dagan,

who issued lambs to é-uz-ga and other consuming places, began to write down his

name Nasa on the mu-túm and zi-ga accounts and to use new formula: mu-túm

Nasa ì-dab5, and ki~ Nasa—ta ba-zi (47/7/15 ki~ Nasa, and 7/24th ba-zi, OIP 115

311).

After the fifth month of Š 47, Dayyani only appeared on Š 47/9/01, 47/9/19, 30,

Š *47/10/03, 47/11/08, 47/diri-11/26, while Aya-kalla inspected in the é-uz-ga from

47/9/4 - 12/9. Note that on the texts of 47/9/19th and 30

th, this name was written

Rí-in-da-ni and we are not certain whether it was a special spelling for the name or

another cook. The reason of Dayyani’s rare appearances is possibly because on Š

47/10/14, Dayyani cook became the gala singer in Uruk and Arád-mu

requisitioned 2 fat rams for his ritual (CST 189); in the next day, the sukkal-mah

Secretary of State again granted him 10 sheep, and on that day his work in é-uz-ga

was contemporarily take by Ur-Baba (maškim), a young assistant cook, (SAT 2

551). Ur-Baba formally took place of Dayyani in the royal dining hall from Š

48/2/16.

3The copy in TCS 144 is iti-[diri]-ezem-me-ki-gal2, but in Torino1 228 is she-kin-x. According to the

photo, the TCS 144 is right but is without diri-. Both in BDTNS and CDLI, the transliteration is

iti-she-kin-kud, but CDLI treats it as Shulgi.47.11d.26 which must be the new reading of Englund and

the photo supports it. Š 47 has diri-iti-Ezem-Me-ki~ĝál in MVN 15 314, TRU 117-119.

5.1. in Šulgi 48

From 48/2/16, Ur-Baba, cook, took over the job of Dayyani in the é-uz-ga and

became the second partner of Aya-kalla. No sealing of Ur-Baba are found and in a

silver receipt in AS 9/5 (MVN 13 837), an Ur-Baba was the son of Ur-sagga, cook: 2 gín

kug-babbar ki Ur-dBa-ú dumu~ Ur-sa6-ga—ta, Ur-

dBa-ú dumu~ Ur-tur muhaldim šu~

ba-an-ti. Aya-kalla still took lambs for his special cuisines of the royal allowance on

the 48/3/15 (šà~ al-ú-sa), 48/4/(1-20? KA-izi, ne-mur), 48/4/15 (gir4--ta ba-šeg6),

and inspected one lamb distributed from Nasa to é-uz-ga on 48/4/17, 21 and 48/5/1,

while Ur-Baba frequently inspected the é-uz-ga on Š 48/4/02, 48/4/16, 48/4/16-6/13.

From Lú-diĝirra and in Nippur on 48/6/24, both supervised the fat rams for gag-gu-lá

(“hanging by thread and wedge”), a special cuisine, and on 26th Aya-kalla himself did

it again, and also took a fat ram for this from En-diĝir-mu in Tummal on Š 48/8/*2.

After Ur-Baba was in charge of é-uz-ga on 48/6/28th, then from Š 48/7/5 to 48/8/19,

Aya-kalla himself inspected it for two months. Ur-Baba came back on 48/8/24 and

worked with his partner till 48/9/2, and then himself inspected the é-uz-ga from Š

48/9/29 to the end of the year, Š 48/12/22 and *AS 1/1/9, while Aya-kalla took lambs

for the offering of the throne (sá-dug4~\ki-ĝeš

gu-za) for 7 days (Š 48/11/23-29),

possibly that of Šulgi who died in 48/10, and for sá-dug4~é-uz-ga on Š 48/12/1-6.

On AS 1/1, Aya-kalla continued to take more lambs for more days of the royal

allowance accounted by Lú-diĝirra II, while Ur-Baba inspected one or two lambs, the

tributes from the noble and accounted by Nasa and then by Abba-sagga, his successor

from AS 1/ix from AS 1/1/20 to 1/11/13 (Aya-kalla was on 1/2/2). During AS 1/11,

both took the royal allowance.

During AS 2, Aya-kalla only worked only three times, AS 2/1/17, 1/22 and 11/16

(bear from Šu-Sin) and Ur-Baba normally inspected the lambs, gazelle kids and the

special young ewes or she-goats issued to é-uz-ga. At the beginning of AS 3,

Aya-kalla and Ur-Baba each twice took fat lambs for the royal daily allowance (šu-a~

ge-na) and special cuisine (uzu~NIM), also sucking lambs for the roast meat (ka-izi).

Aya-kalla inspected the é-uz-ga for three times on AS03/7/27, and dealt with a bear

cub (amar~az) offered by Šu-Sin on AS3/12/4 and another cub sent by Arád-mu,

Sacretary of State, on 7th, while Ur-Baba inspected the dining hall for the rest days.

In AS 4, Šu-Sin, the crown prince, kept sending bear cubs to the é-uz-ga for 3

times, inspected by Aya-kalla on [AS4/10/9?] (2 cubs) and 4/*10/13, and by Ur-Baba

on AS 4/10/20. However, on *AS 4/11/*20, Papanšen, the Bronze Vessel Controller

(zabar-dab5), contributed a cub, inspected by Aya-kalla. In AS 4/7/(1-2) in Uruk,

both took the royal allowance (sá-dug4~lugal), including 2 fat lambs for daily meat

(šu-a~ ge-na) and 1 sucking lamb for roast as the additional meat (niĝ-diri), and on

AS 4/9/(1-2) in Tummal, Aya-kalla again took fat lambs of daily offering and 1

sucking one for the additional roast one of the royal allowance.

5.3. Aya-kalla, Ur-Baba in Amar-Sin 5-6 and Hababatum in 6/2, and

Ur-Šulpae (AS 3 – ŠS 1)

During AS 5/1-8, Aya-kalla only worked on the é-uz-ga for 4 times (1/4, 26; 7/24

and 8/16) and Ur-Baba inspected lambs and gazelle kids for 13 days; however, then

Ur-Baba seemed to left the office (only came on AS05/9/17 and 5/11/25), but

Aya-kalla was active during AS 5/9-11 and inspected bear cubs from Šu-Sin for 6

times on AS 5/9/9, 5/9/27, 5/9/29, 5/10/6, 5/10/19, /10/24. In AS 6/2, a new cook,

Hababatum, who first occurred in Umma on AS 5/11/1, replaced Ur-Baba in the

é-uz-ga on AS 6/2/3rd

, 11, 20-21st and 6/3/14

th, and Ur-Baba came back on 6/4/26.

On 5/12/9, cook Ur-Šulpae once inspected a gazelle kid for é-uz-ga contributed

by Watarum, bishop. Before on AS 3/7 (iti-ezem-Šulgi), this cook, Ur-Baba and

brother of Aya-kalla with some small cooks, were listed with a group of nobles and

serving persons led by Watarum, bishop, Ilallum general and Arád-mu, sukkal-mah,

and Šu-Sin, crown prince who travelled to a city, passed and stationed in Umma

(Nisaba 24 29). On AS 6/10-12, Ur-Šulpae took the butter and milk for three months

on behalf of Lugal-má-gur8-re (PDT 1 372). On AS 7/9/21 and 25th, he dealt with the

goat and ram for the throne of the late Šulgi for 2 days, which was his main job, and

on AS 8//3/29, he inspected the gazelle kid of the é-uz-ga issued from

Lugal-amar-kug, who replaced Abba-sagga in the position of the general manager for

5 months. A few days later on AS 8/4/10, he again dealt with the fat ram for the Šulgi

(statue) of the date-orchard, issued from Nalu, and on AS 8/08/19th and 21

st, he again

inspected the ram and buck for the throne of Šulgi for two days, but Ur-Baba dealt

with the buck for the Drinking Place of the dead Ur-Namma on the 21st, and similarly

on AS 8/9/24, 1 ram and 1 buck from Abba-saga to the é-uz-ga were inspected by

Ur-Baba, but 2 ram and 1 buck for the throne of Šulgi were still supervised by

Ur-Šul-pa-è cook. On AS 9/1/14, he normally cooked his ram for the throne of Šulgi

while Aya-kalla prepared his lamb and gazelle kid. When Šu-Sin became king,

Ur-Šulpae supervised the ram for the thrones of the three late kings, Ur-Namma,

Šulgi and Amar-Sin on ŠS 1/9/20, and then on the same day of the next month, he last

inspected the fat ram for the throne of Šulgi and that of Amar-Sin each.

Note that Nasa started to use mu-er-ra10-ta “among the tributes” to omit the

names of contributors who were probably not high ranked persona, from Š 48'/vi’ =

48/11/2nd

, 3rd

(OrNS 46 225, MVN 08 113), 7th and 12/15 (YOS 4 226), but the term first

appears in a text of Abba-sagga in 47’xi’=48/4/0 (BIN 3 020), and when he succeeded

Nasa as the general manager, this term was used from AS 2/8/6 (BCT 1 077) and in

our texts of cooks, from AS05/8/15, and this term was frequently used by his

successor, In-ta-è-a, the general manager of Šu-Sin and Ibbi-Sin.

5.5. Aya-kalla with Arad-Nanna, His Son, and Ur-Baba in AS 9–ŠS 1 and

Amar-Sin died before 9/2/9th

On the 5th of Amar-Sin 9, Ur-Baba dealt with 6 rams with 1 lamb to Malkum in

Ga-eš, and then supervised the gazelle kids for é-uz-ga on AS 9/1/16, AS 9/2/22

and2/25th, and meanwhile Aya-kalla in the é-uz-ga inspected 1 lamb and gazelle kid

on AS 9/1/14 and a gazelle kid of A-da-tum on AS 9/2*/22.

There are two texts concerning Ur-Baba proving that Amar-Sin died before AS

9/2/9. On AS 9/2/9th from Zubaga, 4 fat rams were for 3 times issued for the throne

(ĝeš

gu-za) of Amar-Sin, which was the symbol of the dead king, inspected by

Ur-Baba cook. On AS 9/2/26th from the account of Zubaga in Ur, 2 rams were for the

throne of the dead Amar-Sin, 1 fat bull and 10 sheep in 2 times for the generals, 1 fat

ram for Naplanum, Amorite, all to the kitchen via Ur-Baba cook, and then 1 female

kid to dowager queen Abi-simti, for the Moon Lying Days (crescent 26-27), was sent

to the Palace in Ur via Zubaga, and then 2 or 1 fat ram were issued 5 foreign nobles

under the charge of Arád-mu, and then 2 fat rams for Ur-nigar, the deputy of the

crown prince (lú~ nam-dumu), which should have been Šu-Sin, via Babati, general

accountant (bisaĝ~ dub-ba) and brother of the dowager queen. In an account

statement on AS 9/7/21 of In-ta-è-a, the new manager of new king Šu-Sin and

successor of Abba-sagga, Ur-Baba controlled 2 gazelle kids of the é-uz-ga, which

was said “the expenses of king (zi-ga-lugal)”. On AS[x/x]/22 and a bear from

Lú-diĝirra I, the wild animal keeper of the Naqabtum royal farm, Ur-Baba

requisitioned 1 bear for the é-uz-ga and on AS[x/x]/23, a gazelle kid, tribute of

powerful Šu-Sin, to é-uz-ga, was under Ur-dBaba again. On AS 9/4/24, Aya-kalla

took a sucking lamb for boiling mutton serviced in the é-uz-ga ì-dab5

From AS 8/2/18, Arád-Nanna, a new young cook joined the two senior ones and

inspected a gazelle kid of Watarum for the Great Orchard (kiri6-mah), until SS1/8/9, a

female kid was asked by him for the é-uz-ga. On AS 9/5/26 Arad-Nanna inspected 1

ram to the é-uz-ga with 26 sheep for Abi-simti for the monthly níĝ-dab5 offering of

Crescent Lying Day. The seal of Arád-Nanna under Šu-Sin on an Aya-kalla’s text

shows that he was son and assistant of Aya-kalla: dŠu-

dSuen nita-kalag-ga,

lugal~Uri5ki-ma, Arád-

dNanna, dumu~ A-a-kal-la, muhaldim-gal~ lugal (OIP 121

577). In an account of In-ta-è-a on AS 9/12/9, he was in charge of the kid of

Siluš-Dagan in the é-uz-ga.

On AS 9/11/1 and 3rd

, 1 sucking lamb or kid was twice ordered by Aya-kalla for

the roast lamb in é-uz-ga, and the sealing of Aya-kalla here shows that he was

promoted to the majordomo (šab[ra]) of the palace now: dŠu-[

d]Suen nita-kala-ga,

lugal~Uri5ki-ma, lugal~an-ub-da limmu2-ba, A-a-[kal-la]*šab[ra]. On 9/11/20*, he

inspected a bear cub tribute of Pá-pá-an-še-en, but on AS9/ dr-12/7, Ninlil-ama-mu,

royal knight (rá-gaba) was in charge of 2 gazelle kid issued by In-ta-è-a to the

é-uz-ga. On 9/ dr-12/10, the Arad-Nanna’s sealing used on the text of a sucking lamb

for roast taken over by Aya-kalla from Zubaga shows that this son Aya-kalla worked

for his father. However, on AS 9/dr-12/17, the 2 gazelle kids issued to the é-uz-ga was

probably requisitioned by[Ur-šu], the new cook who replaced Ur-Baba, his father, in

the royal dining hall.

6. 1. Three Sealing of Ur-šu and Uri5ki

-ki-dùg

Ur-šu is the name of this cook, son of our Ur-Baba, in all the texts, but his full

name found in his sealing in ŠS 1 – 2/12 is Ur-Šu-zi-an-ka. He first appeared in a

text of AS 9/(12), and became the boss of the é-uz-ga from ŠS1/1 to IS 2/12/23.

Urim-ki-dùg came to the é-uz-ga on SS 2/2/25, one year later than Ur-šu and his

sealing were used from ŠS 4-9 in Puzriš-Dagan to IS 8/11 in a texts from Ur.

On AS 9/11/10 from Nalu, Ur-šu inspected a fat ram for the special igi-kár supply

to the seat place (ki- gu-za) of Watarum, bishop, and on 11/20 a red deer for Ma-al-ku

dub-sar, issued from Lú~ diĝira, the wild animal official. On ŠS 1/1/(1-17) from Nalu,

he took over 10 fat lambs and 2 fat female kids and 5 sucking lambs for the sá-dug4

allowance of king, with the seal of Ur-Šu-zi-an–ka, son of Ur-Baba. On ŠS1/1/04

from In-ta-è-a, Ur-šu cook supervised 4 gazelle kids for the é-uz-ga, and then 1

gazelle kid on /1/11 and 14th each day from Lú-diĝira, but on ŠS 1/1/15 in Ur and

from In-ta-è-a 2 supervised by A-*a-*ka[l-*l]a * cook (in fact he became sabra on

8/11/), which is the last use maškim for the pair of cooks.

The term change occurred on ŠS 1/1/25th when the 2 gazelle kids sent to the

é-uz-ga were not termed “supervised (maškim) by Aya-kalla” but termed as “to the

Office of Aya-kalla (ki~ Aya-kalla)”, and to the same, another gazelle kid from Nalu

was termed “to the Office of Ur-šu (ki~ Ur-šu)” on 1/28th, and on ŠS 1/2/28, the

Office of cook Aya-kalla had the last tribute, 2 fat rams for the é-uz-ga, and then his

office became the Office of Ur-šu, his son. However, on ŠS1/3/22, 1 fat gazelle for

é-uz-ga was inspected (maškim) by Ur-šu cook, which is the last use of the maškim

for Ur-šu, “whose office” was used to indicate that he was one of two bosses of

é-uz-ga on ŠS1/4/17. On ŠS 1/4/(1-20) from Nalu, Ur-šu took over 5 sucking lamb, 4

female kid and 11 fat lamb for the royal allowance (sá-dug4~lugal), with his seal of

son of Ur-Baba, and also in ŠS1/4/1 from Zubaga, 1 fat ram for the roast cuisine

(ka-izi-šè) Ur-šu cook.

6.3. Ur-šu, Arad-Nanna, Son of Aya-kalla (now majordomo of the palace) and

Aya-kalla, and Ur-Šulpae Cook: ŠS 1/6/25 -2/2/0

During ŠS 1/6 - 2/1, Arad-Nanna, muhaldim, son of Aya-kalla, replaced for his

father, now the majordomo, and 1 ram was issued to his office (ki~ Arád-Nanna) on

(ŠS 1)/6/25. However, he was still termed as maškim on SS1/7*/9 and 8/9th, when a

female kid was respectively issued to the é-uz-ga, while on 7/*25, the female kid of

the é-uz-ga was issued to the Office of Ur-šu cook, his colleague.

Cook Ur-Šulpae was still in charge of the throne of the dead kings and on

ŠS1/9/20, he inspected 3 bucks for three thrones of Ur-Namma, Šulgi and

Amar-Sin, and on the 20th of the next month, 2 rams for two thrones of Šulgi and

Amar-Sin. In the next year, on ŠS 2/9/23, via him, Ribagada, royal knight,

supervised 3 fat rams for the sacrifice of Malkum šà~ bala “the Princes in the past

ruling periods”, who might mean three dead kings.

Aya-kalla, cook and majordomo, last took over the lambs and kids for the royal

cuisine to king on ŠS 2/1/(1-15) when 4 fat lambs, 2 fat kids and 9 sucking lambs (for

ka-izi roast) were issued for the royal allowance (sá-dug4~lugal) taken by him from

Nalu, with the seal: Šu-Sin: A-a-kal-la, šabra.

Note that in this period, the animals to the é-uz-ga were rarely mentioned from

an individual noble, which may mean that those noble rarely paid tribute to the

private dining hall of king Šu-Sin.

6.3. Ur-šu: AS 9/11 - IS 2/12/23 and Uri5ki

-ki-dùg: ŠS 2/25 - IS 2/12/17, and

Ibbi-Sin as King from AS 9/4

On ŠS 2/2/25, Uri5-ki-dùg first inspected 6 gazelle kids of é-uz-ga, but then on ŠS

2/9/29, a lamb and a bear cub issued by In-ta-è-a to the é-uz-ga to <Office of Ur-šu or

Uri5ki

-ki-dùg> (no cook in the text!). On ŠS 2/12/(1-15), 4 fat lambs, 5 fat female

kids and 6 sucking lambs for the royal allowance were taken by *Ur!-šu with his

sealing: Ur-šu-zi-an- ka, son Ur-Baba.

We have only two texts of cooks in the years of ŠS 3-4. It is strange that on the

only cook text of ŠS 3, a gazelle kid from Du11-ga for the é-uz-ga on 3/1/25 was

issued to a strange En-nam-dŠulgi. On ŠS 4/9/(1-8) from Ahu-Wer, 3 fat female kids

and 5 fat lambs (8), for the additional food (níĝ-diri) of the é-uz-ga were taken over

by Uri5-ki-dùg, with his sealing: dSuen, lugal-kalag-ga, lugal-Urim5

ki-ma, lugal~

an-ub-da~limmú–ba: Uri5ki

-ki-dùg, arád--zu. On ŠS 5/4/10, from Ur-Kug-nunna, 1

gazelle kid for the é-uz-ga was issued to Ur-šu cook and in ŠS 5/5/(1-14) also from

Ahu-Wer, 1 fat lamb and 2 fat female kids and 11 sucking for the additional food of

the é-uz-ga were taken by Ur-šu. In the šà-bi--ta balance statement of ŠS 5/11/16 for

the beer banquet office of (ki~ kaš-dé-a) of In-ta-è-a, 2 bear cubs, the tribute

(mu-túm~lugal) of Bušam, ruler of Simanum, to é-uz-ga were issued to the Office of

Ur-šu, cook, as the withdrawal of king (zi-ga~lugal).

On ŠS 6/2/25 from Du-ú-du, 1 fat ram to the beer brewing (a-bappir--šè) of the

é-uz-ga for Princess Me-Ištaran. Both took over lambs for the royal allowance on ŠS

6/7/(1/7): from Ahu-Wer, 1 fat lamb and 3 sucking lamb were taken by Ur-šu, and 3

sucking lambs (for roast cuisine) by Uri5-ki-dùg; and also in the next month on ŠS

6/8/(1-7) from Nur-Adad, Ur-Šu took over 1 sucking lamb for the roast cuisine

(ka-izi-šè) and 6 sucking lamb for the salt pickled mutton (a-mun-na--šè) of the royal

allowance. In the three days of the 11th month, the same norm of 1 sucking lamb for

roast and 1 for salt pickled mutton on ŠS 6/11/6, and one for pickled mutton on the 8th

and the same one on 10th were taken by Uri5-ki-dùg (his seal to ŠS).

On ŠS 7/1/1 and 8/13th from In-ta-è-a, one or two lamb tribute to the é-uz-ga was

distributed to the Office of Ur-šu cook, while on SS 7/8/28, to the Office of

Uri5-ki-{tuš}-dùg. On ŠS 7/10/20 from In-ta-è-a, the general manager, in Ur, one bear

cub tribute, which was usually paid by Šu-Sin when he was the crown prince but now

the name of a noble contributor was no more listed, was possibly to <the Office of

<Ur-šu, cook. On ŠS 7/11/4 from the general manager, the lamb for the é-uz-ga, the

Office (*ki~) of Uri5-ki~dùg cook, was requisitioned by Ribagada (rá-gaba) and on

ŠS 7/12/21, 6 gazelle kids was issued to the Place of Uri5-ki-dùg cook.

On ŠS 8/7/2, the lamb for the é-uz-ga to the Office of Ur-šu cook, was inspected

by Husuz-zarrari šùš while on 8/15th, /9/28 and 10/18, the lamb to the é-uz-ga, the

Office of Uri5-ki-dùg cook without maškim. On ŠS 8/12/24, In-ta-è-a distributed 1

gazelle kid paid to the é-uz-ga to the Office of Ur-šu cook.

On ŠS 9/*2/(1-9) from Puzur-Enlil, the official under In-ta-è-a, Cook Ur-šu took

over 3 fat lambs, 2 fat female kids and 4 sucking lambs (9) of the royal allowance.

According to the sealing of Uri5ki

-ki-dùg in ŠS 9/5/(1-8), Ibbi-Sin became the king

in the fourth month of Amar-Sin 9, when the royal allowance of 1 fat lamb, 2 fat

female kids, and 5 sucking lambs (8) from Puzur-Enlil were taken by him with his

seal of royal cook granted to him by Ibbi-Sin. On ŠS 9/6/21 from In-ta-è-a, 1

gazelle kid for the é-uz-ga was issued the Office of Ur-šu cook, and in the account

balance of ŠS 9/7/4 of In-ta-è-a, 2 gazelle kids, the tribute to the king from Apilaša

and Šeš-kalla are listed in the income part, and the two in the withdrawal part are

listed as the withdrawal of the king to the é-uz-ga taken by [Ur-šu]. On ŠS 9/7/(1),

Uri5ki

-ki-*dùg, *cook, took over the one sucking lamb for the royal allowance from

Puzur-Enlil. on ŠS 9/8/23 from In-ta-è-a, 1 gazelle kid was sent to the é-uz-ga in

Place of Uri5-ki-dùg cook, and 1 lamb on ŠS 9/9/13.

On ŠS 9/10/4 from Puzur-Enlil in Ur, 1 fat bull was issued for the throne place of

Ur- Namma, 1 for throne of Šu-Sin via Ur-šu cook, and 1 fat bull for that of Šulgi

and Amar-Sin, via Uri5ki-ki-dùg cook, which proves that Šu-Sin died and Ibbi-Sin

became king on ŠS 9/4. On ŠS 9/*11/(1-10) from Puzur-Enlil, Ur-šu took 1 fat lamb,

2 fat female kids and 7 sucking lamb (ka-izi-šè), 10, for the royal allowance, and on

ŠS 9/*11/(11-30?) Uri5ki

-ki-dùg took 4 fat lambs, 1 fat female kid and 16 sucking

(ka-izi) of the royal allowance. On ŠS 9/12/14 from Šulgi-ili, 3 fat rams for the three

thrones (Šulgi, Amar-Sin and Šu-Sin, the ancestors mu~ĝeš

gu-za~ 3-a-ba--šè) via

Uri5ki-ki-dùg cook, inspected by Ninlil-zi-mu.

Note that Nalu retired after Šu-Sin 6 and Puzur-Enlil was in charge of the royal

allowance.

On IS 1/3/5 from Sugali, the wild animal official, 1 gazelle kid tribute to the

é-uz-ga was issued to the Office of Ur-šu cook, which is the only text with a cook in

the whole first year of Ibbi-Sin, and then on IS 2/1/17, the two gazelle kids to the

é-uz-ga were issued to the Office of Ur-šu cook. On IS 2/2/19 from In-ta-è-a, 1 fat

female kid to the é-uz-ga was issued to the Place of Uri5-ki-dùg. On IS 2/5/7th and 8

th

from Puzur-Enlil in *Ur, the sucking lamb tribute to the é-uz-ga was issued to the

Office of Uri5-ki-dùg cook and that of Ur-šu (*ki~ *Ur-šu cook) respectively.

On IS 2/12/15-17th ki~ A-ba-Enlil-gin7, via Puzur-Enlil, 1 sucking lamb for the

salt pickled mutton (a-*mun-*na—šè) was issued to the Office of Ur-šu cook on 15

and 17th, and to the Office of Uri5-ki-dùg cook on 12/16

th. Also on IS 2/12/17 but

-ki-

dùg cook, and on 12/23rd

(muhaldim).

After that day, the archives of the Animal Accounting Center in Puzriš-Dagan,

é-Puzriš-Dagan, were all closed, the falling of Ur III dynasty began, and through the

rest of 23 years, it reached its end. After that days, Ur-šu and Uri5ki-ki-dùg moved to

capital Ur, since the sealing of latter was used there on IS 8/11/0 (UET 3 0252): the 9

liters of oil for the tenth and eleventh month each, from a Ga-ti-e to the Drinking

Place (ki-a-naĝ) of dAmar-

dSuen, sealed by Uri5

ki-ki-dùg. The sealing is

The divine Ibbi-Sin, the god of the land, the mighty king, king of Ur and king of

the four quarters [granted] this seal to Uri5ki-ki-dùg, cook of king, his servant.
