WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! What alot of work Ummia, thanks very much! I must talk to about presentation of this information and I wonder what sort of background info we might get on some of these. I have see some I haven't noticed before - and I remember IVe been meaning to order a article on that snake charmer for a long long time!

[amarsin]

This looks like it came from the ePSD, or perhaps some related database.

Either way, prostitution isn't something that makes its way into "official" or administrative sources in Sumerian (or even later Akkadian) documents.

The Sumerian term is kar-kid, while the Akkadian is harimtu, but we don't know much about prostitution in ancient Mesopotamia. Obviously transactions between a prostitute and customer aren't the type to be recorded. And since it doesn't seem to have had the social taboos (and really not even the legal restrictions) of today, we don't see, for instance, prostitutes show up in legal documents (e.g., court records).

There's a lot that's not clear about prostitution in ancient Mesopotamia, but it seems that this wasn't the sort of profession as was, say, a potter or leather worker, who often worked for larger temple estates or for the crown. And even those who did so outside of such institutions no doubt appear here and there in written documents as they sold goods or acquired raw materials...

Thanks you for that comment Amarsin It is enjoyed. I hope you wont mind me transferring it to the I enjoy the Academic Discussion of Sumerian Subjects board, to be used a part of my reply to that George fellow.

Resource Extractors
straw chopper: "ĝeši-innušugura"




Interestingly I cannot find the names of any other resource extractors. I am aware of the lack of natural resources within Mesopotamia. However I was hoping since Sumerian was used in economic texts there would be a word for "Lumberjack" for the people sending cedar from Lebanon. Also I am hoping to find a word for professions extracting metals from mines and minerals from stone quarries. Also of note, there is no term for a profession that deals with Bitumen which was used to seal mud-bricks and waterproof boats.


Edit: Lumberjack: "lu-tir" (potts pg. 112)

[ummia-inim-gina]

Another profession I cant find a name for is a Bee keeper. While usually when you see the word honey in a text it is actually referring to date-honey I've read the Mesopotamians did use Bee's honey medicinally.

[theblindinglight]

Does anyone know if there was a royal prosecutor as in a legal position (crown prosecutor)?
Was this non-existant? Or was each citizen intended to hold his fellow man responsible for following the laws of the day, perhaps there was a witness system like in the Hebrew's legal code.

I am of course interested because of the heavenly 'satan', the legal accuser working for YHWH in the Hebrew Bible. Any connections? I read Peggy Day's 'an adversary in heaven: satan in the hebrew bible'

i know this is a dead area, so if no one responds i will know why! thanks

[madness]

You ought to look at DDD s.v. satan II

. . . or I'll just type the whole paragraph:

Although the noun śāṭān has no cognates in texts that are prior to or contemporary with the biblical texts in which it occurs, there are in Akkadian three legal terms meaning 'accuser' that can have both terrestrial and celestial referents. These terms are bēl dabābi, bēl dīni and ākil karṣi. Each can refer either to a human legal opponent or to a deity acting as an accuser in a legal context, and thus each term functionally parallels the noun śāṭān even though there is no etymological relationship. For example, the deities Nanay and Mār-Bīti are charged to guarantee an agreement sworn in their names. Should anyone attempt to alter the agreement, these deities were to assume the role of legal adversaries (EN.MEŠ di-ni-šu [VAS 1 36 iii.4]). Standing behind this notion of deities playing legal roles with respect to earthly happenings is the well-known idea of the divine council, acting as a judiciary body.

[hukkana]

I was wondering, are there any specifics known for lumberjacks of the period, meaning for example the types of tools they used etc. ?
