Hey guys, I was reading an article and this text was mentioned in passing as ED I-II text which may be literary in nature. It was found in Ur and is now in the Iraq Museum. Here is a copy of it: Here is the transcription from CDLI: column 1 1. , SZE~a# A# [...] AB~a# X AB~a#? 2. , [...] AN# 3. , [...] X 4. , [...] X column 2 1. , X [...] 2. , NUN~a NU [...] X 3. , 1(N45) SZE~a 4. , BAR? DA~a? 5. , SAR~a SZU 6. , U4 U4 ABZU EN~a AN SZIDIM 7. , NIR~a MUSZEN U4 8. , 1(N45) SZE~a# 9. , [...] column 3 1. , [...] 2. , EN~a#? [...] AB~a# 3. , 1(N45) SZE~a 4. , TU~b MUSZEN 5. , GI UDU~a 1(N57) 6. , U4 U4 AN ABZU NUN~a EN~a 7. , NU EN~a MUSZEN NUN~a U4 column 4 1. , NUN~a EN~a [...] 2. , 1(N45) SZE~a 3. , ME~a KISAL~b1 NI~b A 4. , U4 U4 ABZU# NUN~a SZIDIM X [...] 5. , EN~a X [...] I am guessing this text is in ud.gal.nun, because it seems like there is enough info to tell whats going on, yet I can't make sense of it. Have any of you had any previous encounters with this text?

I just saw this referenced in "Nonadministrative Documents from Archaic Ur and from Early Dynastic I–II Mesopotamia: A New Textual and Archaeological Analysis" JCS 69 and they agree its impossible to understand anything. However they also note : " Recently, Michalowski (forthcoming) has interpreted this text as a step in the scholarly endeavor to adapt writing, mostly assigned to administrative texts or lexical lists, to more complex types of texts consisting of sentences and of a kind of narrative pattern."
