| Abstract | ||
| The topic of this study deals with the publication of a confiscated cuneiform text kept in the Iraqi Museum from Ur III period. It dates back to the reign of King Šulgi, and it is very likely that it is from the texts of the city of Drehem based on a collection of texts that were recently studied between 2022-2023 including our text where the number of those studied is about (200) cuneiform tablets out of more than (700) cuneiform tablets that entered the Iraqi Museum between (2020-2021) Most of them date back to King Šulgi. Our cuneiform text (IM.239595) is the text of a cuneiform inscription of a royal gift seal (IN-NA-BA) dedicated by King Šulgi (2094-2047 BCE) to his daughter Šāt-Kukuti who is mentioned for the first time of her explicit lineage; that is to her father King Šulgi. | ||
