Abstract

This contribution provides editions of all known texts belonging to the archive of the Rēˀi-sisê family from Sippar. It further includes a discussion of the (relatively modest scale) business profile of its main protagonist, Šamaš-iddin/Niqūdu//Rēˀi-sisê, who was active during the second half of the sixth century BCE (546/530–518 BCE). The present study is the third installation of a larger collaborative effort to make available the Minor Archives from First Millennium BCE Babylonia, the results of which are to be published in volumes of this journal. A companion volume containing copies of all tablets published in this series as well as a comprehensive prosopography is in preparation for the Journal of Cuneiform Studies Supplemental Series.
