Abstract
In presenting the following study for publication in honour of Professor O. R. Gurney, it is our hope that one who has made generous contributions to the growing corpus of Akkadian medical texts, and who has long been interested in the place and purpose of magical figurines in ritual texts, will look with favour upon a contribution which involves both fields. The paper has been written by the second author from a basic manuscript of the selected text contributed by the first; and this happy circumstance allows us also, however marginally, to associate our work with the name of Benno Landsberger, for the text is one which was studied jointly by Landsberger and Mrs Ritter during his last years. There can be no doubt at all that Landsberger would have been pleased to participate in a Festschrift honouring one of his own students, and in a sense three generations of scholarship are represented in this study.
