This article focuses on the attestations of Semitic lexical numbers larger than “ten thousand” in cuneiform texts from Ebla (late 24th century BC). After briefly showing the consistency of the attestations of the terms for “one hundred” (mi-at, at least 3,125 known attestations), “one thousand” (li-im, 641 known attesta¬tions), and “ten thousand” (rí-bab, 62 known attestations), the occurrences of ma-i-at, the term meaning “one hundred thousand” (25 known attestations), are first discussed. Based on the evidence of lexical lists and administrative texts it is then suggested that ma-ḫu-at (5 known attestations) is not a variant of ma-i-at, as commonly believed, but rather the term meaning “one million.” The largest quantities that have been recorded in the administrative texts of Ebla so far made known are then shown synoptically. This allows one to see that they mostly refer to barley and plots of land. Moreover, it can be observed that the personal names connected with these very large quantities coincide with those of the most prominent men of the Ebla elite during the years immediately preceding the fire that destroyed Palace G. Among them stands out the last king of Ebla, who, according to the new interpretation proposed here, in one text is associated with a number of measures of barley just over one million.
