Tiglath-pileser III 63


Obverse
11	É.GAL ^mTUKUL-A-é-šár1	(1) Palace of Tiglath-pileser (III), king of Assyria: two minas of the king.
22	MAN KUR AŠ
33	2 MA.NA ša ⸢LUGAL⸣2

1Tadmor, when he collated the inscription (Tigl. III p. 316, Addenda et corrigenda to p. 214), saw no traces of -ra after -šár-. This is either an abbreviated writing adopted for inscriptions on relatively small objects (see text nos. 1005 and 2002) or else ŠÁR should be read as šara₆ (Borger, MZ p. 522).

2⸢LUGAL⸣: Tadmor read this sign as KUR in Tigl. III (p. 214). However, the traces of the sign in Fales’ published copy suggest that this sign should be read as LUGAL. Moreover, the reading of the sign as LUGAL is supported by the fact that “mina of the land” is not attested in Akkadian inscriptions written on other lion weights from Nimrud, whereas “mina of the king” is. The expression “mina(s) of the land” (mnn N b zy ʾrqʾ, etc.), however, is used in Aramaic texts on those same objects. Moreover, as convincingly suggested by F.M. Fales (SAAB 10/1 [1996] pp. 15–16) and C. Zaccagnini (Studies Heltzer pp. 259–265), “mina of the land” (mainly used in Aramaic texts, but occasionally in Akkadian texts [e.g. Kwasman and Parpola, SAA 6 no. 176 line 11´]) always refers to a heavy mina (ca. 1 kg), whereas “mina of the king” (which occurs in both Akkadian and Aramaic texts) can refer to a heavy mina or a light mina (ca. 0.5 kg).
