I would like to express my gratitude to for the funding that enabled the digitization of seals in the Yale Babylonian Collection. There is much to be said about the ways in which thoughtful digitization opens up new lines of critical research. Thank you !

Today, my AKKAD AB students and I are reading UET 6, 402, a literary account of vengeance. The tablet records the speech of Kuzullum, a man wronged by Elali while under oath. Now, he asks for Elali to lose his right to heirship, be made poor, and become infected with leprosy.
