In this paper, we publish some remarkable brick inscriptions of Takil-ilissu, king of Malgum, which were recently found during a survey that led to the identification of Malgum, the capital of an independent kingdom in the Isin-Larsa period. The bricks come from Tulul al-Faj, the site that has been identified as ancient Malgum. Besides adding new details about Takil-ilissu, a relatively little-known ruler, these inscriptions are noteworthy for containing unusual words, expressions, and clauses.

Abstract
In this paper, we publish some remarkable brick inscriptions of Takil-ilissu, king of Malgum, which were recently found during a survey that led to the identification of Malgum, the capital of an independent kingdom in the Isin-Larsa period. The bricks come from Tulul al-Faj, the site that has been identified as ancient Malgum. Besides adding new details about Takil-ilissu, a relatively little-known ruler, these inscriptions are noteworthy for containing unusual words, expressions, and clauses.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
