[š]a-pí-il-ti ṣa-bi-ia ba-zi-H ̮ i-tam [pí]-ḫa-za-am an-zutam ša gi pisan.didli.H ̮ i.a [iš-š]u-ú 'The rest of my troop carried the monkey, the "mouse"1 and the female eagle2 in ? the coffers.' (ARM 26, 18: 24-26) The edition translates ba-zi-H ̮ i-tam as "le tout nécessaire". The interpretation is based upon a comparison with ba !?-zi-iḫ-tim in Sumer 14, 24: 11. Yet the latter is itself an obscure hapax. What is more likely to appear alongside the "mouse" and the eagle is another exotic animal.3 Such a term does exist in Akkadian: it appears once more almost a millennium later, in an epigraph on the Black Obelisk of Shalmanasar III: ma-da-tu šá kur mu-uṣ-ri anše.a.ab.ba meš šá šu-naa-a ṣe-ri-ši-na al-ap i 7 sa-de-e-ia su-ú-su pi-ra-a-ti meš ba-zi-a-ti ú-qup-pu meš am-ḫur-šu 'I received tribute from Egypt: two-humped camels, a water-buffalo, a rhinoceros, an antelope, elephants, bazi ʔ itu-monkeys and uqūpu-monkeys.' (RIMA 3, A.0.102.89) 2 For anzûm as a real-word bird ('eagle' or the like), see Durand (1987) and Militarev/Kogan (2005, 71-72). 3 On exotic animals as diplomatic gifts, see Lion (1992). On monkeys and apes in cuneiform sources, see Dunham (1985).

The “treasure archive” of Puzriš-Dagan from a Mari perspective

Paola Paoletti's recent monograph makes a seminal contribution on subjects as different as the Pu... more Paola Paoletti's recent monograph makes a seminal contribution on subjects as different as the Puzriš-Dagan archives and administration, Ur III society, Mesopotamian material culture, and Sumerian lexicography. 1 The results obtained for the "treasure archive" invite comparison with the data of other institutional archives, including the palace archives of Mari. In what follows, I will focus on two issues only: the archive itself, including its reconstruction as well as some accounting and bookkeeping issues (Paoletti's chapters 1-3); the archive's vocabulary of precious objects, as represented in Paoletti's glossary (Paoletti's chapter 4). THE ARCHIVE The group of Puzriš-Dagan documents under study is referred to as "treasure and shoe archive" (Schatz-und Schuharchiv), or as "treasure archive" (Schatzarchiv) and "shoe archive" (Schuharchiv) as two separate units. The group includes 292 documents "which belong to the treasure and shoe archive or have to do with it" (p. 22). The group has been pieced together from tablets which come from early undocumented excavations and belong to a number of collections, but share the following features: first, these documents originate from Puzriš-Dagan (Drehem), as shown by the museum data, the mentions of the toponym, the formulary and the orthography (p. 28-32); second, they deal with valuable materials and artefacts (precious metals and stones, jewellery, weaponry, beds, shoes, etc.), and mention the persons involved in their management. Of the 292 documents, 190 have been attributed to the "treasure archive" (p. 35), and 66 to the "shoe archive" (p. 127). 12 texts are explicitly described as "not (directly) belonging to the treasure archive" (p. 61 f.). The remaining 24 documents are too damaged or untypical for exact attribution. The "treasure archive" documents span over 39 years, from Sulgi 31 to Ibbi-Suen 3. The extant documents represent only a random part of the institution's erstwhile archives (p. 22). Paoletti put the documents together and produced a reconstruction of an archive (chapters 2 and 3). The reconstruction includes a study of the documents' formulary and a prosopographic inquiry into the terms of office and the duties of the Puzriš-Dagan officials responsible for the precious goods. This reconstruction helps us understand the documents as a group, and clarifies the Ur III archive and book-keeping practices. The study is bound to remain for a long time the reference and the point of departure for any further investigation into the "treasure archive". The following discussion will outline ways of further research, but also challenge the reconstruction at some points. Many of the suggestions are triggered by as yet unpublished results of a recent study of Mari archive-keeping and accounting (Arkhipov & Chambon forthcoming).
