UNDOING THE EFFECTS OF UNPROPITIOUS LUNAR OMENS: ADDITIONS TO K.6018+// (BM 46590, K.13919, AND 82-3-23, 108)

This article presents editions and hand-copies of the cuneiform tablet BM 46590 and the tablet fragments K.13919 and 82-3-23, 108. These new pieces either duplicate or expand the ritual for undoing the effects of unpropitious lunar omens known from K.6018+//, providing new information on Akkadian incantation-prayers to the moon god. Most importantly, the prayer “Sîn 5”, previously known only from a couple of fragmentary lines, can now be read almost in full.
