Abstract

The present article contains editions of two previously unpublished tablets from the collection of Mustafa Demir, registered at the Gaziantep museum. The tablets are slave records and are dated to the reign of Ashurbanipal (r. 668–c. 630 BCE) or slightly later. Based on prosopographical information, as well as on the report of the seller, they probably stem from the same archive as the four tablets edited by Jiménez / Adalı / Radner 2015. This archive was located at the city of Marqasi (modern Kahramanmaraş), in southeastern Turkey. The tablets contain several previously unattested anthroponyms, as well as a hitherto unknown geographical name (Pazāp(a)).
