| Abstract | ||
| Among the cuneiform texts currently preserved in the Sulaymaniyah Museum, which has been obtained through purchase and confiscation, there are more than 97 Cuneiform tablets dating back to the Third Dynastic of Ur. It formed a private archive for one of the Sumerian merchants known as (Eṣidum), which was not known until the present time. The archive as a whole gives us an idea of the work activities of a member of the strata of Sumerian society during the second half of the rule of the third dynasty of Ur, who is quite similar to the work of the well-known merchants of this period (SI.A-a and Tûram-ilî). Isidum, is known by his surname, was (dam-gara3) a merchant. The archive doesn’t has a calendar system and its source is not known to the present time. In this research, we will study eight unpublished texts from the archives, which are concerned with giving various loans of grain and silver. | ||
