Comments

  • The spelling of ‘jnḏ’ in this attestation for jnḏ 28060 is unparalleled. I argue that jnḏ, should instead be understood as the phrase j.nḏ “to question” (Wb 2, 370-371.14), whereby a prothetic yod is affixed to the verb. According to Junker, this text alludes to parallel texts whereby the craftsmen were provisioned appropriately (Junker 1944: 148). Consequently, instead of the interpretation “Niemals war die Handwerkerschaft deswegen betrübt.” (S.Grunert), the interpretation “never did the craftsmen question it (=payment)”, is logical and “relates to the positive assurances described by Junker, as the craftsmen had no reason to dispute their provisions” (Jenkins 2021: 137).
