  • Recriminations on the Diyala

    Gary BeckmanARTICLEZeitschrift für Assyriologie und…2026

    The texts studied in this essay are all “incoming mail” from the archive of king Ilūni of Ešnunna, two sent by the rival dynast Inzuršakšu, and one by the former’s daughter Šamuḫtum. They shed further light on a quarrel between the two rulers at the end of the eighteenth century BCE , when the Diyala Valley and adjacent Zagros foothills witnessed a struggle for domination among numerous smaller kingdoms following the collapse of Šamši-Adad’s “Kin…

  • Corruption in the Hittite Administration

    Gary BeckmanARTICLEAltorientalische Forschungen2022

    Given the paucity of judicial records in the archives of Ḫatti, examination of administrative malfeasance and abuse of office by members of the Hittite bureaucracy entails consultation of other types of texts—particularly of instructions for office holders and of inventories of the furnishings of cultic institutions. I will present a typology of self-dealing among Hittite officials and consider the Hittite vocabulary for fraud or treachery as wel…

  • Medicine, Hittite

    Open AccessGary BeckmanCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2016

    Owing to a paucity of relevant sources, we know rather little about Hittite medical practice, but it is clear that native therapies relied as much on magic as upon what moderns would recognize as medicine. Practitioners from Babylonia and Egypt, whose expertise was acknowledged to be superior to that of local physicians, were welcome at the Hittite court.
