A Parthian Campaign against Elymais in 77 B.C
Texts from Hellenistic Babylonia in the Ashmolean Museum; With Notes on the Seal Impressions by the Late Briggs Buchanan
Priest and Temple in Hellenistic Babylonia
Inheritance in Seleucid Babylonia
The normal method of settling questions of inheritance in Babylonia was not by testament but according to a division among the male heirs. In legal terms, then, inheritance was normally ab intestato in Babylonia. The regulation of the size of the portions of the various heirs in a family varied according to local custom and regulation. Testaments are known sporadically from Old Assyrian and Middle Assyrian sources but are not found among the docu…
Late Babylonian Kish
The excavations at Kish from 1923–33 are an important episode in the annals of British archaeology—or to express it more accurately Anglo-American archaeology.

Much material was brought to light as a result of these excavations, but the reports from the period on the archaeological finds left much to be desire…

The texts presented here are among the latest administrative records in cuneiform and are concerned primarily with recording the income and expenditures of the temples of Babylon. The texts were originally hous…
