  • The Reading of KTU 1.19

    Wayne T PitardARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…1994

    The description of Aqhat's burial in KTU 1.19:iii:41 has been the source of considerable controversy over the past five decades. The primary issue has revolved around the uncertain reading of the last word of the line. A new collation, supported by macro-photographs, argues for reading the disputed word as bknrt, instead of bknkn or bknkt. The meaning of the word, knrt, however, remains obscure

    Wayne T Pitard, John McRayCHAPTERThe Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary1992

    [Heb dammeśeq, dûmmeśeq, darmeśeq]. DAMASCENE. A city of S Syria, which is not only the capital of modern Syria, but was the capital of the nation of Aram during the 10th through 8th centuries b.c.e. Aram was a constant rival to, and sometimes an ally of Israel, until it was incorporated in the Assy

  • A New Edition of the "Rāpiʾūma" Texts

    Wayne T PitardARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…1992

    The majority of Ugaritic texts have not been adequately published because epigraphically useful photographs have rarely been provided. Scholars relying on previous editions, which usually provide only a transcription and drawn facsimile (neither of which allows for independent evaluation of the traces on the tablet), have been unable to make informed choices about readings on which the editions disagree. That has led to numerous proposals for rea…

  • The Identity of the Bir-Hadad of the Melqart Stela

    Wayne T PitardARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…1988

    Since its publication in 1939, the Melqart Stela has been identified with the royal dynasty of Aram-Damascus and has been used to reconstruct the succession of that state's rulers. However, a new reading of the donor's patronymic in the stela's inscription argues against identifying the donor, Bir-Hadad son of Ê¿Attar-hamek, with any known king of Damascus. It appears, rather, that Bir-Hadad was the ruler of an area called Aram in northern Syria,…

  • Is the Area of Apum-Damascus Mentioned in the Mari Archives

    Wayne T PitardARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…1986

    In 1939 Dossin published a list of several kings and states mentioned in the Mari letters as having economic dealings with Mari. Among the kings in the list were two rulers of a land of Apum. While Dossin assumed that these kings lived in the land of Apum located in northern Mesopotamia, W. F. Albright in 1941 proposed that they were rulers of the land of Apum in southern Syria, around the area of Damascus. Albright's proposal has been widely acc…
