LAMENTATION ON THE DESTRUCTION OF UR. 7080 (NO. 11)

The fragment Ni. 7080 carries the right half of one of the largest
literary tablets in the Museum. Broken evenly at the center from top to
bottom the right half of this tablet preserves part of Col. III and all of
Cols. IV, V of the obverse. The reverse correspondingly contains Cols. I,
II and half of Col. III. Like so many similar liturgical compositions of
the period of Ur this lamentation is divided into a series of _kisubs_ or
songs, here of unusually great length. The third song ends at Obv. III 38;
