Other

a2... bestimmt fällt der tief ... (Schmidt 1974: 105)
b4+If you now give up all, [your] lands, villages, women, sons, queen, nay, [and your] countless possessions, [your] district kings and likewise [your] ministers, then you will now go, lead by your own deeds, to the other world. (cf : ii, 68–69) (Peyrot 2013b: 671)
b6+[Just] as when the animals are dwelling together, the night will grow light, but, when (the animals) are dwelling apart, in an instant the wind scatters them, so pay attention to your relatives! As long as you will be friendly …, [but] as soon as life leaves your body, they will all be alien to you. (cf : ii, 69; 23–24) (Peyrot 2013b: 673)

Commentary

Parallel texts

*THT 46

Philological commentary

*Contains fragments of strophes 27-35.
n1According to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 85 fn. 6 ṣw should be corrected to pw in the transcription.
n2According to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 85 fn. 7 nayä should be corrected to nayä in the transcription because of metrical reasons.
n3According to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 85 fn. 8 ·auṣūwaṃts should be corrected to ·aupūwaṃts in the transcription.

Remarks
