Excerpt from An Assyrian Doomsday Book, or Liber Censualis of the District Round Harran; In the Seventh Century B. C: Copied From the Cuneiform Tablets in the British Museum
The study of these fragments has resulted in the making of many joins, so that out of 43 fragments as originally numbered, there are now only 22 separate pieces. The addition of one or two more connecting links would probably lead to slight further reduction. I believe they really represent only 16 different tablets. I need not say, that I take no credit for the many joins made, before I copied these tablets, andi dare say I have missed some that I ought to have seen.
While so much may be added, any day, to what is here, it will be sufficient to make these as clear as possible, pointing out the difficulties and lacunae, rather than trying to exhaust all possibilities of suggestion. The names, personal and local, the class of property registered, and the type of document are the chief points of interest.
