| Summary: | In 1986 Marc van de Mieroop published an enlightening article in JCS 38/1 on Turam-Ili, an Ur III merchant. Much of the material presented by him substantiates findings of the present writers research on Ur III loan documents from this period. This article considers both loans with and loans without interest in the Ur III period, and how these relate to loans from the bala system as presented by Van de Mieroop. Also considered are the sealing of documents and the person or persons by whom the document was sealed. Some minor corrections to Van de Mieroop's article are proposed, such as more attestations elsewhere of the name Turam-Ili, as well as the names of months, such as the month ezen-dSul-gi, which occur in the different calendars of this period. It is concluded that there are references elsewhere to a Turam-Ili who functioned in some or other capacity related to the temple administration. Cognisance is taken of the fact that other documents of the usin 3 to Ibbi-sin 3 period substantiates various details in the Turam-Ili archive and vice versa. |
