A love dialogue (Nineveh) — K.7817, excluded: the composition stands edited with translation in Da Riva & Wasserman, Gods in Love (2025), pp. 168–177, credited in full on this page.
Excluded. A complete published edition and translation stands. The composition was edited with translation by Rocío Da Riva and Nathan Wasserman, Gods in Love: A Critical Edition and Analysis of the “Divine Love Lyrics” (Brill, Cuneiform Monographs 57, 2025), pp. 168–177. K.7817 is recorded here as a witness to an edited composition, with Da Riva & Wasserman’s edition as the reference of record; SEAL (Sources of Early Akkadian Literature, Hebrew University of Jerusalem) also serves a transliteration of the text. The program’s rendering is therefore not published as a translation.
