Yeni-Asur Kehanet Metni K.2401’de Geçen ṭuppi adê ša dAššur ifadesinin anlamı üzerine

Abstract

Yeni-Asur kehanet metni K.2401’de (=SAA 9 3) geçen ṭuppi adê ša dAššur ifadesi – son zamanlarda üretilen alternatif yorumlara rağmen – genel olarak kral ile Tanrı Aššur arasında gerçekleştirilen bir antlaşma olarak değerlendirilir. Söz konusu ifadenin bir kehanetin başlığı mı olduğu ayrı bir belgeyi mi kastettiği belirsizdir. Böyle bir durumda, metinde Asur kralı Esarhaddon adına antlaşmayı hazırladığı söylenen Tanrıça İštar’ın rolü de tartışılabilir. Bu çalışma, K.2401’de geçen ṭuppi adê ša dAššur ifadesine açıklık getirerek metindeki kehanetlerin daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmayı hedefliyor
