This short article analyzes the Sumerian expression lugal-(l)a-ni-še3-am3, “it is (the loss/responsibility) of his owner alone”, that occurs only in school documentation of the Old Babylonian period. In particular, this formula is used in two model contracts in order to establish the responsibility of a slave owner for the permanent absence of his slave—given as a pledge, or as a hired worker—whether due to flight, death, or disappearance, and for the temporary loss of service, due to work stoppage or illness.

Abstract
This short article analyzes the Sumerian expression lugal-(l)a-ni-še3-am3, “it is (the loss/responsibility) of his owner alone”, that occurs only in school documentation of the Old Babylonian period. In particular, this formula is used in two model contracts in order to establish the responsibility of a slave owner for the permanent absence of his slave—given as a pledge, or as a hired worker—whether due to flight, death, or disappearance, and for the temporary loss of service, due to work stoppage or illness.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
