Abstract
Two passages of the Plague Prayers of Muršili II mention the (LÚ)šiuniyant- along to other cult officials. He is believed to be an ecstatic, a prophet, or an ecstatic prophet. However, the contexts do not confirm these interpretations. The literal meaning of the word (LÚ)šiuniyant- is “man of/belonging to the god.” Hence, this term can be related to šiunan/DINGIRMEŠ antuḫšeš- which refers to the religious personnel.File allegati a questo prodotto
