The nadītu Sometimes Borrows Silver Twice

This paper examines two cuneiform tablets from the British Museum’s Collection, one of which is presented here for the first time. These documents belong to the category of Old Babylonian temple loans, where deities directly provide loans to debtors. Originating from the city of Sippar, in Northern Babylonia, a notable aspect of these transactions is the borrower’s acquisition of silver loans from two distinct deities—Šamaš and Sîn—on the very same day.
