Abstract

In my chapter " Verba volant scripta non manent " published in the Amurru 3 volume featuring the contributions to the 46th Rencontre Assyriologique, already sixteen years ago, I had mentioned the presence of a number of texts with Marduk-mušallim abi erén as the central figure, as if he had deposited a (small) part of his archive in the archives of the kalamaḫḫū. It turns out that many of the texts that we would attribute to other archives, as they mention as actors people other than the kalamaḫḫū, were kept in this archive. My contribution will present these people and the genres of the texts constituting foreign bodies and attempt to identify their motivations.
