The earliest published treaty document from Mesopotamia, to my knowledge, is a treaty between the city of Shadlash and the city of Neribtum, dated to the beginning of the Old Babylonian dynasty, published and translated by S. Greengus in Old Babylonian Tablets from Ischchali and Vicinity, 1979 (hereafter, Greengus). In what follows I present a further reading of the tablet with critical notes and a detailed discussion of its contents, in order to attract more attention to this laconic, difficult (because of its incomplete context), and interesting text. Unlike later treaties between two kings, this treaty was made between two cities, although the rulers of the cities are also mentioned in the treaty.展开更多
