Description: This tablet contains a long list of different designations for swine. It is part of the corpus of early lexical texts from Uruk. In contrast to many other similar lists that were copied for almost the entire 3rd millennium this text was not standardised in the stream of tradition. (Klaus Wagensonner, University of Oxford)
