The tablet to the right (CBS 16106) contains on the top surface the impression of a diorite brick stamp said, in the neo-Assyrian inscription on the reverse surface, to have been found by a scribe in Naram-Sin’s palace in Agade, the capital of the Old Akkadian empire (ca. 2300 and 700 BC, respectively). The lower image offers a mirrored representation of the original stamp, in the orientation in which it would have been read in lines from top to bottom, and from right to left (click image to be directed to the text’s corresponding CDLI page).
