I finally finished translating Hammurabi’s laws today, all 282 of the bastards (sorry, I am a little sick of šumma awīlum….).

Congratulations, Peter! Quite an accomplishment! I might read the flood story along with you. I’ve been reading various Akkadian texts to stay sharp and have not gotten to Gilgamesh XI yet.
