- Cuneiform researchers and curious readers of ancient texts
- Worth noticing
- The example cites SAA 5 (1990), ORACC, and CC BY-SA 3.0, and links to the British Museum image and tablet record.
Field notes
The example is identified as SAA 05 241, dated 721–705 BCE, and follows the tablet across its front and back. Readers can inspect a six-sign segment, compare its transliteration with the published line, and open the English letter in labeled sections such as “The greeting” and “The visitor’s request.” The page credits the edition and image separately, making the source trail visible alongside the reading.
