isḫu II

SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) i-⸢si-iḫ⸣ ⸢nūnu⸣ apsî RINBE 1/1, 207 ii 1 “an allocation of fish of the deep sea”. In list of offerings. RINBE 1/1, 207 translates differently “string(s) of fish” (following CAD I/J 318 izḫu, most refs. stem from Nebukadnezar as is the context of the present attestation). However, the term isḫu refers in this context most likely to a kind of unspecified “choice” of fish and other animals, an assortment of products (mostly fish and birds) and not “strings.”
