OBOB: Old Babylonian (ca. 2000–1600 BCE) 1 bīt pilaqqī 1 giška-da-bi-bu u unūt qê šuklultum YOS 13, 91: 21 “1 box of spindles, 1 k. and (a) complete (set of) tools for thread(-work)”. Part of a dowry, see the edition in Dalley 1980, 64.

OBOB: Old Babylonian (ca. 2000–1600 BCE) 1 giš⸢ka*-da⸣-bi-⸢bu⸣ RSM, 15: 11 ARCHIBAB “1 k. (among other wooden household items)”. Part of a dowry, see the edition in Dalley 1980, 67.

Discussion

In SAD D read gišKA da-bi-bu and tentatively connected with dābibu “gossipy”, but the writing would be odd. The reading ⸢um-da⸣-bi-⸢bu⸣ given in RSM, Archibab and CDLI is most likely incorrect, as the undamaged ref. in YOS 13, 91 suggests.
