šittu II

SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) [šumma muruṣ qablīšu u libbišu] maruṣma ... šit-ta-šú lā ukāl Sakikkû XII 124′ “[if he] suffers [from a disease of his hips and/or his belly] and ... he cannot hold his feces”. See also Sakikkû XVII 39 (56 in Heeßel 2000) (|| šit-ta-šú paṭrat “is loose”). The interpretation follows the commentary on Sakikkû XII 124′ in Wee 2019, 226: 16 even though the reading rit-ta-šú “his hand/wrist” (see also Heeßel 2000, 200) cannot be fully exluded. ^new
