3Metal shavings

NANA: Neo Assyrian (ca. 1000–600 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) (2 shekels of gold) issu libbi gi-za-a-ti ana kirkī ša tamlīt ša urki ša-ku?-ri ? CTN 2, 145: 2 “out of the shavings, for rolls for the inlay of the back of the šukurru -emblem(?)”. See Postgate ib. new

NANA: Neo Assyrian (ca. 1000–600 BCE) (we have not yet received the rest of the gold from PN) gi-zu-tú ša issu pan mār [PN] 1 MA issu libbi usaḫḫir SAA 1, 52 r. 5 SAAo “he has returned one mina of the shaving(s) from the son of [PN]”. Pace SAA 1 and AHw., where this text is cited as ABL 1458, the context of the letter suggests metal shavings rather than wool yield.

NANA: Neo Assyrian (ca. 1000–600 BCE) — new attestation (not in AHw/CAD) (3 minas of pappardilû -stone) gi-zu-tú ina libbima kaṣip SAA 7, 79 r. 11 SAAo “shaving(s) included with it”. Based on the context of the record, probably also referring to gold shavings. new
