Kettledrums in ancient Mesopotamia: Three lexicographical studies and the edition of a new Seleucid ritual text about the lilissu Sánchez Muñoz, Daniel Lengua acadia Epigrafía cuneiforme Asiriología Arqueomusicología Timbales Organología This paper is organized as a group of four brief studies of the Mesopotamian lilissu-kettledrum. The first three of them discuss little-explored expressions about its accessories or physical aspect: lit lilissi («stool of the lilissu»), (urudu)šen-ḫur-saĝ-ĝa2 (a Sumerian trans-ation of lilissu), and Ab-gal-gungunu (Ab2-gal-gun3-gun3-nu «Large, Multicolored Cow»), the proper name of a lilissu. The fourth note is an edition of BM 32979, a previously unpublished Seleucid cuneiform fragment that describes a procession involving a lilissu passing by some gates of the Esaĝil temple in Babylon. 2026-01-18T10:11:05Z 2026-01-18T10:11:05Z 2026-01-18T10:11:05Z 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Akkadica, 2023, vol. 144, n. 2, p. 151-169 0772-1331 https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/81736 https://doi.org/10.21825/akkadica.99692 151 144 169 Kettledrums in ancient Mesopotamia: Three lexicographical studies and the edition of a new Seleucid ritual text about the lilissu 2 eng https://akkadica.ugent.be/article/id/99692/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Fondation Assyriologique / Assyriologische Stichting Georges Dossin.
