radiantfractureThis was the best of the gingerbread cuneiform. I put the good ones in the freezer to give to pals tomorrow at brunch and will eat the rest, or something. This is one of the maple syrup tables, which were lighter in colour and held the clarity slightly better. (More water, therefore harder texture? Not sure.)
I copied characters from Andrew George's excellent renderings of the tablets, as any photos I looked at were way too unclear. However, I freely skipped tricky characters or sections. Sîn-lēqi-unninni would be pissed.
ETA: Oh, I believe this text is taken from a fragment of the third tablet.

Date: 2025-12-18 05:49 am (UTC)My best guess is that it is from somewhere about the exhortation to Enkidu before he and Gilgamesh leave for the Cedar Forest: "A bed shall be laid out for you, a place of rest,/while the gods, your brothers, serve you delightful food/and Aya wipe your brow with a friend of her dress" (III.97 - 99). But that is a wiiild guess.
