Endnote 2 – The Raw Material

“Gli Archivi Reali Di Tell Mardikh-Ebla Refflessioni E Prospettivi,” See G. Pettinato, Rivista Biblica (Italian) 25 (July–Sept. 1977) 238–242; G. Garbini, “La Lingua di Ebla,” La Parola del Passato, fasc. 181 (1978) 241–259, esp. pp. 255ff. Pettinato believes the text is a copy of an actual letter. Garbini believes the document only gives record of a letter having been sent and which contains a summary of the letter’s actual contents.
