Endnote 3 – The Raw Material
Giovanni Pettinato, “L’Atlante Geografico del Vicino Oriente Antico attestato ad Ebla e ad Abu Salabikh (I),” Orientalia 47/1 (1978) 50–73. 2136 is a commercial tablet and not a list as such. Only 18 of the 78 cities in this tablet constitute an actual list and may, in fact, be a merchant’s itinerary.
