Kudurru, Babylonian, 978-934 BC. It records a legal settle- ment of the title to an estate near the city of Sha-mamitu, ancient Mesopotamia. Nineteen divine symbols protect the document, with a snake on the right. Nabumukin-apli, king of Babylon, and Arad Sibitti and his sister, to whom the property had belonged, are mentioned in the document.
The estate passed through marriage to the family of Burusha, the jewel-worker, but the claim to the land was contested. Burusha's family then paid 887 shekels of silver
and secured ownership of the land. ANE 90835
