Abstract

A new Old Assyrian incantation against the evil eye (ēnum lamuttum) is published here, adding to the steadily increasing number of such texts. Parallels to Old Babylonian examples are provided, and in the context of a discussion of the religious life and practice of the Old Assyrian merchants, other new texts from Kültepe with previously unattested gods and information concerning a private chapel are presented.
