Abstract

Both Ĝirsu tablets DP 655 and VS 14, 100 (= AWL 001) deal with the same dikes to be built or repaired and, as argued in this study, refer to the same total length. It is therefore possible to improve our understanding of the tablet VS 14, 100, which seems to show an aberrant mathematical notation that does not correspond to the standard length measures in other pre-Sargonic texts.
