Delighted to announce that thanks to the efforts of @yennits my English translation of the #Sumerian debate with the wonderfully evocative title "Two Women B" is now fully lemmatized, making comparison of the Sumerian & English text easier than ever🧐 @opencuneiform @Oracctivity

⚠️ New #Oracc project alert ⚠️ BabCity: Corpus of Babylonian Texts Concerning the Urban Landscape While the site continues to expand, here’s a quick taste of what you can expect from this brand new project: oracc.museum.upenn.edu/babci…

📣 New on Oracc! BabCity: Corpus of Babylonian Texts Concerning the Urban Landscape Editions of archival records about urban properties from 1st mill BC Babylon, Borsippa, Kutha, Sippar & Uruk so far By Prof Heather D Baker @Apkallatu & team @UofT 👏👏 oracc.org/babcity/

A year after the publication of my book, good news for non-readers of German: My English translation of the #Sumerian debate "Two Women B" is now available on @opencuneiform 👉 oracc.museum.upenn.edu/dsst/… Go browse the corpus, the texts *are* more exciting than their modern titles!

I took a page out of @Eleanor_Robson's playbook and made an Oracc page for the class (build-oracc.museum.upenn.edu…), and in lieu of an exam the students have to edit 500 lines of some good ol' OB letters that will soon be part of a new @opencuneiform project. #cuneitwitter
