Hurrian Personal Names in the Rimah Archives

This study collects, under section II, the Hurrian personal names preserved in the Old Babylonian tablets uncovered at Tell al-Rimah. A smaller list ( Pi,1) gives names which cannot be analyzed by the author. The third section (III) presents a list of Hurrian elements involved in making up the names. While it is stressed that names of Hurrian coinage do not necessarily reflect Hurrian ethnicity, an introduction: gives statistics on the names of Hurrian derivation; 2. discusses the stratification of Hurrians within Rimah’s society and 3. speaks to the ethnic’ concentration of Hurrians during the various phases of Old Babylonian Rimah.
