Imperial Administrative Records, Part II — State Archives of Assyria 11

State Archives of Assyria 11 — Lists, Musters, and Accounts of the Assyrian Provinces and Army

State Archives of Assyria 11 is the second of two companion volumes assembling the Neo-Assyrian administrative archives excavated on the citadel mound at Nineveh (Kuyunjik) — the first being SAA 7 — and edited by F. Mario Fales and J. Nicholas Postgate in 1995. Where SAA 7 gathers the central military and household administration, this volume's 234 tablets and fragments concern the government of the Assyrian provinces: taxation, building works, the supply of animals and commodities, and the manpower — soldiers, deportees, and the people counted in provincial land registers — that provincial administration required. All but four of the tablets come from Kuyunjik itself, first published in 1901 by C. H. W. Johns; the remaining four, clay sealings excavated at Khorsabad, are held today in Paris. Few tablets carry an explicit date; where SAAo records one, it points mostly to the reign of Sargon II (721–705 BC), with a handful of others ranging from Tiglath-pileser III in the mid-eighth century to Ashurbanipal in the later seventh.

Fales and Postgate arranged the volume in ten chapters, edited here in the same order and by the same text numbers: geographical lists of the empire's provinces and cities; building texts, chiefly connected with Sargon II's new capital at Dur-Šarruken; miscellaneous commodities and services; sealed clay dockets ("sealings"); domestic animals; horses; military personnel; deportees and displaced persons; the well-known "Harran Census" — a distinct dossier of family and property registers from the district around Harran, first recognized as a group by Johns himself in 1901; and further schedules of land and people. These are working records, not literature: lists of names, places, animals, and quantities, terse even by the standards of Assyrian administrative writing, and many are damaged exactly where a total, a name, or a place-name would otherwise stand.

The English below is SAAo's own published translation, reproduced complete and verbatim as continuous reading prose; nothing has been added, paraphrased, or supplied by this library. Brackets, ellipses, and parenthetical markers such as "(?)" and "(!)" are SAAo's own, recording damaged, restored, or uncertain cuneiform. 280 lines across 109 of the 234 texts are too damaged for SAAo itself to have published a translation, and each such gap is marked in place — by SAAo's own words where SAAo records one ("blank," "rest destroyed," "beginning broken away"), otherwise disclosed plainly — rather than filled.

Source and license. This edition reproduces the English translation of the State Archives of Assyria online (SAAo, oracc.museum.upenn.edu/saao/saa11/), the digital edition of F. Mario Fales and J. Nicholas Postgate, Imperial Administrative Records, Part II: Provincial and Military Administration (State Archives of Assyria 11; Helsinki University Press, 1995), lemmatised by Mikko Luukko (2017) as part of the research programme of the Alexander von Humboldt Chair in the Ancient History of the Near and Middle East at LMU Munich (Karen Radner, Humboldt Professorship 2015), fetched 2026-08-08. SAAo's own per-text credit line states the annotated edition is "released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license 3.0"; the project's own machine-readable catalogue and metadata files carry the further, separate statement "This data is released under the CC0 license" (https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). Both statements are recorded here; this edition credits SAAo, F. Mario Fales, J. Nicholas Postgate, and Mikko Luukko regardless of which license term governs a given file, per academic courtesy and the Good Work Library's own attribution practice.

What this edition is. The English text above is SAAo's own published translation of all 234 catalogue entries edited in Fales and Postgate's Imperial Administrative Records, Part II, reproduced complete and verbatim from the project's HTML reading editions and reformatted from an interlinear line-by-line display into continuous reading prose. The ten-chapter division follows the print edition's own chapters exactly, and each tablet's obverse, reverse, edges, and columns are marked where the source itself marks them. No word has been altered, paraphrased, or supplied by this library. Brackets, ellipses, and parenthetical markers such as "(?)," "(!)," and italicized variant readings are SAAo's own, recording damaged, restored, or uncertain cuneiform. 280 lines across 109 of the 234 texts are too damaged for SAAo itself to have published a translation; each such gap is marked in place rather than filled. A substantial number of standalone editorial notes in this volume's pagers — describing a line or section as blank, broken away, uninscribed, erased, or otherwise physically absent — are recorded by SAAo in a separate descriptive field rather than inside the translation itself; those notes (239 of them) are reproduced here, in parentheses, at the point in the text where SAAo places them, using SAAo's own wording. One tablet, SAA 11 104, is served by SAAo only as a transliteration with an inline translation block rather than as an interlinear reading edition; its translation is reproduced here from that block by the same verbatim standard, including a run of text that continues, mid-sentence, onto a second line of that block.

Composite identification. Each tablet above is given by its SAA 11 catalogue number, its museum or excavation registration where recorded (British Museum "K" or "Rm" numbers for the great majority; National Museum of Iraq "IM" numbers for six pieces; Louvre or Bibliothèque Nationale registrations for four sealings excavated at Khorsabad), its citation in the earlier Assyriological literature — chiefly C. H. W. Johns' Assyrian Deeds and Documents (cited by SAAo as "ADD") and Assyrian Doomsday Book ("ADB"), and occasionally Cuneiform Texts volume 53 or Harper's Assyrian and Babylonian Letters ("ABL") — where SAAo notes one, and its SAAo text ID (a CDLI P-number), under which the full transliteration and morphological analysis can be studied further at SAAo's own site.
