The ninety-six Akkadian texts presented here in transliteration and translation are divided in five groups dealing with topics of historical interest: Nuzi and the political force responsible for its demise; the crimes and trials of a mayor of Nuzi; a multigenerational legal struggle over title to a substantial amount of land; the progressive enrichment of one family at the expense of another through a series of real estate transactions, and the nature of the ilku, a real estate tax whose dynamic is crucial in defining the economic and social structure of Nuzi as a whole. 410 0$aWritings from the ancient world ;$vno. 18. 606 $aAkkadian language$vTexts 606 $aHurrians$xSocial life and customs$vSources 606 $aLand titles$xRegistration and transfer$zIraq$zNuzi (Extinct city) 607 $aNuzi (Extinct city)$xEconomic conditions$vSources 615 0$aAkkadian language 615 0$aHurrians$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aLand titles$xRegistration and transfer 676 $a492/.1 700 $aMaidman$b M.
