- Title
A Medico-Magical Text from the Otago Tablets, Dunedin New Zealand.

Zilberg, Peter; Horowitz, Wayne
- Abstract
Published here for the first time is the jewel of the cuneiform tablet collection of the Otago Museum in Dunedin, New Zealand. This tablet, E2014.62 preserves a rather unique exemplar of the medico-magical corpus. The obverse gives prescriptions against Lamaštu while the reverse preserves what seem to be a related ritual and accompanying incantations. The very bottom of the reverse provides a drawing of a human-type figure with a goat-like head, which we tentatively identify with 'an oath with the feet of a goat'.
