Quoted text:
A Babylonian hymn to Shamash called on him to punish:
- “the merchant [damgar] who (practices) trickery as he holds the balances,
- who uses two sets of weights…
- The merchant who practices trickery as he holds the corn measure,
- who weighs out loans (or corn) by the minimum standard, but requires a larger quantity in repayment.” (Lambert 1967: p. 133)
What text is referred to by “Lambert 1967”? We haven’t encountered this in any of the book’s chapters’ Bibliographies. (There are Maurice Lambert texts with other years cited in other chapters; see the full book Bibliography for these candidates in case the year here was wrong or it was another edition of one of those texts.)
