Institute for Advanced Study and t A. Sachs About 150 mathematical texts from Nippur are known, but most of them are tables for multiplication and division or simple related texts concerned with metrological problems. All these texts belong to the Old Babylonian period in the wider sense, including the Isin-Larsa and the early Cassite period. The new documents published below belong to the same class. In our discussion we use the same notation which we have explained in the introduction to our Mathematical Cuneiform Texts.' A. MATHEMATICAL TEXTS 2N-T 585 Tablet measuring about 2 in.
