Abstract
Of texts linking (the incantations for) diseases and symptoms with time, the earliest exemplar is a Neo-Assyrian copy from.uzirina (STT 300). The rest are Late Babylonian copies from Uruk (BRM IV 19 and 20, SpTU V 243), Babylon (LBAT 1626) and an unidentified Babylonian site (CBS 562). BM 39279*, a Late Babylonian fragment from Babylon, is such a text. Two groups, differing in the number and combination of the selected elements, can be identified from the structure of the entries.
