Plates for Adad-Guppi Inscription
I am working on an essay concerning an inscription about Nabonidus' mother Adad-Guppi. The inscription is on basalt found at Harran--the city that housed the moon-god Sin (of which Adad-Guppi was the priestess). Anyway, if anyone out there knows where I can find some readable plates of the cunieform I would appreciate it. I found an article in Anatolian Studies, but the plates were really sub-par and I will most probably go blind trying to read them. I have a transliteration, but I desire the cunieform. Thanks.

See Tremper Longman III, "Fictional Akkadian Autobiography" (Winona Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 1991), and Wm. W. Hallo, "The Context of Scripture, vol. 1 (Brill, 1991). The tablets are housed in Ankara and Urfa(?), from which new photographs might be obtained.
