Well, me either..I was looking at another article about the Persepholis plates. (They buried them at the foundations of temples) and one of the footnotes lead me to this. The British Museum sure grabbed a lot of antiquities. Ancient libraries and writing is an interest but paging through the Journal of Cuneiform Studies I realize that this is indeed an esoteric field of study.
Thank you sooo very much -- never heard of Sippar -- truly magnificent.
