(d) No. 220. A letter with an extended greetings formula characteristic of the late Old Babylonian period.
(e) No. 221. A letter with the physical characteristics and distinctive script of a document from the period of the first Sealand dynasty, no doubt part of the archive published by S. Dalley in CUSAS 9 (2009).
