Abstract:
Mesopotamia was considered well - known one of the most civilization in the ancient Near Eastern Region especially in its oldness and originality. It witnessed many achievements in different fields, which extended its impact regional and interregional.One of the most important achievements was cuneiform writing that appeared as a result of need to inscribe and register the commercial affairs, which could be considered as an important factor that reflect the requirements in Mesopotamian civilization.cuneiform texts are the most important sources, which played a prominent role in the identification of political, economic and religious conditions as well as related activities in Mesopotamia. It contains a wealth of information that signs the civilization and its knowledge in all aspects after the writing became the main way to keep the science and knowledge of the humanity.Regarding the significance of writing especially cuneiform ,like other researchers, I decided to specialize in this field, especially in the discipline related to the ancient Babylonian period.After the collapse of the Empire “The Third Dynasty of Ur ”, many changes were happened and this included different aspects of life. The most prominent event was the political division of Mesopotamia into several states that were competing with each other. The situation continue on in this way until „Hammurabi‟ the king of Babylon was able to control the whole region and achieved a political union.According to this issue my research project depends on choosing a collection of confiscated tablets in the Iraqi museum, unfortunately some of them were damaged, their signs weren't clear and others were incomplete. In addition to, its location is still unknown because it did not come through archaeological excavations but from illegal digging or looting, that caused particular loss of the tablets. This caused difficulties to interpret the texts that lost their contexts. ( A ) The research is divided into four chapters. Chapter one was divided into three sections. Section one contains a brief historical introduction about the Old Babylonian period, While the second section includes the city of Larsa in a brief study on the nomination of the city , its location and the history of excavations and the city's history, for a number of reasons, including, the fact that most of the historical date formula of the texts contained Find back to the kings of Larsa, and the other reason they are considered one of the important cities that have emerged and grown strength during the Old Babylonian period and annexed the many of cities and City - States that have become affiliated administratively and politically, The third section included the city is a city Kisurra (Tel Abu Hattab), as we can through Study historical Date formula and analysis, to determine the ownership of the texts into this city, we have reviewed the city in a brief study on the nomination of the city, its location , date of the excavations and the kings and the most important achievements.Chapter two was divided into two sections, the first section we reviewed the contents of the texts that we have studied in this research. The second section includes reading, translating and analyzing the cuneiform texts after being divided into groups according to their subjects. The third chapter was divided into three sections, the first section includes reading, translating and analyzing of historical Date formula contained in most of the cuneiform texts. The second section ,we deal with the study of the meanings of the personal names mentioned of t in this research. The third section included historical study of personality (Šamaš é - a). Among the texts which mention the name of this personal.

Section tow deals with the indexes, which were as follows : the proper names, names of gods, professions, and months, while the third section included clones cuneiform texts and images, and finally a list of Arab and foreign references in this research.Eventually, I hope I have been Successful in doing my work
