Recipe Details
Evidence
"the scribe on the back is writing on a flexible medium with ink using the Aramaic alphabet."
Remarks
Neo-Assyrian reliefs (e.g., from the palace of Tiglath-pileser III or Sennacherib) depict two scribes working together: one writing cuneiform on a clay tablet or wooden polyptych, and another writing with ink on a flexible medium (likely leather or papyrus) in Aramaic (p. 17).
