Abbreviations of places of first publication

Cuneiform tablets are often published first as scale drawings (hand copies) with very limited scholarly apparatus such as edition, translation, and/or commentary. As many of the older volumes have been superseded by the editions presented here, they are likely to be of interest and value only to specialist Assyriological researchers.
