Ninmaḫ and Her Imperfect Creatures: The Bed Wetting Man and Remedies to Cure Enuresis (STT 238)

In this article I present an edition of a Neo-Assyrian tablet from Sultantepe two recipes to cure a man who wets his bed. The first recipe comprises a ritual, the second only a potion; both are followed by an invocation to the goddess Ninmah. Through the analysis of parallel texts (BAM 115; STT 239 and VAT 13682), I discuss the diagnostic (), and the two recipes, focusing on the ritual.
