A reevaluation of the use of zbn and yhb in Elephantine
Abstract: The legal terminology of the Aramaic papyri from Elephantine has been studied mostly from an Assyriological perspective. This article takes a fresh look at the function, origins of two legal terms (!bz and bhy) used in Elephantine taking also into consideration the Egyptian evidence. We trace their origin within ancient Near Eastern legal traditions paying especial attention to the way the Egyptian formulaic tradition might have influenced the Aramaic use of those terms.
