Šamaš-hazir was the manager of the royal domain of Hammu-rabi, king of Babylon (1792-1750 BC), in southern Mesopotamia. Harvest registers and yield tables found in his archives take the form of tabular accounts in which an estimated yield rate is expressed by a number called šukunnûm. Although the šukunnûm-number is used to keep accounts of barley yield rates, it is never associated with a specific unit of measurement. In order to define the elaboration and the nature of the šukunnûm-number, this article will analyse its relation to surface and capacity units and its function in crop measurements.

用 šukunnûm 数测量农作物

Šamaš-hazir 是美索不达米亚南部巴比伦国王（公元前 1792-1750 年）哈姆拉比王室的管理者。在他的档案中发现的收成登记表和产量表采用表格形式，其中估计的产量率用一个叫做šukunnûm的数字表示。尽管šukunnûm数字用于记录大麦产量，但它从未与特定的测量单位相关联。为了定义šukunnûm 数的详细说明和性质，本文将分析它与表面和容量单位的关系及其在作物测量中的作用。
