The paper is constructed around a short micro-historical portrait of a priestly family active in Uruk in the sixth century BCE. This introduces two interrelated issues that the paper will subsequently discuss with a view towards a contextualization of the family in question: the interaction between the Neo-Babylonian state and priests outside the capital city, and the drive towards inter-temple interaction and standardization of procedures based on the model of Esangila, the Marduk temple in the capital.

乌鲁克教士与新巴比伦国家

这篇论文是围绕公元前六世纪在乌鲁克（Uruk）活跃的一个牧师家庭的一幅简短的微观历史肖像而构建的。这引入了两个相互关联的问题，本文随后将讨论该问题，以期对所讨论的家庭进行语境化：新巴比伦国家与首都以外的牧师之间的互动，以及朝着跨寺庙互动和程序标准化的驱动力以首都马尔都克神庙埃桑吉拉（Esangila）的模型为基础。
