Despite a relative dearth of information in the surviving corpus about Assyrian priests’ more routine concerns, the Assyrian state correspondence contains some details that can improve our knowledge of priests’ daily lives, rights, and responsibilities. Using four case studies, this paper analyzes situations in which priests are accused of misconduct or crimes to better understand the powers and expectations of individual priestly offices as well as the realities of everyday life that might have rendered these boundaries more flexible or surmountable. These cases of irregularities reveal that cultic personnel had distinct economic, legal, and judicial roles and were sometimes able to extend their powers when necessary to manage issues such as crime and shortages in resources, only requesting royal intervention as a last resort.

新亚述时代的国王,神父和权力

尽管尚存的语料库中关于亚述神父较日常事务的信息相对较少,但亚述国家的书信中包含一些细节,可以改善我们对神父的日常生活,权利和责任的了解。本文使用四个案例研究,分析了司铎被指控行为不检或犯罪的情况,以便更好地了解司铎个人办公室的权力和期望,以及使这些界限更加灵活或可克服的日常生活现实。这些不合规定的情况表明,邪教人员具有独特的经济,法律和司法角色,有时能够在必要时扩展其权力,以处理诸如犯罪和资源短缺之类的问题,仅要求采取王室干预作为最后手段。
