摘要

Šamaš-hazir是位于美索不达米亚南部的巴比伦国王Hammu-rabi(公元前1792-1750年)的皇家领地的管理者。在他的档案中发现的收获登记簿和产量表采用表格形式，其中估计的产量率用一个名为šukunnûm的数字表示。虽然šukunnûm-number被用来记录大麦的产量，但它从来没有与一个特定的测量单位联系在一起。为了明确šukunnûm-number的含义和性质，本文将分析其与表面和容量单位的关系及其在作物测量中的作用。

Measuring crops with the šukunnûm-number

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 analyze its relation to surface and capacity units and its function in crop measurements.

期刊介绍： Historia Mathematica publishes historical scholarship on mathematics and its development in all cultures and time periods. In particular, the journal encourages informed studies on mathematicians and their work in historical context, on the histories of institutions and organizations supportive of the mathematical endeavor, on historiographical topics in the history of mathematics, and on the interrelations between mathematical ideas, science, and the broader culture.
