A New Edition of Adad-nērārī I’s inscription A.0.76.5
Vestnik Drevnei Istorii. 2025. Vol. 85. No. 3. P. 537–549.
The article offers a new treatment of the inscription commissioned by the Assyrian king Adad-nērārī I (1295–1264 BC) and now widely known, thanks to A.K. Grayson’s 1987 edition, as A.0.76.5. The text comes from Qalʽat Širqāṭ / Aššur; in the early 1920s it was brought to Lvov, at that time a part of Poland, and entered the collection of the Oriental Institute of the Lvov University, where it was studied by J. Bromski, the author of its first edition (1926). During the Soviet period, in 1952, the inscription was transferred to the State Hermitage Museum in Leningrad. The text is inscribed on a large piece of limonite covering three sides of the stone. Unfortunately, a considerable part of the monument was lost, probably already in antiquity. The text consisted of a historical introduction describing Adad-nērārī I’s campaigns against Hanigalbat, a main part devoted to the building activities and infrastructure projects of the Assyrian king, including digging of wells, and a standard conclusion with blessings and curses.

The article examines Old Russian anthroponyms with the suffix -ec-, originally conveying the meaning ‘less than X’. A diachronic corpus study of
11th–17th-century texts reveals that while this suffix lacked inherent pejorative
connotations in Old Russian sources, contextual (adherent) pejoration is clearly
observable. For pre-15th-century chronicles, two primary usage patterns are
identified—1) characters with explicit negative evaluation, and 2) ...
