Abstract :
This article discusses the interpretation of Atra-ḫasīs III iii 13-14 and the corresponding passage in Gilg. XI 112-113 (both occurring at the conclusion of the Flood narrative) and proposes a new translation of these lines as 'Brother did not look after his brother, / nor did they recognize each other in the turmoil'.
