Asakkū marṣūtu
''Namtaru lemnu asakkū marṣūtu'', inscribed NAM.TAR ḪUL.GÁL Á.SÀG GIG.GA, is an ancient Mesopotamian medical treatise from the first millennium BC which concerns the “grievous ''asakku-''demons” and the diseases they cause.〔''asakku'' CAD A/2 p. 326.〕 Originally stretching to at least twelve tablets, it is only partially extant, with parts of around eight of the tablets from the Library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh and a copy of tablet 3 from the temple of Nabȗ in Nimrud, ancient Kalhu.〔 no. 102.〕 It is recorded, with a somewhat different gloss than one might have expected, in the Exorcists Manual: ''di-‘u'' GIG''-tu''4, ''di’u marṣūtu'', betraying its intended purpose in the combat of the demons and the cure of the ailment they were supposed to have caused, “fever sickness,” a grave disease characterized by a headache,〔''di’u'' CAD D, p. 165.〕 possibly malaria.
==The text==
The sickness that afflicts the patient is described ''asakku marṣu ina zumur amēli ittabši'', “the dangerous ''asakku''-demon has settled in the body of the man.” It invokes the metaphor of clothing: ''amēla muttallika kīma ṣubāti iktatam'', “he (asakku-demon ) enveloped the miserable man like a garment”; and that of a force of nature: ''asakku kīma mīli nāru isḫup'', “the asakku-demon overwhelmed () like the flood of a river.”
The text includes several ritual procedures for combating epidemic fevers and these often involve the manipulation of goats or their offspring. One example involves the placement of a kid on the head of the patient. Piglets (ŠAḪ.TUR.RA) are also sacrificed in pursuit of relief.
