Abstract
Ağırlık ölçülerinin aksine uzunluk ölçülerinin kaydedildiği
Kültepe metni çok azdır. Bu ölçü birimleri; daha ziyade kumaşların
boyutlarını, sadece birer metinde ise ağacın enini-boyunu ve sofranın
(paššuru) uzunluğunu ifade etmekte kullanılmıştır. 1988 yılı
kazılarında bulunan kısa bir tablette, Eski Asurca metinlerde daha
önce merdivenlerin uzunluğunu belirtmek üzere geçmeyen uzunluk
ölçülerinden ammatu ve merdivenlerin basamaklarının sayısını ifade
etmek üzere nakbisu kelimeleri kaydedilmiştir. Belgede merdivenin
büyük olacağı (6 metre) ve 15 ya da 16 basamağının bulunacağı ifade
edilmiştir.

"Hurātum Rabiātum" in the Kültepe Text

Abstract
Contrary to weight measures, texts from Kültepe that mention
linear measures are very few. Measures of length in the texts are
generally used to indicate the dimensions of textile, and once for the
length and width of a piece of timber or the length of a dining tray
(paššuru). The brief text published here was unearthed at Kültepe in
1988 and refers to ammatu, one of the linear measures, to describe the
length of a ladder and its nakbisu, to specify the number of the steps
on that ladder. In the text, it is stated that the ladder should be long
(about 6 meters) and have fifteen to sixteen steps.
