Erogenous Bosch or whatever his name is

That’s the one who got really turned on by nearly everything. I think the artist was Heterogenous Bosch.

That’s the one who was composed of many different organs, none of them alike. You’re thinking of Endogenous Bosch

That’s the one whose artistic process took place wholly within his body. I think you meant Androgynous Bosch.

That’s the one of indeterminate sex. I think you meant Cacophonous Bosch.

No, that’s the noisy one. You were probably thinking of Euphonious Bosch.

That’s the brass instrumentalist. You’re thinking of Hierophanius Bosch.

No, that’s the one that’s a physical manifestation of the diveine, you’re thinking of Eponymous Bosch.

That’s the one who named all his paintings after himself. I think you mean Anonymous Bosch.

No one knows who that one is.

New Ea-nāṣir lore just dropped and I don’t know how to feel about that. I hate the meme but the guy having thugs coming after him for bad copper sales is perfect.

Wait wait WAIT

As someone who hard agrees with all your tags re: tired of the meem

BUT who is also invested in antiquities

Is it possible for you to drop the new lore

So the building in Ur where the infamous tablet was found (1 “Old Street” Ur Excavations VII) was actually full of similar tablets, all detailing how badly this guy’s deals went. All of these tablets were collected and put into storage at the British Museum. Typically this kind of thing gets forgotten about, many of these tablets have been sitting there for a century, untranslated or partially translated.

The Nu Tabletum

This was recently partially translated and it’s incredibly fragmentary, but it’s a letter from the man himself reassuring a customer in Larsa about a bad shipment (a lot of goods were missing). He is upset that the customer sent thugs to collect (which is located in a different tablet). In turn, he sends his own to the customer’s home. They are to make offerings at the temple of Šamaš together to symbolically “smooth things over”. They are taking an oath.

He later goes on to blame the customer for the missing ingots. He (Ea-nāṣir) decided to employ a third party to deliver said ingots to the customer (all the way in the next city-state in the Sumerian cultural sphere). It seems like the third party either stole or got into a fight with the customer over the goods.

Ea-nāṣir now has to haul his ass to Larsa to deal with this personally. There’s a lot of “Why don’t you believe me?” “They don’t listen to me!” “Please don’t send-” going on in the tablet. But from what I can gather it looks like this peace offering (making an oath at the temple of Šamaš) broke down too. Everyone is blaming each other for the missing copper ingots and now the man himself has to take the three-day journey to sort out this issue.

We have a name for one of the thugs: Mr. Shorty (kurûm). He seems to be a bit scary.

The man from Dilmun got kicked out of the Merchant’s Guild for a reason, he’s had this problem before with copper shipments from Elam. Either he’s the world’s worst judge of character or he’s embezzling, and badly. This is his side hustle stage where he’s selling everything from used clothing to speculating (badly) on real estate. He may have dabbled in money lending too. He’s your classic failed finance bro.
