Text

The abbreviation refers to a corpus edited by Dietrich, Loretz and Sanmartín, with several editions; CAT also denotes the second edition.[1] The same text can have an excavation number: KTU1.114 corresponds to RS24.258 in the chapter consulted.[2] 1.114 is not the year of composition, and a reference cannot replace checking readings and translations.
