About this Gig
Please contact me before placing an order! The prices shown are indicative only. A custom offer is created for each order.
I will determine the type of object and text and, if wished for, provide a professional transliteration and translation of your cuneiform text. I possess reading skills in Archaic/Proto-cuneiform, Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Elamite, Hittite and Ugaritic. Cuneiform texts that I would translate could be cylinder seal inscriptions, brick inscriptions, and clay tablets dating from between 3200 and 100 BCE.
I have studied for over 10 years at a German university and am currently completing my doctorate in the History of Knowledge in the Ancient Near East, which makes me one of the few hundred experts in this field worldwide.
Cuneiform artefacts fall under the UNESCO 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. This means that you must provide clear proof of origin for cuneiform objects that you want to have translated.

FAQ
Are there any legal aspects that I should be aware of?
Yes, cuneiform artefacts fall under the UNESCO 1970 Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. This means that you must provide clear proof of origin for cuneiform objects that you want to have translated.
What is the difference between translation and transliteration?
A translation makes the meaning of a text in one language understandable in another language, while a transliteration uses a different writing system to represent words using the same language.
Is there any difference between cuneiform signs from different places and periods?
Yes, the form of cuneiform signs, the orthography, changed over time while the system stayed the same. Cuneiform signs from the 3rd and 2nd millennium BCE are generally much more elaborate than those from the 1st millennium BCE, while the latter look much more stylised than the former.
