Meet the worst businessman of the 18th century BC:
Drawing of the main room of the archives at Ebla, Syria, for the conservation of cuneiform tablets.Eblaite civilization, III millennium BC. Ea-Nasir may have had a similar archive set-up in his house at Ur.
Based on more than a dozen surviving tablets squirreled away in his own house, archaeologists have discovered that Ea-Nasir was a big-shot copper trader, dealing mostly in wholesale ingots, but also in the finished metal products and, on occasion, textiles and foodstuffs. Presumably a little while later, Arbituram gets restless and writes to Ea-Nasir,"Why have you not given the copper to Nigga-Nanna? Ili-idinnam says 'The copper that Nigga-Nanna has received is mine!' Be kind enough to give the copper, as much as he has a claim on you, to Nigga-Nanna."
Now, when you had come, you spoke saying thus: 'I will give good ingots to Gimil-Sin'; this you said to me when you had come, but you have not done it. You have offered bad ingots to my messenger, saying 'If you will take it, take it; if you will not take it, go away.'and that between gentlemen such as we are. I have written to you to receive my money, but you have neglected [to return] it.
