I feel like Ea-nasir was probably a fictional character? like it was some 17th century BCE scribal school exercise to write a letter to a merchant about his copper being bad, and that’s why there were so many texts all complaining about the same guy’s shitty copper. I mostly think this because many of the other ancient mesopotamian texts we have appear to be part of a scribal curriculum called the Decad, and they are apparently also found in large volumes together. but admittedly i don’t have any more defensible reasons to believe this, it’s just a hunch
So he’s like Cousin Throckmorton?
