This is placed first in the Hetiha collection,though it is not strictly part
of the Hetiha
sequence. It is a charter of the great king Zubiba (whose life is also
extent, but which I have not posted, as it runs some 60 pages) granting the
province of Hemanathe (Desertedge) to Wiviba. Hemanathe is later the scene of the
Hetiha
movement.
