TCL 15, 1 (AO 3024) is the only known manuscript of a Sumerian lament on the temples of Sud, the city-goddess of Šuruppak. Despite its excellent state of preservation, the text has received almost no attention since the (long outdated) edition of Witzel (1935). This article makes a fresh attempt to interpret the text, in light of recently discovered sources on the cults of Sud in the early Old
Babylonian period.
