ABSTRACT
The administrative documents from Ebla reveal an intense circulation of goods that were issued by the central administration of the Eblaite state. The annual accounts of metals and the monthly accounts of textiles, which were kept in the central archive of Royal Palace, attest to frequent disbursements of metal objects and cloths or garments. Goods from the central administration of Ebla were frequently delivered in the town of Adani, an important cultic centre of the Eblaite region, probably to be identified with the Atanni that is found in texts from Alalakh. Daraum is frequently mentioned in association with members of the royal family and the vizier Ibrium. The term u-ba4-ti is also frequently found in connection with the town of Azam/n. The presence of the sons and daughters of the king of Ebla in this centre, which was probably situated to the north-west of Ebla is recorded in several documents.
