Summary/Abstract: The Middle Assyrian Laws (MAL) are a collection of laws dating back to the 12th century BCE, which was found in Assur, the present-day Qal'at Sherqat in Iraqi Kurdistan. The present paper contains the second part of the Polish translation and a commentary on the MAL, encompassing the tablets from B to O. These tablets cover a wide range of topics: laws on inheritance, property, theft, labor, and slander. Tablet B is particularly significant for understanding land ownership in the Middle Assyrian society, detailing laws about inheritance, purchase procedures, property boundaries, and irrigation.
