The city and cloister of Sippar are well documented and serve as a microcosm of the lives of women, especially women priests, in the Old Babylonian period.[citation needed] The temple of Shamash was the most prominent building in Sippar. Women were just as active as men in the temple and cloister. Only women could become naditu priests. There were generally about two hundred celibate naditu priests of Shamash living in the cloister at a given time. Most were from royal or upper-class families. Iltani, the naditu sister of King Hammurabi, made offerings of date cakes at festivals.[2] She also leased her orchard for payment of back taxes and leased her field to a scribe. (140)
