Description A study of the geo-historical distribution of all the loan types as well as of the individual clauses used in the Old Babylonian loan con-tract (c. 1900-1600 BCE). It is shown that loan types as well as individual formulas have a limited geographical and historical distribution. Further, it is shown that changes that occur during the lifespan of a formula, eg, changes of interest rate or modes of guaranteeing loans, are also bounded historically and geographically. From the series ``Bar-Ilan Studies in Near Eastern Languages and Culture``.
