The cuneiform texts particularly the economic texts are considered as one of the most important documents that reflect the reality of everyday life, in fact among the periods of Mesopotamia the Old Babylonian Period (1595-2004 B.C) was characterized by development of economic activity which was reflected in the economic cuneiform texts as an ideal material to study the economic and social conditions of that period. This research studied five unpublished cuneiform texts which are part of forfeit texts belong to the Iraqi Museum. Therefore, their location and reference are unknown, one of them belong to (Abi-ešuḫ) the eighth king of the First Dynasty of Babylon, another one had a new date formula we think that belong to (Abi-sare) the sixth king of Larsa city, three of them hadn't date formula this made difficulty of determining the length of time for the these texts, but they generally belong to the Old Babylonian Period, based on personal names that was contained which were common names there, as well as the way of writing that supports these texts belong to Old Babylonian Period.
