I am looking for ANE references to language like that of Darius in Ezra 6. 
Darius issues a decree that anyone who changes the text of his edict will 
have their house pulled down, and they will be impaled upon a beam of the 
house. He also invokes god's wrath on anyone who changes the text. Now, I 
know I've read Hittite and Egyptian examples of this, invoking a curse on 
anyone who changes the text, perhaps in Pritchard, but I can't find any 
right now. Does anyone have any examples, with the citations?
Thanks much, Ben Spackman
