Tabahatan

The Ṭabahatan prayer is numbered as Prayer 170 in E. S. Drower's version of the Qulasta, which was based on manuscript 53 of the Drower Collection (abbreviated DC 53). The Šal Šulta (Prayer 171) directly follows the Ṭabahatan prayer.

Prayer

Drower (1959) version

Drower's (1959) version of the Tabahatan lists the following uthras and ancestors. Each name is followed by the phrase šabiq haṭaiia nihuilia ('forgiveness of sins be there for him' (singular); Modern Mandaic pronunciation: ) or šabiq haṭaiia nihuilun ('forgiveness of sins be there for them' (plural); Modern Mandaic pronunciation: ). Note that different versions of the Tabahatan may contain lists of names that vary significantly; for example, Salem Choheili recites a significantly different version.
