The first half of the text records a series of oracular questions regarding the manner in which various festivals which make up the larger autumn and spring festivals should be celebrated for different deities. Most of the questions relate to the Ḫadauri festival. The text then outlines the offerings made for during a range of festivals for various gods, mostly consisting of sheep, goats, beer, and bread. These include major festivals such as the KI.LAM and Nuntarriyašḫaš festivals. The final section of the texts outlines a journey made by the king to different important cities, including Nerik and Arinna, with celebrations and offerings made at each location. The king eventually returns to Ḫattuša, where further festivals are held. The king then goes twice to Mount Puškurunuwa, before the text breaks off.

The only full edition of this text is that of Lebrun R. 1994a, though this edition does not include the entirety of every manuscript. The text has also been treated by Nakamura M. 1995a; Nakamura M. 1997b; Groddek D. 2001b. In past editions, JCS 24, 176 no. 78, KBo 30.23 and KBo 41.130 have been included as duplicates, but it is not possible to determine their position in the text nor even confirm that they belong to this text, so they are edited separately here.

Manuscript A is the top third of a large three-column tablet, missing the top-left corner. Manuscript B is the lower half of a large two-column tablet. The remaining sources are smaller fragments. The manuscripts are generally written in a clear, neat script, clearly laid out with rulings between each oracular inquiry.

All witnesses are written in a late Hittite script. As noted by Lebrun R. 1994a, manuscript A displays a relatively high frequency of palaeographic archaisms.

As noted by Lebrun R. 1994a, manuscript A displays a relatively high number of orthographic archaisms.

The transmission is treated by Lebrun R. 1994a, who suggests that all our witnesses date to the 13th century, and that manuscript E (his F) could be a copy of a 14th-century original.

Lebrun R. 1994a interprets the oracles in this text as pertaining to reforms in the manner of celebrating festivals associated with Muršili II. The opening line suggests that the oracular questions are necessitated by the lack of documentation on the proper performance of the festivals.

Further fragments catalogued under CTH 568 likely belong to this same text or relate to the same or similar set of oracular inquiries. These include KBo 41.130 and KUB 52.36, the latter of which might possibly be placed in the gap beteen cola 37 and 38 of CTH 568.1, where A breaks of before B resumes. Further fragments closely parallel this text but contain significant divergences. These are KBo 43.186 (the first paragraph of which parallels cola 173-176), and VSNF 12.27 (which parallels 118-135). Since these texts cannot be securely placed within this composite, they are catalogued under separate CTH numbers.
