This looks like Assyrian text. Too lazy to read, can anyone confirm?

The image is actually Assyrian text. The manuscript is a palimpsest, meaning there is an even older text that exists under the writing shown in the image that was scratched off. That "hidden" text underneath is the Greek text. The overlaying text on top is Assyrian (specifically, western Assyrian).
