またカッツは、シュメール版の神話は豊穣の問題には触れておらず、豊穣に関する言及（例えばイシュタルが死んでいる間は自然は不妊である）は、後のアッカド語訳においてのみ加えられたと指摘している<ref>Katz, 2015, p70</ref><ref>Katz, 2015, p70</ref>。このような変更は、神話を、タンムーズの死を毎年悼み、その後、一時的な復活を祝うという、タンムーズに関連する崇拝の伝統に近づけるためであったと思われる<ref>Katz, 2015, p70-71</ref>。     。カッツによれば、アシュールやニネベなど、タンムズ崇拝で知られるアッシリアの都市から、後世の神話の多くの複製が出土していることは注目に値するという<ref>Katz also notes that the Sumerian version of the myth is not concerned with matters of fertility, and points out any references to it (e.g. to nature being infertile while Ishtar is dead) were only added in later Akkadian translations; so was the description of [[Tammuz]]'s funeral. The purpose of these changes was likely to make the myth closer to cultic traditions linked to Tammuz2015, namely the annual mourning of his death followed by celebration of a temporary return. According to Katz it is notable that known many copies of the later versions of the myth come from [[Assyrian Empire|Assyrian]] cities which were known for their veneration of Tammuz, such as [[Assur|Ashur]] and [[Nineveh]].{{sfn|Katz|2015|p=70}}p70</ref>。
