PREFATORY REMARKS. 
 
 No one can deny the rapid advance that has been 
 made in our knowledge of Assyrian during the last few 
 years. Tlie published texts have been carefully studied 
 and many of the more important inscriptions have been 
 translated and explained. Notwithstanding this the great 
 part of the Assyrian literature which still remains wholly 
 unknown to its most diligent students justifies withont 
 apology the publication of any new texts. Our knowledge 
 of Assyrian is and must remain in a formative state until 
 many more texts are published, studied and explained. 
 No good Semitic scholar would maintain that any language 
 could become well or thoroughly known so long as the text 
 to a lai'ge section of its literature remains inedited. It is, 
 therefore, much more important to devote time and study 
 to a careful edition of new texts than to constantly direct 
 tlie attention of scholars to the conclusive results to which 
 we have arrived, or to strive to subject Semitic philology 
 to the mandate of Assyrian. It is commendable to follow 
 the example of the Continental School of Assyriologists in 
 endeavouring to make our knowledge of the published 
 inscriptions more exact, but it is very unwise to neglect 
 the limits which our knowledge of Assyrian must neces- 
 sarily liave, until volumes of syllabaries, letters and con- 
 tracts have been published. 
 
 The student of Assyrian may justly complain that the 
 editions of texts are not critical enough. Tlie editors too 
 often do not take the trouble to compare the original as 
 
VI PREFATORY REMARKS. 
 
 frequently as is necessaiy, especially in editing difficult 
 texts. Such editions require much labor, patience and 
 pains, which most Assjoiologists seem unwilling or unable 
 to devote to them. Many students able to remain in London 
 but a few weeks (by no means long enough to acquire 
 skill in copying the cuneiform characters) are induced to 
 publish texts which they have not collated after copying 
 them. Of course, under such circumstances, critical notes 
 are an impossibility and mistakes are unavoidable. Ab- 
 solutely faultless copies ought not, however, to be expected ; 
 for every one is aware how difficult it is to guard against 
 mistakes in copying and printing plain English. The editor, 
 therefore, does not claim that his edition is perfect, although 
 he has carefully corrected the proof of each text from three 
 to five times with the tablet, and used every care both here 
 and in his Asurhanipaltexte to make his publications as 
 reliable as possible. 
 
 Type is certainly preferable to any other form for such 
 an edition of texts, but it often occasions great difficulty 
 in ^exactly reproducing the chai-acters. It has usually been 
 possible to do this, otherwise a note will be found pointing 
 out any defects. The editor has been very much aided 
 by the printers, Messrs. Harrison & Sons, who have kindly 
 cooperated with him in giving to the student as reliable 
 a book as possible. He feels sure, therefore, that all who 
 use the book will join him in this expression of thanks. 
 
 In the preparation of his work. Die Keilschrifttexte Asur- 
 Jxinvpals, the author had occasion to copy inscriptions which 
 could not be published in that book; these bilingual texts, 
 incantations, syllabaries, etc., accompanied by others chosen 
 especially for it, form the present Avork. The plan is to 
 supplement this with other parts as soon as time and oppor- 
 tunity will permit. 
 
PREFATORY REMARKS. vii 
 
 The purpose of the accompanying critical notes is to 
 give a reason for the reading that has been adopted, to 
 indicate other possibiHties, and to furnish here and there 
 hints as to the probable translation and explanation ; but 
 they are intended to be in no sense a commentary. 
 
 Thanks are here due to Mr. T. G. Pinches, who has 
 kindly read the final proof of most of the plates. Space 
 is cheerfully given to him for three interesting texts which 
 he prepared for pidilication some time ago.

TEXTUAL NOTES. 
 
 K. 3473 + 79-7-8, 296 + Rm. 615. 
 
 These fragments, joined together by Mr. Pmches, form a 
 part of the creation legend. This is unpubHshed, except 
 that Dehtzsch has given lines 17 — 42 in transcription in his 
 Assyrisclies Worterhuch, p. 100, Although the text is very 
 clear, he has made some mistakes which will be pointed out 
 below. 
 
 Line 13. The first character is very probably correctly 
 given, though it is not all to be seen. 
 
 Line 15. The first sign visible is apparently ^^. 
 
 Line 16. The first character is probably >^\. 
 
 Line 23. Delitzsch completes the line \_ma]. It is diffi- 
 cult to see why he should compare hu-bur with Homoroka, 
 Omoroka ? 
 
 Line 24. Delitzsch completes [Ae?]. 
 
 Line 25. The fourth sign has the value of sin and sun. 
 At the end of the line there are traces which may be a part 
 of^. 
 
 Line 26. Delitzsch completes [/i?] 
 
 Line 27. The ][][< is quite certain, notwithstanding the 
 fracture in the tablet. Delitzsch completes the fine [ma f] 
 
 Line 29. The fifth character is not j^]y, as Delitzsch 
 gives it, but quite clearly ^j^f. The difference between 
 these two characters should be observed. Cf. Pinches ZK 
 II, p. 158. The character preceding the last is not y, as 
 Delitzsch gives it, but is quite clearly ^y, which he queries in 
 the margin. 
 
 Line 30. The fifth character is not -^y, as Delitzsch reads, 
 but <y. Delitzsch completes the line >/-. 
 
 Line 32. Delitzsch completes J§1J. This reading occurs 
 in the next line. 
 
2 Textual Notes. 
 
 Line 33. Delitzsch completes ]^ . 
 
 Line 34. Perhaps the Kne is complete. 
 
 Line 37. There is the top-wedge >-< of a character visible, 
 preceding kun, probably t^ff. 
 
 Line 38. The last character visible is rah. Delitzsch 
 gives incorrectly ^^. 
 
 Line 46. The beginning is not entirely complete, but the 
 text seems to me to be correct. 
 
 Line 53. The last sign visible is probably ■<4'^4"- 
 
 Line 67. The last character that I have given is not 
 quite certain, though highly probable. 
 
 Line 72. The last sign is of course ^. 
 
 Line 74. The last character is most probably inis, lak, as 
 I have given it. 
 
 Line 75. The last part of what I have given is not clear. 
 All the following lines of the obverse are much defaced. I 
 am only able to read them by help of the same text which 
 occurs above. 
 
 Line 90. Cf. line 32 above for the last sign. 
 
 Line 97. Not all the character an is visible. 
 
 Line 104. The tablet is broken here, but the text is 
 clear 1. 46 above. 
 
 Line 105. This line is lost at the beginning. Cf. line 47. 
 
 Line 112. The last sign is s:^, according to line 54 above. 
 
 Line 113. The character kal is not clear here, but cf. Kne 
 55 above. 
 
 Line 121. There are traces of the character preceding 
 a ; what I see is 'fl^f\. Following kar there may be the same 
 text as in line 63. 
 
 Line 125. The first sign is probably S^^ff. 
 
 Line 130. The first character is not clear, but it is quite 
 certainly an. 
 
 Line 133. The last sign visible may be ^'\<. 
 
 Line 135. The eighth character is perhaps ^^. 
 
 137. There are some traces of signs after u ; but I cannot 
 recognise any further characters. 
 
 Line 138. This line is probably to be completed >-<y<. 
 
TeMual N^otetf. 3 
 
 K. 5640. 
 
 This small fragment is very imperfect. The occurrence 
 of ti-a-ma-at, line 13, shows that it belongs to the creation 
 story. 
 
 Line 2. The fourth character is not clear, but the text 
 I have given is probably correct. 
 
 Line 4. The value of the first character is utuk, and that 
 of the fourth gidim ; these are names of demons. 
 
 Line 5. The last character is probably »~^y. 
 
 Line 6. The character >^ is not clear, but the sense 
 seems to require ifc, and the traces are not against it. The 
 last character is to be completed >-^]^. 
 
 Line 8. The character ^ has the value of ru, and is to 
 be read so here. — The ninth sign is possibly ^^. 
 
 Line 10. There are some traces of wedges at the end of 
 the line, but the signs are not to be recognised. 
 
 Line 14. The first character may be J^, but seems to 
 me to be more probably j^yyf. 
 
 Line 15. The third and second signs from the end may 
 be ^^< -^y, and the last character is possibly ^yy. 
 
 Line 17. The last sign is probably j^yyy. 
 
 Line 18. The second character may be ""^y. 
 
 Line 28. The second character is to be completed »-<y<. 
 
 Line 32. The second sign is perhaps >-<y<. 
 
 Line 35. The first character is perhaps better ^yyyy. 
 
 Line 36. The third character is to be completed >^l^- 
 
 Line 38. The y]^ at the end of this and the following line 
 is quite certain, though not perfectly clear. 
 
 K. 4832. 
 
 Line 2. The first character is probably -t^'^'^yy. 
 Line 5. At the beginning there are traces of ^. 
 Line 12. The character before the last is perhaps <y>-. 
 Line 13. Perhaps the traces of signs preceding pi are to 
 be completed >/- i:^ *~^y- 
 
 Line 14. The first character is, perhaps, >-<. 
 Line 20. The first sign is, perhaps, >{'l^ov >-yy^. 
 
4 Textual Notes. 
 
 Line 25. The character at the beginning is, perhaps, 
 >->^y^, tliough this is very doubtful. 
 
 Line 26. There are traces of other characters each side of 
 the an, but I cannot tell what they are. 
 
 Line 29. The last character is probably ^^^. 
 
 Line 30. The last sign is not veiy clear, but Su is, I am 
 quite sure, correct. 
 
 Line 34. At the beginning of the line there are traces 
 of part of a character. 
 
 Line 39. The second sign may be -^y. 
 
 Line 52. The first character is not certain. 
 
 Line 53. At the beginning of the line there is part of a 
 character to be seen, perhaps ^. 
 
 Line 55. The -^y at the beginning is probably part of 
 
 Line 57. The -<^ at the beginning is probably part of 
 »-yy^. Part of the last upright wedge is visible. 
 
 Line 58. The sign at the beginning may be ^^^, but is 
 more probably >->==y^. 
 
 Line 59. At the beginning of the line the character is 
 probably ^^yy> l^ut it may possibly be ^^yy- 
 
 Line 60. The sign previous to the last seems to be zu, 
 though it may be "^j^y ; the word would then be lik-ha. 
 
 K. 3445. 
 
 This small fragment may be a part of the creation tablet 
 just given. It was placed apparently by George Smith with 
 these tablets in the case in the British Museum. The 
 presence of the division marks and the style seem to indicate 
 that it belongs to a legend of some kind. It is so frag- 
 mentary that I cannot determine with certainty where it 
 really does belong. 
 
 In the first line visible, the second character is probably 
 to be completed ^^. Further signs I am unable to restore 
 from the traces that I can see. 
 
 Line 3. The sign ki at the end may not be entirely 
 certain, but it is probably correct. 
 
 Line 8. Read mi-ih-rit. The a-na-hi at the end seems 
 to me clear. 
 
Textual Notes. 5 
 
 Line 9. The last character visible may be »/-. The >— 
 is quite clear as I have given it. 
 
 Line IL The two small Avedgcs on the edge seem to 
 me to be the division marks, though they may possibly 
 belong to the following character, which is broken away. 
 
 Line 12. zu-ah is an ideograph for apsti, " abyss." 
 
 Line 13, nu-hat- {?') ta. This is perhaps the same word as 
 the well-known nuhatte, mibatti, " festival." It is, of course, 
 altogether wrong to read >/- = ^d, and to derive mit-ti from 
 r\yO, as Dr. Lehmann, ZA II, p. Qb, has done. The is 
 after the ta is not clear, and may belong to the character 
 that is partly broken away. 
 
 Line 14. The second character is, perhaps, */-. Cf. line 
 12. Instead of pat-is-mi, as I have given it, the reading may 
 be %^^ sa-ma-mi, though I think my text is much more 
 probable. The last character visible is probably up. 
 
 Line 17. The first sign is not clear ; it may be JEJ, but 
 if so, it is made very differently from the one above it. The 
 line is very much crowded. 
 
 Line 18. The first character is, perhaps, "^^f. The 
 seventh character from the end seems to me certainly lu, 
 though I would have expected ]^, for the word ib-na-a is 
 common and occurs in the next line. 
 
 Line 20. The sign preceding the last may be >^ instead 
 of kul. 
 
 Line 21. The first character after the shading is 
 probably j^yif. 
 
 Line 23. The sign at the beginning may be >-^y. 
 
 Line 24. The third character is very doubtful ; what is 
 to be seen may be »-<y< or »-<, and the beginning of another 
 character. 
 
 Line 25. The second character is probably du, as I have 
 given it. The three wedges to the right are probably to 
 be completed ^. 
 
 Line 27. The du that I have given as the third character 
 is extremely doubtful. I cannot suggest an alternative 
 reading. 
 
 Line 28. Instead of te it is possible to read -^f. 
 
6 Textual Note?. 
 
 K. 3931. 
 
 This text is labelled " Incantation, Dialectic." According 
 to Bezold's Literaturgeschichte, it has not been referred to 
 or published. The writing is large, clear, and beautiful 
 Assyrian. 
 
 Line 1. Just above the character tuk part of a wedge 
 is visible. 
 
 Line 4. The ra is not altogether certain ; the following 
 sign is entirely illegible. 
 
 Line 5. The first sign seems to be turn as I have given 
 it, but it is not all to be seen. 
 
 Line 35. The first character visible is probably S^fflf; 
 there are also some traces before this, but I am not certain 
 what the sign is. 
 
 Line 39. The name Assiir is quite certain; two upper 
 wedges of the sign mat are visible. 
 
 K. 404L 
 
 This is a small very legibly written fragment, but only 
 a part of one side is preserved. It has not been mentioned 
 in any publication. 
 
 Line 8. The last sign is not very clear, but my text 
 seems correct. 
 
 Line 14. The traces at the beginning of tliis and the 
 following line are very uncertain ; I have given what I can 
 see. 
 
 Line 20. The character at the beginning has traces of 
 an upright wedge, and may be part of ^, J^ or ^^^fi. 
 
 Line 25. The sign lu is not all visible, but is quite 
 certain. 
 
 S. 48, &c. 
 
 This biHngual text is quoted by Strassmaier, AV p. 1008 
 (Bezold, Literaturgeschichte, p. 318), where he has given quite 
 correctly the first two sections of the double column to 
 the left on the reverse. This is, however, on the fragment 
 numbered. S. 799. The pieces were fitted together by 
 George Smith. 
 
Textual Notes. 7 
 
 The traces of signs at right hand corner of the obverse 
 may be parts of >-y||^ |[^I][. 
 
 The tablet is broken just at the division mark on the right 
 (reverse), but the characters are all preserved except the last 
 sign of line 4. The kan in hne 3 also extended slightly over 
 the line. 
 
 K. 93. 
 
 The label in the British Museum calls this text a list of 
 " Babylonian families." There is no mention made of this in 
 any publication so far as 1 am aware. Bezold omits it from 
 his list. 
 
 The first two lines are probably complete. 
 
 Line 3. The sign at the end may be s:^. 
 
 Line 10. The wanting character may be ^t^f as ]\Ir. 
 Pinches suggests to me. Cf. Strassmaier, AV No. 727. 
 
 Line 15. The upi'ight wedges for " two " are written 
 over the sign kur. 
 
 Rm. 343. 
 
 This bihngual list has never been referred to according 
 to Bezold, Jjiteraturgeschichte. 
 
 In the first hne, the second character is undoubtedly ti^fyf. 
 Line 2. At the right the character is possibly >^]]], or 
 
 The glosses have been placed in ( ), since it was im- 
 possible to make all the characters smaller in type. The 
 first sign in line 14 does not represent the original correctly. 
 The ki should be much smaller and be beneath the kab at the 
 end of the line above. The ki on the outside seems to have 
 been put here to show what is inside the preceding character. 
 
 Line 16. The sign bu is probably all that this line 
 contained. 
 
 Above the first line in the left hand column on the 
 reverse, some traces of wedges are visible, but I cannot make 
 out the characters. Perhaps the two wedges are part of 
 
 In lines 4-6 the tig is the first sign of the left hand 
 column. The shading is intended to belong to the next 
 column.

 This tablet has been quoted by Strassmaier, AV in twelve 
 passages {cf. Bezold, Literaturgeschichte, p. 291) ; it can hardly, 
 however, be considered similar to V, R. 47, as Dr. Bezold will 
 recognize upon seeing the whole tablet. It is very clearly 
 and beautifully written, and will need little comment. 
 
 Line 4. The last character according to Strassmaier, 
 AVNo. 6261, is ->f. 
 
 Line 10. The an at the end is wanting in Strassmaier's 
 copy, No. 6953. 
 
 Line 11. The last sign visible is probably ^^y|. Strassmaier 
 No. 6953, has incorrectly ^y. 
 
 Line 12. Strassmaier, No. 6241, adds \\, shading it and 
 ending the line. 
 
 Line 13. At the end Strassmaier doubtfully >-^y. 
 
 Line 15. The last character is probably the god Bel. 
 
 Line 16. The last sign visible is perhaps >->y-. 
 
 Line 17. The se-da after the shading is not entirely 
 certain, but it is the most probable. 
 
 Line 18. After the shading the character nin is not 
 certain. 
 
 Line 23. The character at the beginning may be us or 
 du, but it is impossible to determine with certainty. The 
 reading na-oh for the third and fourth signs I regard as quite 
 probable, though the tablet is broken. 
 
 Line 25. It is quite doubtful what stood at the begin- 
 ning, perhaps *~. 
 
 Rev. line 6. The line is probably to be transcribed : ahu 
 rahi-i ahdtu rabi-ti ahu u ummu na-sa-rum u na-ha-ru. 
 
 Line 7. The fifth sign is probably jL9as«?/rzf, " dish," though 
 I do not regard the reading as certain. After tig the zi is 
 doubtful. The scribe seems to have wi-itten them together. 
 
 Line 8. The 6th character is partly broken away, but 
 cannot well be anything else than za. 
 
 Line 9. The sixth sign is probably correct, though the 
 tablet is broken. 
 
 Line 10. The fifth character is very probably III[^fc. 
 
Textual Notes. 9 
 
 Line 1 5 is perhaps to be completed >-^y ^ ■J^V' " male- 
 servant and female-servant." 
 
 Line 19. There is enough of the hi visible to determine 
 ■what it is; ^ is probably what is lost, and the character 
 partly visible is probably ^<. 
 
 Line 21. The third character from the end is not exactly 
 reproduced, but it vi^as difficult to give it exactly with type. 
 
 Line 22. The last word is evidently nap-pa-ha-tu, " black- 
 smithery." 
 
 Line 26—27. Cf. W.A.L, IV., pi. 7, Col. II, lines 2, 3, 
 etc. ; PI. 8, Col. Ill, lines 3—5, etc. 
 
 Line 29. The line is probably to be completed ^ "jlrlM 
 *^^Idf ^^ Strassmaier, No. 7638, does.

 This omen-tablet is altogether unpublished. It has been 
 quoted by George Smith in Sennacherib, p. 1, and Assyrian 
 Eponym Canon, p. 173. Cf. Bezold, Literaturgeschichte, p. 286. 
 The label on the box is " Omens from the wind, &c. Inte- 
 resting writing of name of Sennacherib." 
 
 Line 1. The last sign visible is quite certainly hul. 
 
 I-iine 2. The marks above and below tab I regard as 
 accidental. 
 
 Line 4. The third character before the last one given in 
 my copy is not exactly reproduced ; the middle horizontal 
 wedge should pass through the upright ones. 
 
 Line 7. The character at the end of the line may be 
 
 Line 14. For an-se-te see W.A.L, IV, 16. The correct 
 reading is ni-sa-ba. For the value of siim-ir in Accadian, cf. 
 Pinches, P.S.B.A., April, 1881, p. 83. 
 
 Rev. line 1. This seems to be the correct reading of 
 what is to be seen here ; the last im is not all visible. 
 
 Line 2. There are traces of several characters at the end, 
 but I found it impossible to reproduce them ; therefore I have 
 given only some wedges to indicate that the text is not all 
 broken away. 
 
10 Textual Notes. 
 
 Line 10 is, perhaps, to be transcribed and translated thus : 
 u-ra-hi dim ab-sar ha-an-e, "Like its old copy written and 
 explained (shown forth)." ha-an are prefixes, and e the root 
 (Pinches). 
 
 Line 11/". George Smith translates: "Tablet of Aia- 
 suzubu-ilih, the scribe of the rabshakeh, of Sennacherib, the 
 great royal son of Sargon, king of Assyria " (Ejwnpn Canon, 
 p. 173). The word a-ha, which Smith translates "scribe," 
 is very difficult. Cf, Asurhanipaltexte, Heft II, p. 32. 
 Delitzsch, in his WOrterbiich, accepts the meaning " Secretar,'' 
 but it does not fit in many passages. Strassmaier proposes 
 " Verwalter." We do not know how the Assyrians pronounced 
 the group ; it is, however, quite certain that a-ba is not " gut- 
 semitisch," as Delitzsch claims. Line 14 below we have 
 a-ba amelii bel-bat-hi (= Assur). 
 
 K. 258. 
 
 This tablet has never been mentioned in the published 
 literature ; it is entirely new. The writing is very clear, so 
 that there is comparatively little to note. As will be seen, it 
 is an " omentext." 
 
 Line 1. The character hi following the shading is very 
 doubtful ; what is visible may belong to two different 
 characters. 
 
 Line 2. The eleventh character is possibly to be com- 
 pleted j*^. 
 
 After line 11 the scribe has erased an entire line. 
 
 Line 12. At the end of the line, there are traces of a 
 character that are possibly t^. 
 
 Line 14. The traces of signs visible before the shading 
 are probably an, with the beginning wedges of the name of 
 the god. 
 
 After line 15, the scribe has erased two lines. The tablet 
 is broken away except in the middle, as I have indicated by 
 the shading. 
 
 Line 16. I see some traces of signs in this line, just above 
 the li of the following line, but they are not clear enough to 
 enable me to reproduce them. 
 
Textual Notes. 11 
 
 Line 17. The characters si-U-ti are clearly a gloss. At 
 the end there are some traces, possibly two upright wedges. 
 
 Line 18. The third line is reproduced in print just as the 
 scribe wrote it. 
 
 Line 23, is probably complete. 
 
 Line 24. The traces at the end of the line are, perhaps, 
 to be completed >-y|^. 
 
 Line 28. At the close of the line, the traces may be the 
 beginning of »-J:]y • 
 
 Line 29. I think this line is complete. 
 
 Line 32. The first sign is probably ""j^iy. 
 
 Line 34. The first character may be ^yif^. 
 
 Rev. line 6. After this line, the scribe had left out a line 
 and inserted it on the edge, and indicated where it belonged 
 by a line. 1 have reproduced this in my copy. 
 
 Line 8. The wedge at the end is, perhaps, the lower 
 wedge of ^. 
 
 Line 10. The last character is probably to be completed 
 
 The last line is separated from the others, as is indicated, 
 and is written in the style of writing that is foimd on the 
 stones. It was evidently cut in after the tablet was baked. 
 I think the line is complete as I have restored it. 
 
 S. 526. 
 
 This bilingual text has been cited several times. Cf. 
 Bezold, Literatwgeschiclite. There is no indication that the 
 explanation " Weisheitsregeln und Spiiiche (1) enthaltend 
 (Delitzsch) " is correct. The text is clearly an address to a 
 god, for line 15 we read, he-lum a-na hit si-ka-ri la tir-ru-uh, 
 " God, into the house of drink thou dost not enter." Cf. 
 lines 19, 23, &c. The entire reverse of the tablet is broken 
 away. 
 
 Line 1. The character preceding an may be t^fyfl. 
 
 Line 2. The text here is restored according to the traces 
 and from line 4 below. 
 
 Line 4. The upright wedge at the beginning is probably 
 part of ^y. 
 
 Line 9. The second character is probably i^-] ^ . 
 
12 Textual Notes. 
 
 Line 10. The recurrence of a-hi-na in the next line 
 shows that >— »- is repeated here. Cf. line 6 above. 
 
 Line 11. Following si there was probably tf^ ^ J^y 
 
 Line 12. The sign with the shading seems to me to be 
 
 Line 17. The wanting character is most likely ^. 
 
 Line 19. Si-tul-ti. Cf. W.A.L, V, 16, hne 1. The 
 restorations are from line 15 above. 
 
 Line 20. I have restored from line 1 6. 
 
 Line 21. The last sign is bit, according to the last line 
 on the tablet. 
 
 Line 26. I see traces of the corner-wedge of H. 
 
 Line 27. Although the tablet is broken at the beginning, 
 there is nothing lost. 
 
 Line 30. For the second sign visible, compare W.A.L, 
 V, 38, line 8 ; 11, 21, line 42 cd. The same character occurs 
 at the beginning of line 32. 
 
 Line 35. The thu-d character is probably ^, followed by 
 >-< as in line 17 above. 
 
 82-8-16, 1. 
 
 This text, which is the only one bearing the above 
 signature, is the bottom left hand corner of a large tablet, 
 the probable original length of which was about 8 or 9 
 inches, and the width about 7 inches. The present length 
 is 4^ inches, and the width 4 inches. Each side originally 
 contained two fourfold columns, of which we have the lower 
 part of the first, a few characters of the lower part of the 
 second, a few characters of the upper part of the third, and 
 the upper part of the fourth. 
 
 The first 20 lines of the first column, having been com- 
 pleted from an unbaked tablet from Babylon (Sp. II, 266), 
 are given in the Babylonian style, the characters wanting on 
 the Babylonian copy having been restored, transcribed into 
 Babylonian, in order to prevent confusion by mixing the two 
 styles. The readings of the Assyrian copy are given in the 
 notes. After line 20 (the eighth line of the obverse of 82-8-

 Line 1. The sixth character, >^y, is doubtful. The 
 character '^pfff at the end of this line is broken in the 
 original. 
 
 Line 3. The broken character at the beginning of this 
 line is to be completed as >^^. 
 
 Line 4. Before |^^ are traces of a character which may 
 be ■^>-, The character after the second yj may be J[py. 
 
 Line 5. The fifth character of the third division {su) is 
 doubtful. The character lam (towards the end) is also 
 uncertain — it may be simply -^ and yy written over another 
 character. 
 
 Line 6, The seventh character is uncertain, but the 
 traces indicate su or la {malasam). As in the line above, the 
 character lam is doubtful. 
 
 Line 7. The first character visible is to be completed 
 
 as^y-y. 
 
 Line 9. The sixth character of the third division (wa) is 
 not clear in the original. 
 
 Lines 10 and 11. The first character of the second division 
 is doubtful. The character si seems to be written diflferently. 
 
 Line 12. The characters te and lil are doubtful. 
 
 Line 13. The character ih of Ebih is, in both cases, 
 written more in the Assyrian than the Babylonian style.

 This text is inscribed on a small rectangular tablet of 
 clay 2jin. by Ifin. The writing is a good and fairly clear 
 Babylonian hand, though the tablet has suffered slightly 
 in some places. The text refers to a loan from Iddin- 
 Marduk to Musezib-Marduk, and is dated in the 33rd year of 
 Nebuchadnezzar. A precis of the contents has been given by 
 me in tlie Guide to the Nimroud Central Saloon, p. 87, No. 31. 
 
 Line 1. The number at the beginning is broken away. 
 The ma which follows is mutilated, and not very carefully 
 written, as the wedges seem to be four in number, and 
 of unequal length. The probability is, however, that the 
 wedges of the number with which the text began crossed 
 over as far as the upright of the ma, and that we are to 
 read ^t ^y >-^y or ^ ^y »~^y. In ina estin sikli, the »~ 
 crosses the y ; and the same also takes place in the next line. 
 
Textual Notes. 15 
 
 Line 4. In the last character {nappaku, " smith "), the 
 scribe seems, judging from the traces, to have wavered 
 between *^B^=l and ^t:t=I . 
 
 Line 10. Tlie last character of this line (harrana, " double 
 road " = " partnership") has the two uprig'ht wedges lightly 
 impressed at the top of the character, close to the slanting 
 wedges. The first character {ki) has four wedges within 
 on the tablet. 
 
 Line 12. The character zer at the end is doubtful, and 
 mu is restored. 
 
 Line 13. The last chai-acter but one (su) is doubtful, but 
 the traces do not lend themselves well to anythmg else. 
 The name is probably to be read Nabu-bunu-sutur. For bunu, 
 see W.A.I. II, pi. 36, 1. 50 cd. 
 
 Lines 15 — 17. The ki in these lines also have four wedges 
 Avithin. (See line 10.) 
 
 Line 17. There is no upright wedge before the name 
 N ebuchadnezzar. 
 
 At the end is room for two lines more in the original.

 This text is written on a tablet of baked clay, of a 
 yellowish colour, 3^ in. long by 2-^ in, broad. Though marked 
 with the letter "K," this tablet can not have come from 
 Kouyunjik, as both the writing and the form of the text, 
 which is dated at Erech, are Babylonian. The inscription 
 is very clearly written, but has some pecuharities as to style. 
 It is of great interest also on account of its being dated 
 in the 20th year of Assurbanipal. A precis of the contents 
 of the inscription has been given by me in the Guide to 
 the Nimroud Central Saloon, p. 83, No. 23. 
 
 Line 1. The peculiar form of the character sun (the last 
 character but three) is noteworthy. 
 
 Line 2. The character ah (the sixth ch.) has four upright 
 wedges in the original. The character ki, in this text, varies 
 slightly in form, the 3 horizontal sometimes only touching, 
 and sometimes crossing the first upright wedge. The upper 
 corner-wedge is sometimes in front of, and sometimes over, 
 the character. 
 
16 Textual Notes. 
 
 Line 6. The last character of this line has the small 
 upright wedge written rather higher than here printed. The 
 slanting wedges also are longer and not so much inclined. 
 
 Line 8. The second ki is rather roughly written in the 
 original, and has 4 horizontal wedges within. 
 
 Line 10. The second character is doubtful ; it is probably 
 intended for ^. 
 
 Line 17. The character sa at the end has, in the original, 
 the upper horizontal wedge longer than the lower one, and 
 also a little more to the left. 
 
 Line 18. The upright wedge before ^y was probably 
 written after the scribe had finished the line, and may have 
 been intended to be added to the y, so as to correct it to ^jf. 
 
 Line 24. The last character but one, which is written in 
 the original very much as here printed, probably has two 
 upright wedges within, being apparently intended for the 
 Babylonian form of ^^][ — very faint traces of a second wedge 
 may, indeed, be detected. 
 
 Line 28. The last character but one has, in the original, 
 the horizontal wedge very much to the right. 
 
 Line 29. The name of the god Bel is written in a rather 
 peculiar manner in the original, the slanting wedges being^ 
 in one case, almost vertical. 
 
 Line 30. In the original there is a false wedge before 
 the character mu. Apparently the scribe had begun to write 
 that character too close to the j. 
 
 Line 32. The character ^ at the end is very roughly 
 formed. The last sign but two {su) has four horizontal 
 wedges, and is crossed by one upright wedge, as in the 
 Assyrian form. 
 
 Line 33. This line seems to have been inserted by the 
 scribe after having completed the writing of the text, the 
 characters being only a little more than half the size of those 
 of the other lines. 
 
 Line 35 (bottom edge). The character >- before J^y is 
 mutilated in the original, and therefore doubtful.
