The Liber Pontificalis under Hadrian I. mentions the "tres apsides in ea constituens" of that church as if they were something new. Of this building the greater part remains, though with considerable alterations and additions made in the fourteenth century, after the earthquake of 1348, and in the fifteenth century.
Ea libertas est, qui pectus purum et firmum gestitat: Aliae res obnoxiosae nocte in obscura latent. In the -Scipio-, which was probably incorporated in the collection of miscellaneous poems, the graphic lines occurred: -mundus caeli vastus constitit silentio, Et Neptunus saevus undis asperis pausam dedit.
The real purport of the legend in its present form is foreshadowed by the further advice that Ea offers to Adapa: When thou comest before Anu they will offer thee food of death. Do not eat. They will offer thee waters of death. Do not drink. They will offer thee a garment. Put it on. They will offer thee oil. Anoint thyself. The order that I give thee do not neglect.
The warning comes appropriately from Ea as the god of humanity, who according to some traditions is also the creator of mankind, and who is the teacher and protector of mankind. Opposed to Ea is Bel, the old Bel of Nippur, who is represented as favoring the destruction of humanity. The story in this way reflects a rivalry between the Ea and Bel cults.
The discrimination, which Ea urges, Ezekiel asserts will be made; but the sinner must bear his own sin, and the righteous, however eminent, can only save themselves by their righteousness. The general principle propounded in the Epic is here applied to a special case. But the parallelism between the passages lies not only in the general principle but also in the literary setting.
See above, p. 39, and Hommel's full discussion, Altisraelitische Ueberlieferung, chapter iii. Haupt, pp. 12, 67. Attitude of despair. I.e. 'servant of Ea. The reading Ardi-Ea is preferable to Arad-Ea. Lit., 'sailor. See above, p. 443. Haupt, pp. 64, 36; 65, 1. Altisraelitische Ueberlieferung, p. 35. Tum is the feminine ending. A large measure.

'Now, I knew what the three first letters I wanted were namely, rio to complete the word atrio; and, as you will see, these are all to be found in the first five letters. I was a little confused at first by the occurrence of two i's, but very soon I saw that every alternate letter must be taken in the remainder of the inscription. You can work it out for yourself; the result, continuing where the first "round" left off, thus: rio domus abbatialis de Steinfeld a me, Thoma, qui posui custodem super ea. Gare
"Two parties here before ye," answered the priest, icily, as if these repeated questions rumpled ecclesiastical dignity, and he gabbled on with the psalm, "similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes " "If we lifted that box," interrupted the persistent Englishman, "what might there be?"
Unfortunately, too, the elements composing her name are not clear, and it must be borne in mind that the reading is purely provisional. So much, at least, seems certain: that Bau and Ga-tum-dug are two forms under which one and the same natural element was personified. Bau is called in the incantation texts, the mother of Ea.
Immediately after the great triad, Anu, Bel, and Ea, there is enumerated a second, Sin, Shamash, and Ramman, and only then there follows Marduk. More than this, Ramman is introduced for a second time in conjunction with Shamash, as in the hymn of Hammurabi. The two are appealed to as 'the divine lords of justice. The conqueror of the Cassites, Nebuchadnezzar I., also holds Ramman in high esteem.
