For our purposes it is sufficient to refer for the relations existing between Damascius and the cuneiform records to Smith's Chaldaeische Genesis, pp. 63-66, to Lenormant's Essai de Commentaire sur les fragments Cosmogoniques de Berose, pp. 67 seq., and to Jensen's Kosmologie der Babylonier, pp. 270-272. The names are given by Damascius as Apasôn and Tauthe. Hommel, Proc. Soc. Bibl.
See the chapter on "The Temples of Babylonia and Assyria." See Jensen, Kosmologie der Babylonier, pp. 134-139. Lit., "delayed in the heavens." I.e., there is war. Intercalated month. I.e., it is a good sign. Text erroneously 'one month. See above, p. 183. See Ihering, Vorgeschichte der Indo-Europaer, pp. 182 seq. See The Golden Bough, passim. IV Rawlinson, pls. 32, 33.
In Rawlinson, ii. 58, no. 6, there is a list of some seventy names. Rawlinson, ii. 58, no. 6, 58. De Sarzec, pl. 8, col v. ll. 4-6. Keils Bibl. 3, 1, 80, note 3. Rawlinson, iv. 35, no. 2, 1. See a syllabary giving lists of gods, Rawlinson, ii. 60, 12. See Jensen, Kosmologie der Babylonier, pp. 476-87. See Jensen, Kosmologie der Babylonier, pp. 476-87. Perhaps the knob of a sceptre. Proc. Soc.
Reading doubtful. Jensen suggests Erim. Soc. Bibl. If Gish-galla was not a part of Lagash, it could not have been far removed from it. That Ninib is only an ideographic form is sufficiently clear from the element NIN-, lord. The proof, however, that Ninib is Adar, is still wanting. See Jensen, Kosmologie der Babylonier, pp. 457, 458.
Marduk appears under a variety of names which will be taken up at their proper place. See Schrader's Assyrisch-Babyl. Hommel's view that Gish-galla, in Gudea's inscriptions, is Babylon lacks convincing evidence, but the city may be as old as Gudea's days for all that. Near Sippar. Bêl matâti.
