If, as has been made plausible by Hommel, Nineveh, the later capital of the Assyrian empire, represents a settlement made by inhabitants of a Nineveh situated in the south, there is no reason why a southern deity bearing the name Anshar should not have been transferred from the south to the north. The attempt has been made to explain the change from Anshar to Ashur.
For further specimens of Babylonian war-songs, see Hommel, ib. pp. 180-190, all dealing with the memorable Hammurabi period. K. 1282, Harper, ib., pp. 432 seq., and King's fragment, Zeitschrift für Assyriologie, xl. 60, 61. The gods of vegetation are mentioned. I.e., give wisdom to the one who honors me. Text 'Dibbarra.

There may be some ultimate connection with some of the signs of the zodiac, so Hommel believes, but such connection would have to be judged from the earlier forms that animism takes on, and not in the light of an advanced theology such as appears in the zodiacal system of the Babylonians. See Perrot and Chiplez, History of Art in Chaldaea and Assyria, I. 351. The element ki is sometimes omitted.

Hommel, in two articles in Ersch and Gruber's Encyclopaedia, under "Bedouins" and "Anzah," gives full particulars respecting the Anizeh, otherwise Anaessi, tribe that they were in the habit of joining the Wahabees and other Bedouin tribes in attacking caravans and levying blackmail. The Turkish Pasha at Damascus had to pay annually passage-money to ensure the safety of the pilgrims to Mecca.
Hommel, however, does not see that neither five nor seven are to be interpreted literally, but that both represent a large round number, and, therefore, also a holy one. IR. 55, col. iv. ll. 7-13.

It is 52 miles in diameter, and is surrounded by an apparently continuous rampart, except on the E., where there is a crater, and on the S.W., where it abuts on Hommel h.

Sabitum appears originally to have been a term descriptive of her, and Hommel may be right in explaining the name as 'the one from Sabu, and in taking the latter as the name of a district in Arabia. It is tempting to think of the famous Saba in Southern Arabia.
