on the obverse, and on the reverse a laurel wreath surrounded by and inclosing This at once identified the grave as that of Lieutenant John Irving, third officer of the 'Terror'. Under the head was found a figured silk pocket-handkerchief, neatly folded, the colors and pattern in a remarkable state of preservation. The skull and a few other bones only were found in and near by the grave.
Until he had read the reverse and obverse sides of life, his sense of morality had lain dormant and untilled. Such was his misfortune. The solitary relative he laid claim to was an aged aunt, his father's sister. For her he had purchased a beautiful place in the town of his birth, vaguely intending to live out his old age there. There had been a fight for all he possessed.
Its obverse bore the profile of the young Louis XV, whose statesmen hoped they had now established a French Gibraltar in America, where French fleets and forts would command the straits leading into the St Lawrence and threaten the coast of New England, in much the same way as British fleets and forts commanded the entrance to the Mediterranean and threatened the coasts of France and Spain.
Balas nominated no successor upon his death-bed, thus giving in his last moments an additional proof of that moderation and love of peace which had characterized his reign. Coins, which possess several points of interest, are assigned to Balas by the best authorities. They bear on the obverse the head of the king with the usual mural crown surmounted by a crescent and inflated ball.
And the sum and substance of all His dealings with every soul is, 'My son! give Me thy heart. 'Be ye reconciled to God. II. And now turn, very briefly, to the next suggestion arising from this text, the terrible obverse, so to speak, of the coin: Man refusing a beseeching God. That is the great paradox and mystery. Nobody has ever fathomed that yet, and nobody will.
In their general appearance they resemble those of Zamasp, but do not exhibit quite so many stars and crescents. The legend on the obverse is either "Kavdt" or "Kavdt" afzui, i.e. "Kobad," or "May Kobad be increased." The reverse shows the regnal year, which ranges from eleven to forty-three, together with a mint-mark. Conspiracy to dethrone him crushed. General Severity of his Government.
While perhaps not much stress is laid by the artist upon this symbolism, its existence can hardly be questioned. The water certainly represents the Apsu. Allatu rests upon the bark. The dead are buried, and by virtue of this fact enter Aralû, which is in the earth. Egyptian influence is possible, but unlikely. IVR. 26, no. 1. I.e., the nether world. IVR. 30, no. 1; obverse 5, 14.
His victories are recorded with an irony perhaps not wholly accidental beneath the Asokan inscription on the Allahabad pillar. Of his zeal for Hinduism we have a convincing proof in gold coins of his reign that preserve on the obverse in the figure of the sacrificial horse a record of the Asvamedha, which he again revived.
As the poet puts it, "Rightly to be great is not to stir without great argument, but greatly to find quarrel in a straw when honor is at stake," or, as we should put it, greatly to find quarrel in the straws of life when principle is at stake. And the second consequence is the obverse of this: To treat what seem to be great occasions because of their outward results, as if they were small.
The line is very obscure owing to the break in the tablet. So Harper, but see pp. 541, 542. I.e., he will dig his beak into the juicy part of the meat. Of the carcass. As shown by the colophon of K. 2606, and also by the fact that K. 1547, which contains on the obverse the tale, contains on the reverse Etana's prayer to Shamash. See above, p. 195.
