The appellation is therefore a most appropriate one, and there seems little reason to question that Tashmitum was originally nothing but one of the terms by which Nabu was designated, just as he was called Papsukal in his rôle as 'messenger' of the gods, the messenger of his father Marduk and of his grandfather Ea, in particular.
The factors here involved are not clear, nor do we know why the tenth month is sacred to Papsukal perhaps here used as an epithet of Nabu to Anu, and to Ishtar.
Some are well known, as Nin-girsu, Zamama, and Papsukal. Many of them are found in other branches of the religious literature or in invocations attached to historical texts, commemorative of some work undertaken and completed by the kings; but a large proportion of these powers, not often distinguishable from mere spirits, only appear once in the literary remains of Babylonia.
