On the duplicate six demons are placed in the second division and the seventh in the third. On the duplicate those two demons do not occur. Schell thinks that the face is that of a dog. On the Zurghul duplicate the horse is not pictured. See p. 529. This division is not marked in the duplicate from Zurghul. Not occurring on the duplicate. Scheil questions whether the divisions have this purpose.
Only four on the Zurghul duplicate. For the interpretation of these symbols, see Luschan, Ausgrabungen in Sendschirli, pp. 17-27, and Scheil's article. On the Zurghul tablet there are eight symbols, while the other contains nine. See pp. 263, 264. A text IVR. 5, col. i. compares each of the seven spirits to some animal.
The word is explained by a gloss, 'Shamash has made him great. I.e., the month in which one dies. See p. 175. See pp. 505, 506. Vorstellungen, p. 81. Psalms, vi. 6. See also Perrot and Chiplez, History of Art in Chaldaea and Assyria, I. 349 seq. Described by Schell in the Recucil de Travaux, etc., xx. nos. 1 and 2. Schell regards the Zurghul duplicate as older than the other.
The art was clearly Babylonian, and there was no reason to question the genuineness of the production. Quite recently a duplicate has been found at Zurghul, in Babylonia, so that all suspicions are removed. The bronze tablet contains on the one side, the figure of a monster with a lion-like face and body, but provided with huge wings.
With the exception of a few flint saw-blades from Warka , Fara, Zurghul, and Babylon , no similar remains had been found in Babylonia until, in 1918, Capt. The continued excavations carried out by Mr. H. R. Hall for the Museum in 1919 have produced more of the same evidence from both places, besides a new 'prehistoric' site at Tell el-Ma'abed or Tell el-'Obeid near Ur.
