[Footnote 21: They are the months Teritum, Kinunu, and Birizzarru. For other West-Semitic month-names, cf. "Letters of Hammurabi," p. xxxvi. f., n.; the majority of the "seltenere Monatsnamen," referred to by Schorr, "Urkunden," p. 577, are to be included in this category.] [Footnote 22: The votive inscription of Shamshi-Adad IV. (see above, p. 129, n. 1) records its restoration.] [Footnote 23: We find at Khana such personal names as Amursha-Dagan, Iazi-Dagan, Turi-Dagan, Bitti-Dagan and Iashma(?)-Dagan, in addition to the city-name Ia'mu-Dagan; cf. Unguad, _op. cit.,_ p. 27 f.] [Footnote 24: Cf. Poebel, "Historical Texts," p. 137.] [Footnote 25: Cf. Breasted, "History of Egypt," pp. 215 ff.] [Footnote 26: Cf. "Sumer and Akkad," p. 304.] [Footnote 27: The tradition to this effect, which was incorporated in the later augural literature (cf. Boissier, "Choix de textes," II., p. 64; and Meissner, "Orient. Lit.-Zeit.," 1907, col. 114, n. 1) may be accepted as historically accurate; cf. "Sumer and Akkad," p. 304.] [Footnote 28: Cf. Huber, "Die Personennamen ... aus der Zeit der Könige von Ur und Nîsin" (1907), _passim._ It was this fact that at one time seemed to suggest the probability that the kings of Nîsin, like the bulk of their subjects, may have been Sumerians (cf. "Sumer and Akkad," p. 303); but we may preferably regard them as representing the first wave of the movement which was soon to flood Northern Babylonia.] [Footnote 29: Cf. Hilprecht, "Math., Met., and Chron. Tablets," p. 46 f., pl. 30, No. 47.] [Footnote 30: See Scheil, "Rec. de trav.," XVI., pp. 187 ff.] [Footnote 31: Cf. "Cun. Texts in the Brit. Mus.," XXI., pl. 20 f.] [Footnote 32: In the dynastic Kings' List published by Hilprecht, "Math., Met., and Chron. Tablets," pl. 30, No. 47, Libit-Ishtar is stated to have been Ishme-Dagan's son; but on another, recently published by Poebel, he is stated to have been Idin-Dagan's son, and so the brother of Ishme-Dagan (cf. "Historical Texts," pp. 94, 137).] [Footnote 33: Cf. "Cun. Texts in the Brit. Mus.," XXI., pl. 22.] [Footnote 34: Cf. Poebel, "Historical Texts," p. 138; he also notes the fact that Ur-Ninib successfully raided the country of Zabshali on the east of Babylonia.] [Footnote 35: See "Cun. Texts," IV., pl. 22, No. 78, 395: and Ranke, "Orient. Lit.-Zeit.," 1907, col. 109 ff.] [Footnote 36: Cf. "Sumer and Akkad," p. 315 f.] [Footnote 37: Cf. "Chronicles concerning Early Babylonian Kings," II., p. 14. The Ilu-shûma, the father of Irishum or Erishu, who is referred to in building-inscriptions of Shalmaneser I. and Esarhaddon (_op. cit.,_ I., pp. 118 ff.), is probably to be regarded as a later ruler than Sumu-abum's contemporary.]
