[Footnote 133: See p. 65, Fig. 21.]
[Footnote 134: In some temples, as in E-zida, the temple of Nabû at
Borsippa, and in the earliest remains of E-sagila (see below, pp. 71
ff.), semicircular fillets take the place of sunken grooves.]
[Footnote 135: Fig. 20, A. The description may be followed by means of
the index letters and figures on the plan, which are explained below
it.]
[Footnote 136: In Fig. 20 the passage is numbered 11 and 12.]
[Footnote 137: They are so narrow that they can hardly have served as
store-chambers.]
[Footnote 138: See Fig. 21.]
[Footnote 139: The grave was hollowed out of the massive brickwork of
the outer wall, in the extreme north-west corner of the palace.]
[Footnote 140: Cf. "Babylon," p. 118 f.; Engl. ed., p. 110 f.]
[Footnote 141: In the ground-plans, which are here reproduced, the same
lettering is employed, as far as they correspond, for the principal
features of each building.]
[Footnote 142: It will be noticed that this orientation is least
apparent in E-sagila (see below, p. 74, Fig. 27), and in the temple of
Ishtar of Akkad (Fig. 25).]
[Footnote 143: Cf. Weissbach, "Babylonische Miscellen," p. 20 f., II.
17-21.]
[Footnote 144: See above, p. 23, Fig. 3, E.]
[Footnote 145: See p. 74, Fig. 27, C.]
[Footnote 146: See Rawlinson, "Cim. Inscr. West. Asia," I., pl. 67,
Col. I., 11. 21 ff., and cf. Bezold in Schrader's "Keilins. Bibl.,"
III., ii., p. 72 f., and Langdon, "Neubab. Königsinschriften," p. 210
f.]
[Footnote 147: The main entrance to the temple was approached through
an annex on the east (Fig. 27, D), of which the external walls only
have been traced by tunnelling, while its interior remains still
unexplored. It will be noted in the plan that the main entrance to the
annex is again on the east side, marked by a recess in the enclosing
wall, almost opposite the main entrance to the temple. The approach to
the annex was doubtless by a branch of the Procession Street, which
must have left the principal roadway opposite entrance No. 4 of the
Peribolos (see Fig. 27).]
[Footnote 148: Cf. "East India House Inscr.," Col. II., 11. 43 ff., and
Col. III., 11. 21 ff.]
[Footnote 149: The κἀτω νηός, to distinguish it from that on the
temple-tower.]
[Footnote 150: I., 183.]
[Footnote 151: Cf. Koldewey, "Babylon," p. 202 f.; Engl, ed., p. 207.]
[Footnote 152: Cf. Koldewey, "Die Tempel von Babylon und Borsippa," p.
43.]
[Footnote 153: See above, p. 23, Fig. 3, Q.]
[Footnote 154: Marked A, A, A in Fig. 27.]
[Footnote 155: Cf. Koldewey, "Babylon," p. 185; Engl, ed., p. 190.
Some idea of the probable appearance of the immense enclosure may be
gathered from the reconstruction in Fig. 28.]
