Akkadians; Babylonia -- History; Sumerians
[31] They are collected and translated by Thureau-Dangin,
"Königsinschriften," pp. 2 ff.
[32] "Découvertes en Chaldée," p. xxxvii., No. 10.
[33] See above, p. 90 f. Other divisions of Lagash were Ninâ,
Uru-azagga and Uru.
[34] See above, p. 107.
[35] The reading of the second half of the name is uncertain. The two
signs which form the name were provisionally read by Amiaud as Dun-sir
("Records of the Past," N.S., I., p. 59), and by Jensen as Shul-gur
(cf. Schrader's "Keilinschriftliche Bibliothek," Bd. III., Hft. 1, p.
18 f.); see also Thureau-Dangin, "Rev. d'Assyr." III., p. 119, n. 5,
and Radau, "Early Bab. Hist.," p. 92, n. 18.
[36] See below, pp. 168 f., 177.
[37] For a description of his principal storehouse or magazine, the
remains of which have been found at Tello, see above, pp. 91 ff.
[38] See below, p. 169.
[39] See the opposite plate and the illustrations on p. 113 f.
[40] Cf. Meyer, "Sumerier und Semiten," p. 77.
[41] Dudu's block was probably let into solid masonry or brickwork,
while the plaques of Ur-Ninâ would have rested on the surface of altars
built of brick; cf. Heuzey, "Découvertes en Chaldée," p. 204.
[42] See the plate opposite p. 110.
[43] See above, p. 41 f.
[44] See the plate opposite p. 138.
[45] So, for instance, Radau, "Early Bab. History," p. 70.
[46] The figure, which is in the Louvre, was not found at Tello, but
was purchased at Shatra, so that its provenance is not certain.
[47] See Radau, _op. cit._, p. 70, and cp. Genouillac, "Tablettes
sumériennes archaïques," p. xi.
[48] See the similar figure on a fragment of shell, illustrated on p.
41.
[49] Cf. Radau, "Early Bab. History," p. 71.
[50] Cf. Genouillac, "Tablettes sumériennes archaïques," pp. xxii. ff.
[51] See above, p. 105.
[52] "Déc. en Chaldée," p. xl., Col. II.
[53] _Op. cit._, p. xlvii.
[54] Col. II., l. 9.
[55] "Déc. en Chaldée," p. xliii., Col. VIII.
[56] See above, p. 106, n. 1.
