[18] _Shargani_, the first part of the name Shar-Gani-sharri, was equated with _Sharru_-GI-NA (=ukîn), and the second part of the name, read as _shar-ali_, "king of the city" was regarded as having been dropped by a process of abbreviation. [19] See Gautier, "Recueil de travaux," Vol. XXVII., pp. 176 ff., and Scheil, "Textes Élam.-Sémit.," IV., pp. 4 ff. [20] See above, Chap. V., pp. 125, 130 ff. [21] See above, p. 217, n. 1. [22] See Scheil, "Textes Élam.-Sémit," IV., pp. 4 ff. [23] See Thureau-Dangin, "Orient. Lit.-Zeit.," 1908, col. 313 ff.; cf. also King, "Proc. Soc. Bibl. Arch.," Vol. XXX. (1908), pp. 239 ff. [24] See above, p. 203. [25] See above, p. 203 f. [26] See King, _op. cit._, p. 240 f. M. Thureau-Dangin has since examined the text at Constantinople, and he confirms the restoration. [27] Cf.

[33] The warlike expedition to Dêr (Dûr-ilu), which is referred to in the Legend of Sargon (see "Chronicles," Vol. II., p. 92), may possibly be connected with this campaign of Shar-Gani-sharri. [34] See above, p. 205, and below, pp. 231, 243 f. [35] "Comptes rendus," 1896, p. 359, No. 6; "Recueil de tablettes," p. 56, No. 118. [36] "Chronicles," II., p. 8, l. 18.

[40] Though we have no direct evidence in his case, Sharru-Gi may well have been the founder of his dynasty; the absence of his father's name from the genealogy in the Constantinople text and the cruciform monument accords with this suggestion. Shar-Gani-sharri ascribes no title to his father Dâti-Enlil (see further, p. 232). [41] Cf. Scheil, "Textes Élam.-Sémit.," I., pp. 16, 26.
