Anu and Ishtar," where Ishtar is clearly a later addition. Leaving aside lines 60-61, which may be merely a variant (though independent) of line 39 of column 4 of the Assyrian version, we now have in the Pennsylvania tablet a second speech of the woman to Enkidu (not represented in the Assyrian version) beginning like the first one with _alka_, "Come" (lines 62-63), in which she asks Enkidu to leave the "accursed ground" in which he dwells. This speech, as the description which follows, extending into columns 3-4, and telling how the woman clothed Enkidu, how she brought him to the sheep folds, how she taught him to eat bread and to drink wine, and how she instructed him in the ways of civilization, must have been included in the second tablet of the Assyrian version which has come down to us in a very imperfect form. Nor is the scene in which Enkidu and Gilgamesh have their encounter found in the preserved portions of the second (or possibly the third) tablet of the Assyrian version, but only a brief reference to it in the fourth tablet, [138] in which in Epic style the story is repeated, leading up to the second exploit--the joint campaign of Enkidu and Gilgamesh against Huwawa. This reference, covering only seven lines, corresponds to lines 192-231 of the Pennsylvania tablet; but the former being the repetition and the latter the original recital, the comparison to be instituted merely reveals again the independence of the Assyrian version, as shown in the use of _kibsu_, "tread" (IV, 2, 46), for _sêpu_, "foot" (l. 216), _i-na-us_, "quake" (line 5C), as against _ir-tu-tu_ (ll. 221 and 226). Such variants as _d_Gish êribam ûl iddin (l. 217) against _d_Gilgamesh ana surûbi ûl namdin, (IV, 2, 47). and again _issabtûma kima lîm_ "they grappled at the gate of the family house" (IV, 2, 48), against _issabtûma ina bâb bît emuti_, "they grappled at the gate of the family house" (IV, 2, 48), all point once more to the literary independence of the Assyrian version. The end of the conflict and the reconciliation of the two heroes is likewise missing in the Assyrian version. It may have been referred to at the beginning of column 3 [139] of Tablet IV.
