Line 1. The verb _tibû_ with _pasâru_ expresses the aim of Gish to secure an interpretation for his dream. This disposes of Langdon's note 1 on page 211 of his edition, in which he also erroneously speaks of our text as "late." _Pasâru_ is not a variant of _zakâru_. Both verbs occur just as here in the Assyrian version I, 5, 25. Line 3. _ina sât musitia_, "in this my night," i.e., in the course of this night of mine. A curious way of putting it, but the expression occurs also in the Assyrian version, e.g., I, 5, 26 (parallel passage to ours) and II, 4a, 14. In the Yale tablet we find, similarly, _mu-si-it-ka_ (l. 262), "thy night," i.e., "at night to thee." Line 5. Before Langdon put down the strange statement of Gish "wandering about in the midst of omens" (misreading _id-da-tim _ for _it-lu-tim_), he might have asked himself the question, what it could possibly mean. How can one walk among omens? Line 6. _ka-ka-bu sá-ma-i_ must be taken as a compound term for "starry heaven." The parallel passage in the Assyrian version (Tablet I, 5, 27) has the ideograph for star, with the plural sign as a variant. Literally, therefore, "The starry heaven (or "the stars in heaven") was there," etc. Langdon's note 2 on page 211 rests on an erroneous reading. Line 7. _kisru sá Anim_, "mass of Anu," appears to be the designation of a meteor, which might well be described as a "mass" coming from Anu, i.e., from the god of heaven who becomes the personification of the heavens in general. In the Assyrian version (I, 5, 28) we have _kima ki-is-rù_, i.e., "something like a mass of heaven." Note also I, 3, 16, where in a description of Gilgamesh, his strength is said to be "strong like a mass (i.e., a meteor) of heaven." Line 9. For _nussasu ûl iltê_ we have a parallel in the Hebrew phrase NLE'ETIY NS' (Isaiah 1, 14). Line 10. _Uruk mâtum_, as the designation for the district of Erech, occurs in the Assyrian version, e.g., I, 5, 31, and IV, 2, 38; also to be supplied, I, 6, 23. For _pahir_ the parallel in the Assyrian version has _iz-za-az_ (I, 5, 31), but VI, 197, we find _pah-ru_ and _pah-ra_. Line 17. _mi-in-di_ does not mean "truly" as Langdon translates, but "some one." It occurs also in the Assyrian version X, 1, 13, _mi-in-di-e ma-an-nu-u_, "this is some one who," etc. Line 18. Cf. Assyrian version I, 5, 3, and IV, 4, 7, _ina siri âlid_--both passages referring to Enkidu. Line 21. Cf. Assyrian version II, 3b, 38, with _malkê_, "kings," as a synonym of _itlutum_. Line 23. _ta-tar-ra-as-sú_ from _tarâsu_, "direct," "guide," etc. Line 24. I take _us-ti-nim-ma_ as III, 2, from _isênu_ (YOSEN), the verb underlying _sittu_, "sleep," and _suttu_, "dream." Line 26. Cf. Assyrian version I, 6, 21--a complete parallel.
