See now also Albright's remarks on Sabitum in the A. J. S. L. 36, pp. 269 _seq._] CORRECTIONS TO THE TEXT OF LANGDON'S EDITION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA TABLET. [157] Column 1. 5. Read _it-lu-tim_ ("heroes") instead of _id-da-tim_ ("omens"). 6. Read _ka-ka-bu_ instead of _ka-ka-'a_. This disposes of Langdon's note 2 on p. 211. 9 Read _ú-ni-is-sú-ma_, "I became weak" (from _enêsu_, "weak") instead of _ilam is-sú-ma_, "He bore a net"(!). This disposes of Langdon's note 5 on page 211. 10. Read _Urukki_ instead of _ad-ki_. Langdon's note 7 is wrong. 12. Langdon's note 8 is wrong. _ú-um-mid-ma pu-ti_ does not mean "he attained my front." 14. Read _ab-ba-la-ás-sú_ instead of _at-ba-la-ás-sú_. 15. Read _mu-di-a-at_ instead of _mu-u-da-a-at_. 20. Read _ta-ha-du_ instead of an impossible _[sa]-ah-ha-ta_--two mistakes in one word. Supply _kima Sal_ before _tahadu_. 22. Read _ás-sú_ instead of _sú_; and at the end of the line read _[tu-ut]-tu-ú-ma_ instead of _sú-ú-zu_. 23. Read _ta-tar-ra-[as-su]_. 24. Read _[us]-ti-nim-ma_ instead of _[is]-ti-lam-ma_. 28. Read at the beginning _sá_ instead of _ina_. 29. Langdon's text and transliteration of the first word do not tally. Read _ha-as-si-nu_, just as in line 31. 32. Read _ah-ta-du_ ("I rejoiced") instead of _ah-ta-ta_. Column 2. 4. Read at the end of the line _di-da-sá(?) ip-tí-[e]_ instead of _Di-?-al-lu-un_ (!). 5. Supply _d_En-ki-du at the beginning. Traces point to this reading. 19. Read _[gi]-it-ma-[lu]_ after _d_Gis, as suggested by the Assyrian version, Tablet I, 4, 38, where _emûku_ ("strength") replaces _nepistu_ of our text. 20. Read _at-[ta kima Sal ta-ha]-bu-[ub]-sú_. 21. Read _ta-[ra-am-sú ki-ma]_. 23. Read as one word _ma-a-ag-ri-i-im_ ("accursed"), spelled in characteristic Hammurabi fashion, instead of dividing into two words _ma-a-ak_ and _ri-i-im_, as Langdon does, who suggests as a translation "unto the place yonder(?) of the shepherd"(!). 24. Read _im-ta-har_ instead of _im-ta-gar_. 32. Supply _ili_(?) after _ki-ma_. 33. Read _sá-ri-i-im_ as one word. 35. Read _i-na [ás]-ri-sú [im]-hu-ru_. 36. Traces at beginning point to either _ù_ or _ki_ (= _itti_). Restoration of lines 36-39 (perhaps to be distributed into five lines) on the basis of the Assyrian version, Tablet I, 4, 2-5. Column 3. 14. Read _Kàs_ (= _sikaram_, "wine") _si-ti_, "drink," as in line 17, instead of _bi-is-ti_, which leads Langdon to render this perfectly simple line "of the conditions and the fate of the land"(!). 21. Read _it-tam-ru_ instead of _it-ta-bir-ru_. 22. Supply _[lù_Sú]-I. 29. Read _ú-gi-ir-ri_ from _garû_ ("attack), instead of separating into _ú_ and _gi-ir-ri_, as Langdon does, who translates "and the lion." The sign used can _never_ stand for the copula! Nor is _girru_, "lion!" 30. Read _Síbmes_, "shepherds," instead of _sab-[si]-es_!
