[124] According to Professor Clay, quite certainly Amurru, just as in the case of Enkidu. [125] Gressmann in Ungnad-Gressmann, _Das Gilgamesch-Epos_, p. 100 _seq._ touches upon this _motif_, but fails to see the main point that the companions are also twins or at least brothers. Hence such examples as Abraham and Lot, David and Jonathan, Achilles and Patroclus, Eteokles and Polyneikes, are not parallels to Gilgamesh-Enkidu, but belong to the _enlargement_ of the _motif_ so as to include companions who are _not_ regarded as brothers. [126] Or Romus. See Rendell Harris, l. c., p. 59, note 2. [127] One might also include the primeval pair Yama-Yami with their equivalents in Iranian mythology (Carnoy, _Iranian Mythology_, p. 294 _seq._). [128] Becoming, however, a triad and later increased to seven. Cf. Rendell Harris, l. c., p. 32. [129] I am indebted to my friend, Professor A. J. Carnoy, of the University of Louvain, for having kindly gathered and placed at my disposal material on the "twin-brother" _motif_ from Indo-European sources, supplemental to Rendell Harris' work. [130] On the other hand, _Uruk mâtum_ for the district of Erech, i.e., the territory over which the city holds sway, appears in both versions (Pennsylvania tablet, 1. 10 = Assyrian version I, 5, 36). [131] "My likeness" (line 27). It should be noted, however, that lines 32-44 of I, 5, in Jensen's edition are part of a fragment K 9245 (not published, but merely copied by Bezold and Johns, and placed at Jensen's disposal), which may represent a _duplicate_ to I, 6, 23-34, with which it agrees entirely except for one line, viz., line 34 of K 9245 which is not found in column 6, 23-34. If this be correct, then there is lacking after line 31 of column 5, the interpretation of the dream given in the Pennsylvania tablet in lines 17-23. [132] _ina sap-li-ki_, literally, "below thee," whereas in the old Babylonian version we have _ana si-ri-ka_, "towards thee." [133] Repeated I, 6, 28. [134] _ul-tap-rid ki-is-su-sú-ma_. The verb is from _parâdu_, "violent." For _kissu_, "strong," see _CT_ XVI, 25, 48-49. Langdon (_Gilgamesh Epic_, p. 211, note 5) renders the phrase: "he shook his murderous weapon!!"--another illustration of his haphazard way of translating texts. [135] Shown by the colophon (Jeremias, _Izdubar-Nimrod_, Plate IV.) [136] Lines 42-43 must be taken as part of the narrative of the compiler, who tells us that after the woman had informed Enkidu that Gilgamesh already knew of Enkidu's coming through dreams interpreted by Ninsun, Gilgamesh actually set out and encountered Enkidu. [137] Tablet I, col. 4. See also above, p. 19. [138] IV, 2, 44-50. The word _ullanum_, (l.43) "once" or "since," points to the following being a reference to a former recital, and not an original recital. [139] Only the lower half (Haupt's edition, p. 82) is preserved. [140] "The eyes of Enkidu were filled with tears," corresponding to IV, 4, 10.
