FOOTNOTES
1 In addition to the examples of epical poems and hymns cited on pages
103-5 of this volume note the long mythological hymn to Innini, No.
3 and the hymn to Enlil, No. 10 of this part. An unpublished hymn to
Enlil, Ni. 9862, ends _a-a __d__En-lil zag-sal_, “O praise father
Enlil.” For Ni. 13859, cited above p. 104, see POEBEL, PBS. V No.
26.
2 So far as the term is properly applied. Being of didactic import it
was finally attached to grammatical texts in the phrase _d__Nidaba
zag-sal_, “O praise Nidaba,” i. e., praise the patroness of writing.
3 POEBEL, PBS. V No. 25; translated in the writer’s _Le Poème Sumérien
du Paradis_, 220-257. Note also a similar epical poem to Innini
partial duplicate of POEBEL No. 25 in MYHRMAN’S _Babylonian Hymns
and Prayers_, No. 1. Here also the principal actors are Enki, his
messenger Isimu, and “Holy Innini” as in the better preserved epic.
Both are poems on the exaltation of Innini.
4 Ni. 9205 published by BARTON, _Miscellaneous Babylonian
Inscriptions_, No. 4. This text is restored by a tablet of the late
period published by PINCHES in JRAS. 1919.
5 Ni. 7847, published in this part, No. 3 and partially translated on
pages 260-264.
