323 It is not certain that this melody ended here. Possibly all the
titles in lines 19-27 followed here with the refrain
_am-ma-ab-túg-e_. At any rate the traces of a last line on SBH. 44
are those of the last line of this melody. There is not space enough
on SBH. 44 after line 37 for more than the lines 31-40 supplied
above for we must make some allowance for the interlinear Semitic
translations in the break on SBH. 44.
_ 324 šubat pirišti._ This sanctuary at Nippur is mentioned in BE. 29 No.
5 Obv. 11; _dù-sag_ in KL. 64 II 4 and III 6.
325 End of the sixth melody.
326 Heart is used here in the sense “wrath.”
327 Cf. SBP. 98, 40 f.
328 Cf. SBP. 98, 44; 124, 19.
329 Cf. SBP. 38, 13.
330 Cf. _ibid._ 98, 48.
331 In case the tablet possessed five columns like KL. 25 then this
column is Rev. III. I know of no _four_ column tablets of similar
kind.
_ 332 sag_ began a refrain which followed the titles of Enlil, Ea, etc.
and ended with this line. See Obv. I 21-31, etc.
333 Cf. SBP. 82, 47.
334 A title of Egalmah in Isin, SBH. 94, 29 = SBP. 186, 29.
335 Either DAM or _SAL + KU_ (sister) must be expected, since we have
obviously a reference to Aruru here.
336 Sic! An error for _en-ne_? See SBP. 120, 1. Perhaps _dé_ = _te_,
“where?” strengthened by _en_ = _adi_.
337 The following melody has been restored from the late variant SBP. p.
120.
338 Glossed _gú-da_.
339 Semitic _lu-uk-mi-is-su_, glossed _kamû_. _kamû_, “to bind,” is the
natural rendering of _lal_. The Semitic should perhaps be neglected
as faulty and the Sumerian rendered, “Like a wild ox by the mighty
one I am hobbled.”
340 Lines 21-26 may not have stood in the ancient liturgy.
341 Here begins variant 81-7-27, 203 = BA. X 87.
342 Nippur.
343 Beginning of a melody of a weeping mother series, BL. p. 94, 12. It
is not certain that this melody stood in the ancient text. See for
the text 81-7-28, 203 (= 78239) in this volume.
344 Cf. SBH. 132, 27.
345 The duplicate, MEEK, NO. 11, has here another melody not a titular
litany. This text does not belong to the _e-lum gud-sun_ series.
346 This title of Uraša remains unexplained. In all other examples
_d__Uraša ki-še-gu-nu-ra_, SBP. 150, 6; 90, 20; K. 3931 Rev. 29; KL.
17 Rev. II 6. Perhaps also Gudea, Cyl. B 19, 13 is to be restored
_ki-še-gu-[nu-ra]_.
347 Father-mother names of Enlil, IV Raw. 1_b_ 17 f.
348 Enlil names, CT. 24, 4, 24 f.
349 Enlil, CT. 24, 4, 20.
350 Usually _me-šár-ra_. Enlil name, CT. 24, 4, 26. Not originally
associated with Nergal. See _Historical and Religious Texts_, p. 35.
351 Here both titles of Ninlil. Variant _nin-zíd-an-na_, PSBA. 1911, 233
n. 39.
352 See previous footnote.
353 Originally title of Enlil, CT. 24, 25, 97 = 13, 42. Usually Marduk
as Jupiter.
