380 For _en-me_ = _bêl parṣi_. Var. _umun me_. Here certainly a male
deity as _d__Nin-né_ = _Almu_, form of Nergal in V Raw. 21, 25. For
_Nin-né_ in the early period see ALLOTTE DE LA FUŸE, DP. 128 II 3.
But _Nin-né_ = _Nin-né-mal_ = Alamu, form of Allat sister Ninlil,
CT. 24, 10, 3, cf. V R. 21, 26.
381 Variant SBP. 158, 63 = SBH. 86, 63 reads _šanga-maģ abzu-ge_. For
the writing of _šanga_, see _Babylonian Liturgies_, p. XXII n. 2.
382 On variants _Duru-sug_, _Dúr-ru-si-ga_, see _Sum. Lit. Texts_ 174,
9.
383 Sic! Perhaps error for _ģa-mun_. See also CT. 24, 9, 40
_d__Ḫa-mun-sal(?)-sal?_. SBP. 158, 64.
384 Title of Shamash, CT. 25, 25, 11.
385 Title of Shamash here. Variant _d__Su-ud-ăm_ = Aja, CT. 25, 9, 25.
386 I. e. Aja.
387 So! Var. _mu-galam_, “of skilful name.”
388 See Var. _Sum. Lit. Texts_ 175, 10.
389 So Var. l. c. I. 11. See above, line 6.
390 Certainly these two underworld deities are intended in this line.
They occur together also in CT. 25, 5, 60-64. See also 25, 8, 14
where read Nin-_né_-da.
391 Two lines not on any variant.
392 Gula of Isin.
393 See for reading, _Sum. Lit. Texts_ 176, 5.
394 See _Babylonian Liturgies_ 96 n. 1.
395 For variants, see _Sum. Lit. Texts_ 177, 8.
396 Variant SBP. 160, 16 has another text. Other variants omit the line
altogether, KL. 8 IV 8; _Sum. Lit. Texts_, 177.
397 Cf. SBP. 74, 19 and 68, 5.
398 For this sign = REC. 46, see now K.L., 25 III 15. The two signs
_balag_ and _dup_ are distinguished clearly on this tablet; see Obv.
9 for _dup_. On the distinction of two original signs in Br. 7024,
see THUREAU-DANGIN, ZA. 15, 167; Chicago Syllabary 208 f., and PBS.
12 No. 11 Obv. Col. II 45 and 46 and page 13. Syl. B distinguishes
the two signs.
399 See RA. 11, 45 n. 5.
400 All father-mother names of Enlil, CT. 34, 3, 29 ff.
401 This Semitic rubric is unique in the published literature of
Sumerian liturgies. It indicates that the choristers should here
complete the long titular litany by reciting the titles of the
deities named in the litany given in full on the Berlin tablet; see
the preceding edition of K. L. 11 Rev. IV 1 ff.
402 For this rubric, see PBS. X 151 note 1.
403 For Enlil connected with the idea of light, see PBS. X 158 n. 1.
404 The pronoun refers apparently to _uru_ in line 15.
405 Text _na-an_!
406 The moon god was held to be the son of Enlil, SBP. 296, 5.
407 Cf. BL. 48, 23.
408 Text _DI_.
409 Same phrase in Ni. 14005, 24. See _Le Poème Sumèrien du Paradis_, p.
140.
410 For the interpretation, see RA. 12, 27 n. 5.
411 See for readings BL. 38, 9.
412 See also _Tablet Virolleaud_, Rev. end.
