414 For Ninharsag at Keš, see also SAK. 14 XVIII 6. Another title of the
goddess at Keš is Ninmah, SAK. 237e.
415 Here the god of Opis is given as Igidu, a form of Nergal. In this
late text Opis on the Tigris at Seleucia is probably intended. The
southern Keš and Opis were imitated in Akkad, at any rate in later
times, and Keš was apparently confused with Kiš which gave rise to a
second Kiš in Akkad. The ancient and historical Kiš at Oheimer on
the canal of the Euphrates should not be confused with Kiš
corruption for the new Keš near Seleucia.
416 The god _Igi-du_ of Keš is identified with Ninurta as were most of
the male satellites of the mother goddesses in various cities. CT.
25, 24 K. 8219, 17+K. 7620, 18, _d__Igi-du_ = _d__Nin-urta_.
According to CT. 25, 12, 17 it is one of the titles of Ninurta in
Elam. But in CT. 24, 36, 52 _d__Igi-du_ is a form of Nergal, and in
the omen text, BOISSIER, DA. 238, 10 he is explained as
_d._Meslamtaèa, a form of Nergal.
417 Or perhaps Negun. See below.
418 BL. 72, 14. Here Keš or Kisa is written with the ideogram for Opis.
419 CT. 25, 12, 23. See SBP. 156, 39.
420 SAK. 118 XXVII 2.
421 A temple _é-an-za-kar_ is assigned to Opis in POEBEL, PBS. V 157, 8
and ZIMMERN, KL. 199 Rev. I 37 (here without _é_). This temple can
hardly be the one which forms the subject of the liturgy on the
Ashmolean Prism.
422 Published by BARTON, _Miscellaneous Religious Texts_.
423 A new copy of the Ashmolean Prism is published in the _Revue
d’Assyriologie_, Vol. XVI.
424 Cf. BA. V 707, 7.
425 Probably for _gud-NINDA=bîru, mîru_.
426 Var. _na_.
427 Some verb seems to be missing here. The construction is obscure.
428 So the prism.
429 Var. _ni_.
430 Variant Constple. omits _ki_.
431 Cf. _ki-gim rib-ba_ = _kima irṣitim šûtuḳat_, DELITZSCH, AL3 134, 5.
_KAL_ (_ri-ib_) = _šûtuḳu_, Chicago Syllabar 287; _rib_ = _šutuḳḳu_,
CT. 19, 11, 12; _nam-kalag-ga-ni rib-ba_ = _dannussu šûtuḳat_, IV
Raw. 24_a_ 48; _ana-gim ki-gim rib-ba-zu-ne_ = _ša kima šamê u
irṣitim šûtugata_, SBP. 250, 6. See also EBELING, KTA. 32, 5,
_rib-ba_ = _šu-tu-ḳu_.
432 The meaning is obscure. For the suggested rendering cf. _en me-a
túm-ma_, the lord who cares for the decrees, SAK. 204, 6.
433 For this emphatic verbal prefix cf. DELITZSCH, AL3, 134, 5; ZIMMERN,
KL. 68 Rev. 24.
434 I. e. Nintud. For _ummu_ in the sense of “mother goddess” note CT.
16, 36, 1-9 where the various mothers of Eridu, Kullab, Keš, Lagash
and Šuruppak are invoked. The reference here is undoubtedly to
Ninlil as the mother of Negun, SBP. 156, 39.
_ 435 a-ba_ = _arka_, and then. The same phrase in BE. 31, 2, 7 and for
_aba_, see especially _Sum. Gr._ § 241. _er-du(ģ)_ probably variant
of _er-du_ = _damāmu_.
