480 SBP. 236.
481 SBP. 140.
482 SBP. 226=SBH. No. 18.
483 The first line, together with its Semitic translation, is identical
with the first line of the third tablet of the series _muten
nu-nunuz-gim_, see SBP. 140. Otherwise the melodies differ.
484 The refrain _ù-li-li_ apparently provides an incomplete sentence.
485 Cf. SBH. No. 84, 13, there a title of the river goddess.
486 Lines 10-13 form a duplicate of SBH. No. 25, Rev. 2-5 = SBP. 122.
_ 487 si-mă_, literally _karnānu_, the horned, referring to the new-moon.
The variant SBP. 296, 1 has _má-gúr_, the crescent boat. Undoubtedly
_má-gúr_ should be rendered by _nannaru_ in this passage.
488 See BL. p. 132.
489 I. e. Sin himself is the author of Nippur’s sorrows.
490 Glossed _ki_.
_ 491 LAḪ_; transcription and interpretation uncertain.
492 Hereby is established the reading _pa(g)-dà = mûdu, kapdu_. Probably
a kind of augurer.
493 Probably tautological writing for _lallaģ = itabbulu_, Voc. Hittite
7509.
494 Cf. the first melody of the Ninurta series _gū-ud nim kur-ra_; see
SBP. 226; BL. No. 9 and SBH. 40.
495 Similar passages have _é-šár-ra_ (SBP. 226, 8; SBH. 40, 8) chapel of
Ninlil in Ekur (SBP. 221 n. 7).
496 Temple of Ninurta in Nippur. A syllabary recently published by
SCHEIL (RA. 14, 174 I. 7) explains the name by _bit gi-mir par-ṣi
hammu_, Temple which executes the totality of decrees. Note,
however, the epithet _é i-dé-ila_ = _bit niš înê_, House of the
lifting of the eyes, SBP. 208, 11.
497 In any case an epithet of the temple of _Urta_ in Dilbat,
_Ibe-__ilu__Anum_. For this reading _I-be_ see vars. _I-bi_, Im-bi,
BL. p. 134. The word _ibi_ is probably Sumerian for _igi_, and shows
that the phonetic rendering _i-de_ is erroneous. The dialectic
pronunciation of _igi_ was _ibe_ and despite the Semitic variant
_imbi_ the name is apparently Sumerian _Ibe-Anu_, Temple of the eye
of Anu. Here _šu-gúd_ is an epithet for Anu, i. e. the lofty.
498 See also SBH. 132, 46; BL. No. 56 Rev. 31; CRAIG, RT. 20, 30. This
text has a variant _a_ for _di_.
499 Probably part of the great city Isin, see SBP. 160 n. 7.
500 Probably variant of _é-dŭr = adurû, kapru_, village, city, POEBEL,
PBS. V 106 IV 30; see also II Raw. 52, 61 f. Note the similar title
of the city of Bau _uru-azag-ga_ in SAK. 274; BL. 147. Here the
title refers to Isin not Lagash.
501 Cf. CRAIG, RT. II 16, 18 _d__Ama-ŠU-ḪAL-BI-ta_.
