551 Written _sìg dar-a_.
552 The name of this deity is not legible in ZIMMERN’S variant and the
first sign of the name on the Nippur text is doubtful but apparently
the _šeššig_ and _gunu_ of _Galu_, that is REC. 100 later _RAB+GAN_,
(v. SAI. p. 155 note 1). After this sign ZIMMERN and I have seen a
sign _KU_ or _ŠU_. _Labartu_ is usually written _RAB+GAN-ME_. Here
we may have to do with some new ideogram for this deity. She is the
daughter of Anu, HAUPT, ASKT. 94, 59. A prayer to the daughter of
Anu is KING, _Magic_ No. 61, 5-21.

incense, CT. 29, 50, 9; _ḳutari ša šipti_, incense pertaining to the
ritual of the incantation, _ibid._ 20. _ḳutari_ is a plural form
employed to denote several acts of fumigation.

to ne-su(n)_ gloss on the star _Ne-sùn_; son of Ninlil, hence a star
in Ninlil’s constellation Ursa Major, VIROLLEAUD, _Sin_ XIII 22.
558 Perhaps _igi-sig-sig_; cf. CT. 24, 3, 25.
559 In ZA. VI 242, 19, symbol of Enlil. But CT. 16, 24, 25 hero of Anu.

under the protection of Kushu. See Rev. I 6.

ḳa-[gaz_].
