_ 578 Zû_, the eagle, bird of the blazing sun, Ninurta, Ningirsu, is the only emblematic animal that figures as a deity. The myth of his conflict with the serpent in the story of Etana dramatizes the old legend of the conflict between sun and clouds. He appears in magic here for the first time. 579 See Vab. IV 154, 44 and note. _ 580 šu_ here for _ša_, feminine. The form should be dual. 581 Gunu of _MA_ = _tittu_; Sumerian _peš_, value also assigned to _MA_ = _tittu_ in the Chicago Syllabar, 115 f. _ 582 kīṣu_, compensation for _kiṣṣu_. See also STRASSMAIER, _Nabonidus_ 699, 24, _ki-ṣu_. Note that the _ḫulduppu_ (probably an image of a scapegoat) symbol of Kuši is placed opposite the door in ZIM. Rt. p. 168, 29. 583 CLAY, _Personal Names of the Cassite Period_, mentions a deity _Si-lak-ku-ku_(?). In any case a Cassite deity not mentioned in Babylonian lists and texts. 584 Otherwise unknown. A Cassite deity(?). 585 Probably same as _Abagal_, DEIMEL, _Pantheon_, p. 43. 586 Cf. ZIMMERN, 27 R. 14-17. 587 Written NU. Cf. ZIMMERN, 27 Rev. I 19. 588 Cf. _ibid._ 21. 589 Sign is _ḪU-gunu_ an error for _SI-gunu_. Only the latter sign has the values bright, burn. Line 8 proves that the sign is based on _SI_. _ 590 nīn-muš_. The sign _ŠEŠ_ has the value _muš_. Note SAI. 2629 the gloss _ga-an-ŠEŠ_ and variant _Chicago Syllabar_ 212 _ga-an-muš_. See also JRAS. 1905, 81-4-28 l. 14. For _muš = banû_ cf. SAI. 1916. 591 This is a real library note and is clear evidence for assuming that the temple of Nippur possessed a library, at least in the Cassite period. For similar library notes on the tablets from Aššur, see RA. 13, 99. Note also the Smith Esagila tablet published by SCHEIL, _Memoires de l’Academie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres XXXIX_, Rev. 7, _mûdû mûdâ likallim la mûdâ ul immar an pî duppi gabri Barsip-ki šaṭir-ma UB-ṬU ù ba-ri_. For _an pi (KA)_, see RA. 13, 92.
