The cylinder was bought by Major Pottinger, but afterwards lost.
The inscription seems to read: _AN Nin(?)-zi-in Su-lukh(?)-me-am-el
Khi-ti-sa ARAD-na_--“To the god Nin(?)-zin, Sulukh-ammel (?) son of
Khiti, his servant.”
[155] The Etruscan monument is described by Deecke, _Das Templum von
Piacenza_ (_Etruskische Forschungen_, iv. 1880) and _Etruskische
Forschungen und Studien_, part ii. (1882). For the Babylonian
prototype, see Boissier, _Note sur un Monument babylonien se rapportant
â l’extispicine_ (1899).
[156] Labbawa, or Labawa, is written Labbaya in the letter which is in
the Arzawan language.
[157] A copy of the text (Louvre, C 1) is given by Professor Breasted
in the _American Journal of Semitic Languages and Literature_,
xxi. 3 (1905). The determinative attached to the name is not that of
“country” but of “going,” showing that the scribe supposed the name to
be connected with some otherwise unknown word that signified “to go,”
just as in Gen. xxiii. “The sons of Heth” are supposed by the Hebrew
writer to derive their name from the Hebrew _khath_, “terror.”
Transcriber’s Notes:
1. Obvious printers’, punctuation and spelling errors have been
corrected silently.
