A single fragment which Mr. Smith believed to belong to this tablet has been found; it is K 3389, and contains part of the third and fourth columns of writing. It appears from this that Izdubar was then at Erech, and had a curious dream. He thought he saw the stars of heaven fall to the ground, and in their descent they struck upon his back. He then saw standing over him a terrible being, the aspect of whose face was fierce, and who was armed with claws, like the claws of lions. The greater part of the description of the dream is lost; it probably occupied Columns I. and II. of the second tablet. Thinking that the dream portended some fate to himself, Izdubar calls on all the wise men to explain it, and offers a reward to any one who can interpret the dream. Here the fragment K 3389 comes in: COLUMN III. 1. .... _ru kili_ I .... 2. .... he and the princes may he ... 3. .... in the vicinity send him, 4. .... may they ennoble his family, 5. .... at the head of his feast may he set thee 6. .... may he array thee in jewels and gold 7. .... may he enclose thee 8. .... in his .... seat thee 9. into the houses of the gods may he cause thee to enter 10. .... seven wives 11. .... cause illness in his stomach 12. .... went up alone 13. .... his heaviness to his friend 14. .... a dream I dreamed in my sleep 15. .... the stars of heaven fell to the earth 16. .... I stood still 17. .... his face 18. .... his face was terrible 19. .... like the claws of a lion, were his claws. 20. .... the strength in me 21. .... he slew 22. .... me 23. .... over me 24. .... corpse .... The first part of this fragment appears to recount the honours offered by Izdubar to any one who should interpret the dream. These included the ennobling of his family, his recognition in assemblies, his being invested with jewels of honour, and his wives being increased. A description of the dream of the hero, much mutilated, follows. The conduct of Nebuchadnezzar in the Book of Daniel, with reference to his dreams, bears some resemblance to that of Izdubar. After this fragment we have again a blank in the story, and it would appear that in this interval application was made to a nondescript creature named Hea-bani that he would go to the city of Erech and interpret the dream of Izdubar.
