Thus Kharbi-Sipak, a Kassite or Kossæan, from the western mountains of Elam, is called a ‘Khabirâ’ (W. A. I. iv. 34, 2, 5). The name is probably connected with that of Khapir or Âpir, originally applied to the district in which Mal-Amir is situated, south-east of Susa, but afterwards in the Persian period extended to the whole of Elam (see my memoir on the _Inscriptions of Mal-Amir_ in the Transactions of the Sixth Oriental Congress at Leyden, vol. ii.). Kharbi-Sipak himself, however, seems to have been employed by the Assyrian king in Palestine in the neighbourhood of the cities of Arqa and Zaqqal (Hommel in the _Proceedings_ of the Society of Biblical Archæology, May 1895, p. 203). Footnote 6: W. A. I. ii. 50, 51 (where Khubur is said to be a synonym of Subarti). Footnote 7: W. A. I. ii. 51, 4. Footnote 8: Hommel, _The ancient Hebrew Tradition as illustrated by the Monuments_, pp. 196, 245-262, 323-327; Glaser in the _Mittheilungen_ of the Vorderasiatische Gesellschaft, ii. 1897. Footnote 9: K 3500. Footnote 10: That _Ebir-nâri_ signified the country west of the Euphrates in the later days of Babylonian history is shown by a contract-tablet, dated in the third year of Darius Hystaspis, and translated by Peiser (_Keilinschriftliche Bibliothek_, iv. p. 305), in which mention is made of ‘Ustanni, the governor of Babylon and Ebir-nâri’ (line 2). Meissner (_Zeitschrift für Alttestament_, _Wissenschaft_, xvii.) has pointed out that Ustanni is the Tatnai of Ezra, v. 3, 6; vi. 6, 13, who is there called the ‘governor of the land beyond the river’ (_’Abar Nahara_). Footnote 11: See Hilprecht, _The Babylonian Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania_, i. 2, p. 31. Footnote 12: An inscription of Sargon recently published by M. Dangin (_Revue Sémitique_, April 1897) states that ‘the governor’ of the subjugated Amorites was Uru-Malik, where the name of Malik or Moloch is preceded by the determinative of divinity. Uru-Malik, which is an analogous formation to Uriel, Urijah, Melchi-ur (or Melchior), etc., shows that what we call Hebrew was already the language of Canaan. The inscription has been found at Tello in Southern Chaldæa. Footnote 13: Zabsali, also written Savsal(la) or Zavzal(la), probably represents the Zuzim or Zamzummim of Scripture. See my article in the _Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archæology_, February 1897, p. 74. Footnote 14:
