[294] First published and discussed by Sayce, _P.S.B.A._ xxvi. (1904,
Jan.), p. 13, with drawing. Prof. Sayce’s rendering is: ‘of this

secured a new set of photographs which show the details much clearer.
[298] Cf. the head-dress of the god at Boghaz-Keui, Pls. LXV., LXXI.

who similarly stands on the back of a bull which he guides with a cord.

Hierapolis, which replaced Carchemish, was supported on a bull. On the
position of the god in the Hittite Pantheon, see p. 359.

Struggle of the Nations_, p. 263; and especially the Hittite tribute,
