V. SCHEIL published in his _Notes d’épigraphie_ in the _Recueil de Travaux_, xx, note xl (1898), pp. 202-5, four tablets which possibly did not come from Nineveh. I republished the texts as nos. 779-82 in my _Deeds and Documents_ above. The first is discussed by MEISSNER as _Eine assyrische Schenkungsurkunde_ in the _Mitteilungen der Vorderasiatischen Gesellschaft_, 1903, pp. 103-5, where he points out that my no. 619 is another like text. Here Adi-mati-ilu and other property were given to a son who was to take a double portion and divide the rest with his brothers. F. E. PEISER in the _Orientalistische Litteraturzeitung_, 1905, cols. 130-4, gave _Ein neuer assyrischer Kontrakt_, V. SCHEIL in the same journal for 1904, col. 70, and in the _Recueil de Travaux_, xxiv, note lxii, p. 24, pointed out others, while in _Vorderasiatische Schriftdenkmäler_, vol. i, nos. 84-111, A. UNGNAD published several more from Kannu’ and Kerkûk. S. SCHIFFER discussed many of these as _Keilschriftliche Spuren der in der zweiten Hälfte des 8_. _Jahrhunderts von den Assyrern nach Mesopotamien deportierten Samarier, a Beiheft to Orientalistische Litteraturzeitung_ (Berlin, W. Peiser, 1907), with which may be compared an article in the _Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archaeology_, 1908, pp. 107-15, 137-41, on _The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel_, by C. H. W. JOHNS. In an article _Aus dem Louvre_, F. E. PEISER published in the _Orientalistische Litteraturzeitung_, 1903, cols. 192-200, a new collation of no. 1,141 in my _Deeds and Documents_, which had been formerly treated by PLACE, OPPERT, and STRASSMAIER; and an edition of another text of this class. The new _Supplement to the Catalogue of the Tablets in the Kouyunjik Collection in the British Museum_, by L. W. KING (London, British Museum, 1914), shows that many more such texts await publication, and there are others in the Museums in England and America. This class of document was early known for the times of the Neo-babylonian Empire, and thousands of the so-called contracts have been published down to the century before the Christian era. J. OPPERT began the task of publishing and deciphering contracts, for which his legal training as well as his philological learning especially fitted him. His work may be gathered from the bibliography in the second volume of the _Beiträge zur Assyriologie_, pp. 523-56. His great effort was _Documents juridiques de l’Assyrie et de la Chaldée_ (Paris, Maisonneuve, 1877), but he continued to deal with contracts up to his death. Here as elsewhere comparison of fresh material continually brought new light.
