[17] For further details see Dr. Alfred Jeremias, who publishes
the text of the passages here quoted and offers a literal German
translation with editorial notes and other explanations. The
conception of the document as set forth in the quoted passages is
based upon the interpolation of Dr. Jeremias, which he justifies in
his critical notes. Dr. Jeremias’s interpretation of the concluding
words is justified by another cuneiform tablet which while relating a
conjuration of the dead begins with the same description of Sheol as
does the legend of Istar’s descent to Hell.
