INTRODUCTION 


INTRODUCTION. 


A  large  number  of  the  texts  here  pubhshed  belong  to  the  time  of 
the  Ur  Dynasty,  of  which  the  reigns  of  Dungi,  Bur-Sin,  Gimil-Sin, 
and  Ibi-Sin  are  represented.  A  number  belong  to  the  time  of  the 
First  Dynasty  of  Babylon.'  In  Nos.  26,  33a,  and  loi,  the  year  and 
the  month  are  expressed  by  a  number  of  perpendicular  and  oblique 
wedges.  This  indicates  an  earlier  period  than  the  Ur  Dynasty>  prob- 
ably a  time  between  Ur-Nina  and  the  Dynasty  of  Akkad.^  No.  33a 
unquestionably  belongs  to  the  Lugal-anda  period.  Nos.  100  and  103 
are  not  dated,  but  for  paleographic  reasons  they  can  likewise  be 
assigned  to  a  time  prior  to  the  Ur  Dynasty.  The  Larsa  Dynasty  is 
represented  by  Nos.  i7-2ob,  2ia-22h,  and  probably  yga-e  and  189. 
Of  these,  Nos.  i8a-b,  and  probably  22b,  belong  to  the  reign  of  Rim- 
Sin,  while  20b  belongs  to  the  reign  of  Samsu-iluna.  Nos.  33b-36b 
belong  to  the  reign  of  Uru-kagina. 

Large  temple  archives  have  been  found  at  Drehem  and  Jokha, 
cities  situated  southeast  of  Nippur,  belonging  to  the  Ur  Dynasty. 
These  show,  as  is  known,  that  different  names  were  in  use  at  each  place 
to  designate  the  months  of  the  year.  The  provenance  of  the  present 
texts,  belonging  to  the  Ur  Dynasty,  can  then  be  determined  to  be 
either  Drehem  or  Jokha.  Nos.  i7-2ob,  2ia-22h,  were  in  collections 
said  to  have  come  from  Senkereh,  the  ancient  Larsa.  This  is  corrobo- 
rated by  the  dates  in  Nos.  i8a-b,  while  the  others  are  of  a  similar 
character,  especially  as  regards  the  script.  The  same  provenance 
may  perhaps  be  assigned  to  Nos.  79a-e,  and  189;  while  that  of  Nos. 
33b-36b  is  assured  by  the  mention  of  Uru-kagina,  king  of  Shirpurla. 
Those  belonging  to  the  First  Dynasty  of  Babylon  do  not  show  such 

'  Nos.  20c,  28,  57-70,  157,  182,  185,  187,  188,  190. 

'  At  least  this  seems  to  be  an;ilogous  to  the  texts  of  the  Lugal-anda  and  Ur-Nina  periods 
where  the  year  is  expressed  by  a  horizontal  wedge  crossed  by  oblique  wedges.  In  the  Revue 
d'  Assy  nolo  gie.  Vol.  VIII,  p.  159,  Thurcau-Dangin  has  published  four  tablets,  from  Jokha, 
similarly  dated.     These  he  assigns  to  a  time  prior  to  the  Dynasty  of  Akkad,  ibid.  p.  154. 


conclusive  internal  evidence  for  determining  their  provenance.  A 
few  of  these,  probably,  have  come  from  Sippar. 

These  texts  may  be  grouped  into  four  general  classes:  (a)  Bullae 
or  Labels,  (b)  Tags  in  the  shape  of  tablets,  (c)  Archive  Labels,  and 
(d)  Animal  Tags. 

The  general  appearance  of  the  (a)  bullae  or  labels  (see  Plates 
I,  II),  is  that  of  a  lump  of  clay  pressed  on  the  knot  of  a  cord.  On 
the  outer  edges  of  many  the  finger  markings  of  the  scribe,  who  fash- 
ioned the  label  on  the  cord,  are  plainly  visible.  The  most  common 
forms  used  were  the  three-sided,  conical,  and  elliptical  or  olive-shaped. 
The  nature  of  the  contents  apparently  did  not  influence  or  decide  the 
particular  shape  of  this  group,  belonging  to  the  Ur  Dynasty.  It 
rather  seems  to  have  been  a  matter  of  choice  with  the  scribe  to  use 
a  shape  best  adapted  to  his  immediate  use,  and  one  that  was  easily 
made.  In  the  Lugal-anda  period  the  olive-shaped  bullae  were  chiefly 
votive  in  character.  All  the  labels  from  Jokha  have  a  solid  base. 
This  indicates  that  the  cord  did  not  pass  entirely  through  the  label, 
but  that  the  lump  of  clay  was  placed  on  the  end  of  the  cord  after 
it  was  tied  around  the  object.  This  gave  an  additional  side  for  the 
inscription,  which  the  scribe  frequently  used.'  The  hole  varies  from 
one  half  of  an  inch  to  an  inch  in  diameter,  showing  the  use  of  a  heavy 
cord  to  tie  the  bale  of  goods.  The  hole  in  the  elliptical  or  olive-shaped 
is  very  much  smaller,  varying  from  one  eighth  to  three  eighths  of  an 
inch. 

The  second  (b)  group  (see  Plate  III),  does  not  difl^er  from  the 
usual  shape  of  the  tablet.  In  some  the  hole,  which  is  very  small, 
passes  through  the  tablet,  generally  near  one  edge;  in  others  it  is 
only  visible  on  one  side,  indicating  that  the  tag  was  placed  on  the 
end  or  knot  of  the  string  with  which  it  was  fastened  to  the  cord  encirc- 
ling the  object.  At  the  time  of  the  F  irst  Dynasty  this  form,  apparently, 
disappears,  and  the  most  common  then  seems  to  have  been  the  olive- 
shaped.  A  few,  belonging  to  the  Ur  and  First  Dynasties,  were  flat 
and  triangular  (see  Plate  IV).  In  the  Assyrian  period,  according  to 
the  published  texts,  the  triangular,  tending  to  a  "heart-shape,"  were 
more  common. 

Very  similar  to  the  above  group  are  the  (c)  pisan-dubba,  i.e., 
archive  labels  (see  Plate  V).     In  these  the  holes  are  found,  so  far  as 

'Nos.  3,  7,  10,  23,  30,  44,  45.

the  present  texts  show,  on  the  left  hand  edge.  The  holes,  two  in 
number,  are  very  close  together,  and  do  not  pass  entirely  through  the 
tablet.  The  impression  of  the  string  shows  that  it  passed  through 
the  tablet  in  a  short  loop,  thus  leaving  its  two  ends  extend  from  the 
same  edge  and  free,  in  order  to  fasten  the  label  to  the  outside  of  the 
archive  case,  or  to  the  receptacle  which  held  what  was  referred  to 
on  the  label. 

No.  26,  which  belongs  to  an  earlier  period  than  the  Ur  Dynasty, 
shows  a  different  arrangement.  Here  the  string  passed  entirely 
through  the  tablet  from  the  right  to  the  left  hand  edge.  There  is 
but  one  hole,  indicating  a  single  string.  On  the  right  hand  edge  is 
a  circular  impression,  showing  that  the  knot  of  the  cord  was  on  this 
edge,  and  served  as  a  support  for  the  label.  The  shape  of  this  label, 
rectangular  like  the  usual  tablet,  however,  shows  a  distinct  variation 
from  the  usual  shape,  semi-spherical,  of  this  group  in  the  early  period.' 
With  it  may  be  compared  a  similarly  shaped  label,  dated  in  the  reign 
of  Sargon.^  The  change  from  the  earlier  to  the  later  shape,  appar- 
ently, was  then  made  prior  to  the  Akkad  Dynasty.  There  is  no 
further  change  during  the  Ur  Dynasty. 

The  id)  animal  tags  (see  Plate  VI),  are  triangular  and  flat,  some- 
what in  the  shape  of  a  shield.  These  vary  in  thickness  from  three 
eighths  of  an  inch  to  half  an  inch.  A  small  hole  passes  through  each 
of  the  three  corners. 

From  the  impressions  on  the  inside  of  the  tag  (see  Plate  VIII, 
Nos.  65  and  66),  it  is  probable  that  two  cords  were  tied  together, 
and  the  tag  placed  on  this  knot.  No.  65  clearly  shows  that  the  knot, 
which  was  found  preserved  in  the  tag,  was  close  to  one  edge;  while  in 
No.  66  the  impression  shows  it  to  have  been  near  the  center  of  the 
tag.  In  some,  the  hole  at  the  opposite  corner  is  larger  than  the  two 
at  the  shoulders  of  the  tag,  at  least,  it  indicates  the  impression  of  a 
knot.  It  is  then  possible  that  a  cord,  with  a  knot  on  one  end,  passed 
through  the  tag  from  the  opposite  corner  to  one  shoulder,  and  a  short 
distance  from  this  knot  a  second  cord  was  tied,  which  passed  out 
through   the  other  shoulder.     This  gave   two  ends  for  fastening   the

ment of  the  Imperial  Russian  Archaeological  Society,  Tome  IV,  1907,  pp.  243-247,  Nos.  31-44.

tag  to  the  animal,  while  the  two  knots  helped  to  keep  it  in  place.     The 
tag  would  then  be  suspended  thus: 


It  is  not  evident,  from  Nos.  65  and  66,  Plate  VIII,  that  a  single 
cord  passed  through  the  three  corners  in  such  a  way  as  to  form  a  loop. 
In  such  a  case,  we  would  expect  to  find  also  traces  of  the  impression 
of  the  cord  on  one  of  the  edges.  But  the  present  texts  do  not  show 
any  such  impression.  Nos.  79a,  b,  and  e,  elliptical  in  shape,  indicate 
that  this  group  varied  in  form  in  the  different  centers  during  different 
periods. 

Most  of  these  bullae  and  labels  are  well  preserved  and  baked. 
A  number,  however,  from  Jokha  and  of  the  time  of  the  First  Dynasty 
are  unbaked. 

With  few  exceptions  the  scribe  impressed  his  seal  on  those  labels 
and  tags  which  were  used  in  connection  with  receipts  and  expendi- 
tures, i.e.,  groups  a  and  b.  Usually  the  seal  is  impressed  several 
times.  The  scribe  impressed  his  seal,  which  served  the  purpose  of 
his  signature,  as  well  as  mentioned  his  name  in  the  body  of  the  inscrip- 
tion. This  was  a  guarantee  to  the  steward  of  the  storehouse  that 
the  record  of  the  contents  of  the  package  was  correct,  and  had  been 
passed  upon  by  the  scribe  hirriself  as  the  responsible  person.  In  a 
few  instances,'  however,  the  seal  is  that  of  another  person,  i.e.,  the 
one  mentioned  as  having  received  the  package.  This  is  analogous 
to  the  seals  on  records  of  receipts,  where  the  one  giving  the  receipt 
also  left  the  impression  of  his  seal.  On  the  archive  labels  (c)  the 
seal  is  omitted,  because  these  had  no  relation  to  any  business  trans- 
actions.     The  animal  tags  {d)  also  do  not  show  any  seal  impressions. 

The  seal  impressions,  throughout  the  Ur  Dynasty,  show  the  us* 
of  a  cylinder  with  a  perfectly  plain  border.  The  scene,  a  common 
one  of  this  period,  represents  a  seated  deity  into  whose  presence  a 
worshipper  is  either  led  by  a  female  attendant;  or  the  worshipper 
approaches  the  god  unattended.  In  the  field,  the  crescent  alone,  or 
the  sun  in  the  crescent  is  frequently  added  (see  Plate  VII).

So  far  as  the  evidence  shows,  these  texts  are  to  be  connected  with 
the  many  temple  records  which  have  been  found.  This  is  clearly 
proved  by  the  finding  of  records  which  give  the  same  contents  as 
some  of  these  bullae  or  labels.  In  the  collection,  from  which  Nos. 
i8a-22h  were  taken,  were  also  a  number  of  tablets  about  one  inch 
square,  a  few  of  which  are  here  included  (Nos.  ige,  22g,  22h).  These 
tablets  give  the  records  of  consignments  of  bricks  to  different  indi- 
viduals. All  mention  the  same  official,  who  probably  was  the  one 
in  charge  of  some  Babylonian  brick-yard.  These  three  tablets  were 
selected  and  included  here  because  they,  doubtless,  refer  to  the  same 
transactions  as  bullae  Nos.  igd,  22e,  and  22f  respectively.  Each  states 
the  same  amount  of  bricks  was  sent  to  the  same  person,  proving  that 
the  scribe  not  only  made  a  record,  often  a  mere  note,  to  be  preserved 
in  the  archive,  but  also  one  to  be  attached  to  the  goods  as  a  label, 
to  indicate  the  amount  and  destination  of  the  consignment.  In 
examining  a  large  number  of  the  published  and  unpublished  temple 
records  of  the  Ur  Dynasty,  corresponding  similarities  between  the 
tablets  and  the  bullae  or  labels  of  that  period  were  also  found. 

The  temple  with  its  large  possessions  in  lands  and  herds  of  cattle, 
and  its  hosts  of  functionaries  and  tradesmen  connected  with  it,  had 
become  a  great  institution,  whose  administrative  affairs  differed  in 
nowise  from  those  of  a  similar  modern  institution.  Its  staff  of  revenue 
officers,  in  consequence,  passed  through  the  various  outlying  districts 
to  collect  the  taxes  due  from  its  possessions.  These  taxes,  always 
paid  in  kind,  were  sent  in  to  the  temple,  where  they  were  credited 
to  the  proper  debtor.  On  their  receipt  the  scribe  naturally  only  made 
out  a  list  of  what  was  sent;  by  whom  and  through  what  official  it  was 
sent;  by  whom  it  was  received;  and  the  date.  Frequently  he  added 
the  purpose  of  the  contents  sent,  whether  as  interest  on  a  loan,  as 
an  offering,  or  even  as  food.  Attaching  such  a  record  to  the  package, 
before  sending  it  to  the  steward  of  the  storehouse  for  final  disposi- 
tion, was  quite  essential  and  most  helpful  to  that  official,  who  had  to 
keep  accurate  records  of  the  receipts  as  well  as  the  expenditures  of  the 
storehouse  in  his  charge.  After  serving  this,  its  first  purpose,  the  label, 
giving  the  itemized  account,  was  baked  (see  page  17)  and  preserved 
as  a  permanent  record  to  be  used  later  by  the  scribe  for  compiling 
the  monthly  and  annual  accounts  of  individuals  for  the  temple  archive. 
The  nature  of  their  writing  material  would  not  permit  the  scribe  to 

13 


keep  on  adding  new  accounts  on  the  same  tablet,  so  that  full  indi- 
vidual accounts  could  only  be  made  on  the  basis  of  the  separate  entries 
of  each  transaction  on  separate  tablets  or  labels. 

These  bullae  and  labels  were  then  chiefly  used  in  connection 
with  the  various  receipts  and  expenditures  of  the  temple:  for  tagging 
the  revenues,  tithes,  and  offerings  received  at  its  storehouse;  the  loans 
of  grain  or  animals  to  the  tenants  of  its  farms;  the  wages  of  the 
laborers  cultivating  its  lands,  or  employed  to  convert  raw  products, 
as  wool,  into  finished  articles;  the  animals  entrusted  to  shepherds  for 
various  periods;  and  for  marking  the  archive  cases.  Others  again  were 
used  in  connection  with  private  receipts  of  interest  on  loans,  of  money, 
or  with  offerings  made  to  deities  for  personal  favor,  or  the  preservation 
of  life.  In  fact  we  may  infer  as  varied  and  extensive  a  use  of  these 
clay  labels  as  is  to-day  made  of  the  common  card-board  tag. 

The  smaller  triangular  tags  were,  no  doubt,  tied  around  the  neck, 
or  horns,  of  the  animal,  which  was  to  be  tagged.  They  simply  men- 
tion the  kind  of  animal,  and  the  shepherd's  name.  This  would  indicate 
their  use  to  have  been  to  designate  ownership.  Such  a  use  seems 
reasonable  when  interpreted  in  relation  with  the  numerous  inventories 
of  flocks  made  at  the  time  they  were  entrusted  to  shepherds,  and  again 
of  the  round-ups  of  the  herds  at  the  expiration  of  the  shepherd's 
lease.'  Further,  this  view  agrees  with  the  records  of  contracts  made 
with  individuals,  stipulating  the  conditions  upon  which  live  stock 
was  farmed  out,  and  the  returns  that  were  expected.^ 

The  pisan-dubba  group  are  to  be  connected  with  the  filing  cases 
for  the  temple  records.  The  phrase,  ^uan-basket,  and  a'«i^«=tablet, 
clearly  means  a  "basket  tablet,"  i.e.,  a  tablet  used  in  connection  with 
a  receptacle  or  case  to  indicate  its  contents.  These  labels  suspended 
on  a  cord,  as  shown  by  the  two  holes  on  the  left  hand  edge,  were 
attached  to  the  outside  of  the  archive  case.'  They  state  the  char- 
acter of  the  records  or  documents  filed  in  each  particular  case,*  and

so  are  the  equivalents  of  the  labels  placed  on  filing  cases  to-day.  The 
classification,  cataloguing,  and  filing  of  the  great  number  of  records, 
concerning  the  temple's  transactions,  were  entrusted  to  a  stafi^  of 
archivists  or  registrars.^  Their  official  title  is  also  designated  by  the 
phrase  pisan-dubba,  and  mar-pisan-dubba} 

From  the  seal  impressions  on  a  number  of  the  present  texts 
(Nos.  3,  5,  7,  lo,  12,  23,  25,  130),  where  a  pisan-dubba-sag,  "chief 
archivist,"  is  mentioned,  it  is  evident  that  a  division  into  classes  was 
made,  based,  perhaps,  on  experience  and  ability. 

No.  17,  presumably  from  Larsa,  gives  a  list  of  sheep  delivered 
for  various  temples.  In  the  Yale  Babylonian  Collection  there  are 
a  number  of  similar  texts.  All  are  square,  or  nearly  so,  in  shape. 
A  hole,  without  exception,  is  found  at  the  upper  and  lower  left  hand 
corner.  The  impression  of  the  cord  shows  that  it  passed  through 
these  two  corners  in  a  loop  along  the  left  hand  edge,  and  in  the  center 
of  this  loop  was  a  knot  to  keep  the  tag  in  place  (see  Plate  VIII,  No.  67). 
On  each  edge,  as  well  as  on  the  obverse  and  reverse,  are  the  seal 
impressions  of  difi^erent  individuals,  called  satammu  in  the  inscription. 
These  no  doubt  were  temple  officials.  This  officer,^  preceded  by  the 
determinative  amelu,  is  also  mentioned  on  a  number  of  unpublished 
letters,  of  the  Neo-Babylonian  period,  in  the  Yale  Collection.  All 
the  texts  begin  with  E-^Samas,  "temple  of  Shamash,"  except  one, 
which  begins  with  E-'^Enlil,  "temple  of  Enlil."  This  label  gives 
an  entirely  different  list  of  temples,  and  is  dated  in  "the  year 
when  the  country  of  Umliash  was  destroyed, "''  whereas  the  others 
are  dated  in  "the  year  when  the  country  of  Ashnunak  was  destroyed" 
(see  below).  In  the  former  the  following  temples  are  mentioned: 
E-'^Samas,  E-'^Adad,  E-^Ishtar,  E-^Nana,  E-^Nergal,  E-'^Bau;  while  in 
the  latter,  in  the  Yale  Collection,  are  mentioned:  E-'^En-lil, 
E-^Nannar,  E-'^Ea,  E-^ N in-har-sag-gd,  E-'^Nin-kar-ra-ag,  E-^Nin-ib, 
E-^Nin-din-ug-ga . 

The  meaning  of  en  nu  bada  in  No.  33b  is  not  clear.      Similar  texts

are  published  by  Pinches'  and  Likhachev.^  The  former  translates 
it  by  "lord  of  the  garrison'",  and  the  latter  leaves  it  untranslated. 
Thureau-Dangin  translates  it  by  "fortress  of  the  wall,"^  and  refers 
to  en-nu  in  Gudea,  Cyl.  B,  XII :20,  where  the  meaning  "fortress" 
is  clear;  also  to  Nos.  393:2,  394  :  2,  in  his  Recueil  de  Tablettes  Chal- 
deennes,  where  it  is  used  parallel  with  e-gal,  "palace."  If  this  pro- 
posed meaning  should  prove  correct,  these  bullae  may  then  have  been 
attached  to  parcels  sent  to  fortresses,  and  addressed  to  their  chief 
official. 

Nos.  34a-36b  are  of  a  votive  character,  and,  very  probably,  were 
attached  to  an  object  which  the  king  dedicated  to  his  deity.  They 
are  analogous  to  two  other  texts  translated  by  Thureau-Dangin.'' 
In  these,  as  in  No.  36b,  the  deity  addressed  is  ''Ningirsu,  the  god  of 
Lagash;   while  in  Nos.  343-363  it  is    Bau,  his  consort. 

No.  81  records  the  receipt  of  a  slave  from  one  person  by  another, 
and  so  probably  was  the  tag  attached  to  the  slave  thus  transferred.^ 
No.  28,  pyramidal  in  shape,  and  No.  76,  resembling  a  flattened  lump, 
contain  only  seal  impressions;  these  apparently  served  the  purpose 
of  seals,  and  so  are  very  analogous  to  the  bullae  of  the  middle  ages, 
or  the  wax  seals  still  attached  to  documents  and  packages.® 

That  these  labels  were  placed  on  the  cord,  with  which  the  bale 
of  goods  to  be  tagged  was  tied,  is  evident  from  the  hole  passing  through 
them,  and  the  clear  imprints  of  the  cord.^  These  imprints  (see  Plate 
VIII,  Nos.  59-64*),  show  the  cord  to  have  been  made  up  of  a  number 
of  smaller  fibres  tied  together,  generally  with  a  straight,  occasionally  a 
twisted,  strand.  Instead  of  plaiting  the  fibres  into  a  cord  it  rather 
seems  they  simply  tied  them  together  at  various  intervals.     A  lump

of  clay  pressed  on  such  a  knot  would  have  sufficient  hold  to  remain 
in  place. 

Just  what  these  fibres  were,  is  not  so  certain.  It  is  very  probable, 
however,  that  they  were  reeds  or  rushes,  possibly  something  similar 
to  the  fibres  of  the  bamboo  tree  still  extensively  used  in  the  Orient 
to-day.  In  this  connection  are  to  be  noted  the  several  lengthy  pub- 
lished records  referring  to  the  collection  of  binding  reeds;'  also,  a  few 
of  the  present  texts  which  were  used  to  tag  quantities  of  reeds,  namely, 
No.  134,  in  connection  with  a  consignment  received  by  boat;  No. 
135,  for  different  grades  from  the  same  field;  or  No.  141,  where  a  num- 
ber of  reeds  from  the  ma-nu  tree  were  sent  as  an  offering. 

That  the  bulla  or  label  was  baked  in  order  to  preserve  it  as  a 
permanent  record,  after  it  had  served  its  first  purpose,  is  very  evident 
from  the  perfect,  unbroken  grooves  and  ridges  left  in  the  clay,  show- 
ing the  exact  form  of  the  cord  or  rope  which  was  burned  out  in  the 
baking.  In  several  of  the  labels,  here  published,  charred  pieces  of  the 
cord  are  preserved.  In  a  few  the  remains  were  sufficient  to  show  a 
slightly  twisted  strand. 

Chronologically  these  texts  offer  several  new  and  variant  date 
formulas: 

a.  "The  year  when  Shashru  was  destroyed  for  the  second  time." 

b.  "The  year  the  son  of  the  king." 

c.  "The  year  when  the  bright  throne  of  Enlil  was  built." 

d.  "The  year  after  Nannar  of  Karzida  was  brought  into  the 
temple  of  Ana  for  the  second  time." 

e.  "The  year  after  the  lord  of  Nannar  was  installed." 

f.  "The  year  the  country  Ashnunak  was  destroyed."

there  is  a  variant  form  for  the  3d  year  of  Bur-Sin,  which,  throughout 
the  known  texts,  is  the  year  in  which  the  throne  of  ''EnHI  was  built. 
In  No.  131  it  precedes  the  formula  for  the  4th  year  of  Bur-Sin,  which 
confirms  the  placing  of  it  as  the  3d  year  of  that  reign.  Formula  a 
occurs  in  no  combination  with  another  date  which  would  help  to 
definitely  place  it.^ 

Formula  b  is  uncertain.  The  three  texts  in  which  it  occurs  give 
little  help  for  its  classification.  It  no  doubt  is  the  abbreviated  form  of 
"the  year  when  the  son  of  the  king  was  installed  patesi  of  Anshana."^ 
This  would  be  analogous  to  the  abbreviated  form:  "the  year  the 
daughter  of  the  king,"^  for  the  fuller  form:  "the  year  when  the 
daughter  of  the  king  was  invested  patesi  of  Zabshali."*  To  which 
reign  of  the  Larsa  kings  formula  /  belongs  is  uncertain.  Records 
from  Drehem  give  the  names  of  two  of  the  patesi  of  Ashnunak  in  the 
time  of  the  Ur  Dynasty,  namely,  Kallamu  in  the  57th  year  of  Dungi^ 
and  the  9th  year  of  Bur-Sin";  Ituria  in  the  9th  year  of  Gimil-Sin^, 
and  the  ist  year  of  Ibi-Sin*.  Genouillac^  refers  to  tablets  which 
mention  Kallamu  as  patesi  in  the  4Sth  year  of  Dungi,  and  as  governor 
in  the  2d  and  5th  years  of  Bur-Sin;  and  Ituria  as  patesi  in  the  3d  year 
of  Gimil-Sin. 

In  No.  22b  the  date:  mu  ki-iQ  us-sa,  "the  19th  year  after,"  no 
doubt  can  be  assigned  to  the  reign  of  Rim-Sin;  at  least  it  is  analogous 
to  a  number  of  formulas  placed  in  this  reign  by  Thureau-Dangin.^" 
No.  26  mentions  the  patesi  Isib-pa-he.  The  label  probably  is  dated 
in  his  rule,  in  the  ist  year  and  the  7th  month. 

No.  23,  dated  in  the  8th  year  of  Bur-Sin,  gives  a  new  name  for 
a  month,  namely,  Ezen-^Bur-^Sin,  which  shows  that  the  calendar 
at  Jokha  was  subjected  to  this  slight  change.     With  what  month  to

it  was  Bur-Sin.     If  so,  it  would  indicate  that  he  destroyed  Shashru  twice.

identify  it,  and  when  the  substitution  was  made,  is  not  clear  at  present; 
possibly  it  was  for  Ri,  the  5th  month.' 

The  Drehem  calendar,  likewise,  had  two  names  for  the  same 
month.  The  new  name  that  was  substituted  was  Ezen-'Gimil-^Sin. 
Genouillac^  suggested  that  it  was  to  be  identified  with  Shu-esh-sha, 
the  8th  month.  This  is  definitely  proved  by  a  large  tablet  in  the 
private  collection  of  Mr.  T.  B.  Walker  of  Minneapolis.  This  tablet 
is  an  annual  record  of  animals  brought  to  the  temple  on  the  difl^erent 
days  of  each  month.  The  month  Shu-esh-sha  is  missing,  and  in  its 
place  is  given  the  month  Ezen-^Gimil-^Sin. 

In  connection  with  the  present  texts  it  is  interesting  to  note  a 
group  of  bullae  of  the  time  of  Sargon  and  Naram-Sin,  bearing  the  seal 
impression  of  persons  of  Agade  and  addressed  to  individuals  of  Shir- 
purla.'  These,  besides  indicating  a  system  of  exchange  and  trade 
between  the  two  cities,  illustrate  a  very  simple,  and  possibly  the 
original  idea  of  this  class  of  objects,  i.e.,  they  were  labels  giving  the  origin 
and  destination  of  the  package,  similar  to  the  modern  delivery  tag. 

In  the  Assyrian  period,  a  number  of  the  bullae  or  labels  are  char- 
acterized by  the  addition  of  Aramaic  notes.  These,  undoubtedly, 
have  the  same  import  as  the  Aramaic  endorsements  on  the  business 
documents  of  the  Murashu  Sons.''  Most  of  these  Assyrian  labels 
are  described  as  "heart-shaped,"^  and  were  used  in  connection  with 
advances  of  corn,  for  planting,  to  the  tenants  or  officers  in  charge  of 
farms.* 

Among  the  Hittites  the  use  of  similar  objects  is  evident  from  the 
description  of  two,  one  a  cone  and  the  other  a  tetrahedron,  from 
Boghaz  Koi.^ 

'  In  No.  3912,  of  the  Yale  collection,  from  Jokha  occurs  also  the  month  Ur,  which  belongs 
to  the  calendar  in  use  at  Telloh  during  the  time  of  Sargon  and  the  early  years  of  Dungi's  reign. 
The  tablet  is  a  record  of  an  offering  of  6  gur  60  qa  of  royal  grain  from  the  month  Ur  to  the 
month  Kur-u-e  {itu  Ur  ta  itu  Kur-u-e  hi  itu-bi  2-dm).  This  would  identify  the  month  Ur  with 
the  loth  month,  which  in  the  Jokha  calendar  was  Ezen-'^Dun-gi.  The  tablet  is  dated:  itu 
E-itu-as  mu  en  Eridu-ki  ba-Ulg-gd.

The  contents  of  the  texts  are  briefly  indicated  in  the  catalogue. 
They  are  chiefly  hsts  of  offerings  of  drink,  vegetables  and  animals 
made  to  the  principal  deities,  or  the  regular  ofi^ering  of  some  individual 
to  his  god;  lists  of  animals,  mostly  slaughtered,  sent  by  the  king, 
or  received  by  some  temple  official;  lists  of  animal  skins  and  sinews  sent 
out;  receipts  of  grain  as  interest,  as  rations  for  men,  and  as  fodder 
for  cattle;  collections  of  reeds  and  wood;  consignments  of  bricks 
and  copper  vessels;  wages  of  men  and  women;  archive  labels;  animal 
tags;   and  seals. 

The  translations  of  a  few  specimen  texts  are  given  to  show  the 
general  character  of  this  class  of  cuneiform  material.
