PREFACE. 

In  this  volume  the  seals  which  appear  upon  the  documents  are  reproduced  in 
connection  with  the  texts.  In  copying  some  of  the  smaller  and  closely  written 
tablets  of  this  volume,  practically  all  of  which  are  unbaked  and  many  in  a  poor 
state  of  preservation,  I  have  enlarged  somewhat  the  reproductions,  preserving,  how- 
ever, the  relative  position  of  the  characters  and  all  that  the  tablet  contains,  so  that 
those  who  use  the  texts  will  not  need  to  encounter  the  same  difficulties  which  con- 
fronted the  copyist.  In  the  "Description  of  Tablets"  the  exact  measurements  of 
the  documents  are  given,  as  well  as  what  is  known  of  the  provenience  of  the  material. 
This  has  been  gathered  from  the  Expedition  archives,  for  which  1  am  indebted  to 
the  editor,  Prof.  Hilprecht,  who  also  kindly  loaned  me  several  books  from  his  private 
library. 

I  am  indebted  also  to  B.  Franklin  Pepper,  Esq.,  the  Chairman  of  the  Baby- 
lonian Section,  for  his  kindness  in  improving  my  efforts  to  give  in  legal  phraseology 
the  contents  of  the  translated  texts.  My  thanks  are  due  also  to  Prof.  Jastrow  for 
his  kind  assistance  in  connection  with  the  proof-reading,  as  well  as  for  his  many 
acts  of  kindness  as  Librarian;  to  Prof.  Rogers,  of  Drew  Seminary,  for  some  refer- 
ences from  works  which  I  do  not  possess,  and  also  to  Dr.  Arthur  Ungnad  for  sug- 
gestions in  connection  with  one  of  the  deities  of  these  texts.  I  desire  to  express 
my  thanks  also  to  Dean  Robbins,  of  the  General  Theological  Seminary,  New  York 
City,  as  well  as  to  the  Librarian  of  that  institution,  Mi'.  Edward  II.  Virgin,  for  their 
continued  courtesies  in  connection  with  my  work  on  the  Hoffman  Collection;  and 
also  to  Sir  ( '.  Purdon  ( 'larke  and  Mr.  Edward  Robinson,  of  the  Metropolitan  Museum 
of  Art,  for  allowing  me  to  copy  the  only  known  text  of  Sin-shum-lishir.  Through 
the  kindness  of  Dr.  Win.  Hayes  Ward,  who  presented  the  tablet  to  the  Museum, 
[  learn  that  he  purchased  it  in  the  winter  or  spring  of  1884  5,  at  or  near  Baghdad 
(see  p.  '_').  Ill  conclusion  I  desire  to  express  my  gratitude  to  the  Provost,  and  the 
other  members  of  the  Publication  Committee,  especially  to  Mr.  Eckley  B.  Coxe,  .Jr., 
the  generous  founder  of  the  Fund  which  makes  possible  the  publication  of  these  texts.

INTRODUCTION. 

The  texts  from  Nippur  of  those  here  published  were  excavated  on  the  first, 
second  and  third  expeditions  which  were  sent  oul  by  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
Professor  John  P.  Peters  being  the  Director  of  the  first  two,  and  Doctor  John  H. 
Haynes  the  Director  of  the  third.  The  tablets  found  during  the  first  expedition 
were  partially  classified  by  Professor  Harper.  These  have  come  chiefly  from  along 
the  Shatt  en-Nil  at  the  northwestern  corner  of  the  triangular  mound,  south  of  the 
Temple,  known  as  Hill  V,  or  as  "Tablet  Hill."'  Toward  the  close  of  this  campaign 
some  tablets  were  found  in  Hill  IV.  During  the  second  campaign  ' 'Tablet  Hill"  was 
skilled  on  all  sides  with  trenches,  when  additional  tablets  of  this  period  were  found. 
Also  some  inscriptions  were  discovered  in  the  extreme  southern  part  of  the  mounds  on 
the  west  side  of  the  Shatt  en-Nil,  known  as  Hill  X.  During  his  operations  on  the 
third  expedition,  Doctor  Haynes  found  additional  tablets  of  this  period.  His 
reports  show  that  he  excavated  in  nearly  all  the  mounds,  but  the  records  do  not 
give  the  provenience  of  tin1  tablets. 

Besides  the  documents  from  Nippur  which  are  contained  in  this  volume,  about 
fifty  others  belonging  to  the  same  period  have  thus  far  been  classified,  but  which 
are  fragmentary,  effaced,  or  of  comparatively  little  value.  These  I  did  not  think 
if  advisable  to  include.  That  this  volume  should  contain  the  same  number  of 
plates  of  texts  as  my  other  volumes,  namely  seventy-two,  I  have  added  additional 
texts  from  J.S.,  Kh.\  Khr,  and  ./.  I).  I'.  Collections  of  the  University,  also  from 
the  A'.  .1.  //.  Collection  of  the  General  Theological  Seminary,  and  one  from  the 
Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art,  New  York  City.-  The  latter  text  (No.  141),  which 
is  the  only  one  of  the  reign  of  Sin-shum-lishir  that  is  known,  was  published  some 

:  In  ili''  chapter  containing  the  "  Description  of  Tablets  "  reference  to  the  campaigns  and  the  place  of  discovery 
are  made  on  the  basis  of  the  diagram  given  in  Peters,  Xippur,  Vol.  1.  facing  page  242,  which  shows  the  hills  and  the 
trenches  of  the  firs!  expedition,  and  also  in  Vol    II.  facing  page  17.'.  for  tin    trenches  of  the  second  expedition. 

2  Cf .  the  "Description  of  Tablets  "  for  a  brief  statement  concerning  the  origin  of  these  collections.  This  volume 
contains  all  the  Xeo-Rabvlonian  texts  of  the  ./.  /'.  /'.  Collection,  namely  three.  Professor  Barton  ol  Bryn  Mawr 
published  the  texts  of  Kli'm  The  .1  mericun  Journal  of  Semitic  Language*.  Vol  \VI,  \"o  2  The  J.  R.  and  A7i.'

years  ago  by  Doctor  A.  B.  Moldenke.1     Inasmuch  as  it  is  dated  al   Nippur,  I  have 

included  it  in  this  volume.  The  fact  that  it  was  dated  at  Nippur  does  not  neces- 
sarily mean  that  it  was  found  in  that  city,  for  cf.  text  No.  I  in  my  B.  A'..  Vol.  X. 
which  is  dated  at  Babylon,  and  yet  it  was  found  in  the  Murashu  archives  at  Nippur, 
to  which  it  belonged.  Even  the  witnesses  of  this  document  do  not  seem  to  be 
residents  of  Nippur.  Presumably  they  belonged  to  Babylon,  where  the  tablet, 
which  is  a  lease  of  a  building  apparently  for  official  purposes  of  the  crown,  was 
drawn  up.  This  seems  to  follow  from  the  fact  that  the  lease  expired  a-si-e  sharri, 
''at  the  going  out  of  the  king."  The  Sin-shum-llshir  tablet,  however,  does  not 
present  a  parallel  case.  The  proper  names  do  not  contain  any  elements  that  are 
peculiar  to  Nippur,  which,  of  course,  may  be  a  coincidence,  but  the  contents  clearly 
show  that  it  belongs  to  the  archives  of  the  Shamash-Temple  at  Sippara,  the  same  as 
a  large  number  of  those  which  have  been  published  by  Moldenke,  belonging  to  the 
same  period. 

The  Nippur  tablets  of  this  period  offer  a  few  peculiarities  in  contrast  to  those 
published  here  and  elsewhere  from  Babylon.  Borsippa  and  Sippara.  Among  these, 
as  I  have  previously  pointed  out  in  my  Dissertation  (unpublished),  is  the  fact  that 
generally  only  the  father's  or  family  name  is  given  (cf..  however.  114  :  10).  Usually 
this  is  not  the  name  of  a  trade  or  profession,  hut  of  a  person.  The  fact  that  in  the 
documents  of  the  Murashu  sons.  Rimiit-NINIB,  who  is  the  son  of  Ellil-hatin,  the 
son  of  Murashu,  is  generally  called  the  son  of  Murashu,  would  lead  us  to  infer  that 
the  second  name  is  frequently  to  be  regarded  as  the  family  name. 

Another  point  that  might  be  referred  to  is  the  interesting  oath  formula  of  texts 
Nos.   1  and  58,  the  latter  reading  as  follows: 

ii-iiii  In  r-ni  [sha-ta]-ri  a-na  ah-rat  utmt 

nisji   Ellil  u   NIN-[LIL   il'hn)  dli-shu-nu   zak-ru 

insli  NINIB  a  Nusku  [m-hi-is]'  shul-lum-shu-7iu  zak-ru 

msli   mKur-ra-ash  shar  matati  shar  shai'cini  beli-shu-nu  zak-ru. 

'  'That  they  would  not  alter  the  tablet  to  the  end  of  days,  they  swore  by  Ellil  and 
NIN-LIL  the  gods  of  their  city;  they  swore  by  NINIB  and  Nusku  the  guardian(s  of 
their  peace;  they  swore  by  Cyrus  king  of  countries,  king  of  kings,  their  lord." 

Cf.  also  text  No.  25,  Ina  Ellil  u  NIN-IB  it-te-me,  "By  Ellil  and  NINIB  they 
swore."  On  the  use  of  the  names  Ellil,  \  I X I B  and  Nusku  in  the  oath  formulas  of 
Nippur  documents,  cf.  my  It.  E..  Vol.  XV,  p.  2.

Here  an  observation  might  be  mentioned  also  in  connection  with  the  supru, 
•'thumbnail  mark,"  which  was  made  instead  of  a  seal  impression.  It  appears 
quite  evident  that  the  custom  of  making  thumbnail  marks  had  become  conven- 
tionalized, in  much  the  same  manner  that  the  seals  are  often  printed  in  documents 
of  the  present  day,  which  by  law  are  necessarily  given  in  connection  with  the 
signature,  because  on  a  number  of  tablets  the  impressions  were  not  made  by  means 
of  the  thumbnail,  but  apparently  by  some  instrument,  see  Plates  IV  and  Y. 
This  is  evident  from  the  regularity  with  which  they  were  made,  as  well  as  from  the 
shape  of  the  impressions.  To  make  an  indentation  similar  to  those  in  question, 
it  would  be  necessary  to  trim  the  nail  in  a  very  peculiar  manner;  in  fact  it  would 
be  difficult  ordinarily  to  make  the  identical  indentations  with  the  thumbnail,  except 
by  carefully  rotating  the  thumb.  It  is  not  impossible  that  this  was  actually  done 
by  the  scribe.  Usually  on  the  documents  referred  to  there  are  nine  marks  on  each 
edge,  and  six  on  each  end.  The  uniformity  and  care  with  which  these  have  been 
made  clearly  indicate  that  they  are  not  the  work  of  an  inexperienced  contractor, 
but  of  the  scribe  who  wrote  the  document.  This  is  evident  after  a  comparison 
of  these  marks  with  those  obviously  made  by  the  man  upon  whom  the  obligation 
rested,  cf.  my  B.  E.,  Vol.  X,  PI.  VI.  But  on  examination  there  seems  to  be  little 
doubt  that  the  impressions  were  made  by  means  of  an  instrument,  presumably 
made  of  a  reed,  such  as  grow  in  the  marshes  of  the  Euphrates,  out  of  which  the 
ancients  made  the  stylus.  It  is  not  at  all  improbable  that  they  were  made  by  the 
upper  end  of  the  stylus  in  use  by  the  scribe.  For  a  discussion  of  the  stylus,  cf.  my 
B.  E.,  Vol.  XIV,  p.  17,  and  the  important  presentation  of  the  subject  by  Doctor 
Leopold  Messerschmidt,  Zur  Technik  des  Tontafelschreibcns. 

As  early  as  1S77,  Boscawen1  attempted  to  fix  the  length  of  reigns,  and  the  time 
of  the  year  when  the  kings  of  the  Neo-Babylonian  and  Persian  periods  began  to 
rule,  on  the  basis  of  the  collections  of  contract  literature  in  the  British  Museum, 
the  largest  portion  of  which  had  been  purchased  the  previous  year  by  the  famous 
decipherer  George  Smith,  on  his  last  and  fatal  expedition  to  Mesopotamia.  Professor 
Eduard  Meyer  in  his  Forschungen  zur  alien  Geschichte,  Vol.  II  (1899),  makes  use  of 
this  material,  and  what  was  subsequently  discovered  in  his  discussion  of  the  chro- 
nology of  this  period.  Considerable  additional  material  has  since  been  found,  which 
enables  us  to  approach  nearer  to  the  exact  time  when  the  kings  began  to  reign,  as 
well  as  to  increase  our  knowledge  concerning  the  length  of  the  reigns.     With  this

object  in  view  I  have  constructed  the  following  table,1  which  gives  the  earliest 
dated  tablet  of  each  reign  that  has  been  published  up  to  the  present,  as  well  as  the 

latest.  From  this  list  it  will  he  observed  that  the  dated  texts  of  this  volume,  as 
well  as  those  recently  published  by  Doctor  Arthur  Ungnad  of  The  Royal  Museum  in 
Berlin,  give  the  historiographer  or  chronologer  additional  data  on  the  subject.

In  some  instances  if  may  be  important  to  know  the  next  to  the  last  tablet  dated 
in  the  respective  reigns.  With  this  in  view  let  me  add  the  following:  The  next  to 
the  last  date  of  the  tablets  belonging  to  the  reign  of  Shamash-shum-ukin  is  15  1  14,

It  will  be  observed  that  the  date  of  the  last  tablet  of  a  reign  is  no  indication 
necessarily  that  the  king  was  at  that  time  ruling.  For  example,  Nabii-na'id  was 
dethroned  and  imprisoned  shortly  after  the  16th  of  Tammuz.'  On  (lie  3d  of  Mar- 
chesvan  Cyrus  entered  Babylon,  and  on  the  11th  Belshazzar  was  killed.-  And 
vet  a  tablet  has  been  found  dated  in  the  reign  of  Nabu-na'id  on  the  day  before  the 
death  of  Belshazzar,  and  even  in  the  following  month.  The  first  tablet  that  has 
been  found  dated  in  the  reign  of  Cyrus  was  written  on  the  24th  day  of  Marchesvan, 
that  is  thirteen  days  after  Belshazzar's  death.-1  Another  instance  that  might  be 
cited  is  the  reign  of  Artaxerxes  I.  The  first  tablet  of  his  successor,  Dunns  II.  was 
dated  on  the  4th  day  of  Shebet,  which  is  six  days  previous  to  the  last  dated  tablet 
of  the  former  ruler,  namely  Artaxerxes  I.  It  is  not  unreasonable  to  explain  such 
discrepancies  as  mistakes  on  the  part  of  the  scribe,  who  continued  to  date  tablets  in 
the  old  reign,  forgetting  for  the  moment  the  advent  of  the  new  reign.  It  is  not 
impossible  also  that  the  coronation  ceremonies  had  something  to  do  with  this  over- 
lapping of  reigns.  In  this  volume  of  texts,  No.  127  is  dated  on  the  20th  day  of 
Adar  of  the  "forty-first  year  (i.e.,  of  Artaxerxes  I),  the  accession  year  of  Darius." 
This  implies  that  although  a  new  king  sat  on  the  throne  and  it  was  regarded  as  his 
accession  year,  there  was  no  hesitancy  in  continuing  to  date  tablets  also  according 
to  the  year  of  the  previous  reign. 

While  this  is  true  with  reference  to  the  latest  dated  tablets,  it  is  scarcely  possi- 
ble that   a  single  ruler  did   not    occupy  the  throne  on  or  before  the  earliest   date

mentioned  in  such  documents,  so  that  it  is  safe  to  imply  that  the  beginning  of  the 
reign  was  on  or  previous  to  the  earliest  date  given  in  the  accession  year  of  the  ruler. 

Two  documents,  Nos.  1  and  L59,  of  those  here  published  are  dated  in  the  reign 
of  Ashurbanapal.  Unfortunately  the  second  is  fragmentary  and  the  date  is  wanting. 
The  three  tablets,  Nos.  4.  5  and  6,  dated  in  the  reign  of  Ashur-etil-ilani-(ukin  .  are 
the  only  texts  published1  of  this  reign,  except  the  two  short  inscriptions  in  Rawlinson, 
Vol.  I.  p.  S.  No.  3,  which  are  translated  by  Winckler,  Keili?ischriftlich(  Bibliothek, 
II.  pp.  268ff.  Sin-shum-lishir,  king  of  Assyria,  is  only  known  through  the  one 
tablet  which  is  now  in  the  Metropolitan  Museum.  New  York  City  (see  p.  1). 

Besides  the  poorly  preserved  cylinder  and  fragmentary  duplicate  of  Sin-shar- 
ishkun,  which  contain  simply  his  titles  and  vain  words  of  boasting,  and  the  text 
here  published  (No.  157),  the  year  of  which  is  wanting,  only  three  other  contracts 
have  been  found  belonging  to  this  reign.  One  of  these,  which  has  been  published 
by  King  in  the  Zeitschrift  j'iir  Assyriohgie,  IX,  p.  39ff.,  is  dated  at  Uruk.  Even- 
published  a  second  in  Strassmaier,  Babylonische  Texte,  VI,  B,  which  is  dated  at 
Sippara  on  the  20th  of  Ivyar  of  his  second  year.  Another,  which  is  in  the  Berlin 
.Museum,  the  transliteration  and  translation  of  which  is  published  by  Peiser,  Keilin- 
schriftliche  Bibliothek,  IV,  174f.,  is  also  dated  at  Sippara  on  the  first  of  Iyyar  of  the 
same  year. 

The  other  tablets  of  those  here  published,  dated  in  the  reigns  of  kings  prior  to 
the  fall  of  Nineveh,  belong  to  the  time  of  Shamash-shum-ukin,  Kandaldnu  and 
Nabopolassar.  These  were  not  excavated  at  Nippur.  They  belong  to  other  collec- 
tions which  have  come1  from  Babylon.  Borsippa  and  Sippara.  In  connection  with 
the  inscriptions  from  Nippur  the  question  naturally  arises,  Do  they  offer  any 
historical  data  which  throw  light  upon  the  closing  days  of  the  Assyrian  rule? 

George  Smith,  in  1871,  in  his  History  of  Ashurbanapal,  p.  323f.,  was  the  first 
to  suggest  that  [inr'/.a^jnn;  and  Ashurbanapal  were  one  and  the  same. 
He  apparently  came  to  this  conclusion  without  the  testimony  of  Berosus,  mentioned 
below.  Pinches,  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  Society  of  Biblical  Archaeology,  V,  p.  6 
(1882),  announced  the  discovery  of  tablets  dated  in  the  reign  of  Kandalanu,  which 
he  recognized  to  be  the  same  as  \\trs//.u^/.i  <>.:.  A  little  later,  in  1885,  Sayce 
contested  Smith's  view  that  Kandalanu  was  Ashurbanapal;  see  his  Assyria,  Its  Princes, 
Priests  and  People,  pp.  53  and  159.  Sehrader,  however,  cf.  Zeitschrift  fiir  Keil- 
schriftforschung,  Vol.  I,  pp.  222ff.,  attempted  to  prove  what  Smith  had  proposed, 
and  advanced  the  theory  that  after  the  revolt   and  death  of  Shamash-shum-ukin,

Ashurbdnapal  proclaimed  himself  king  under  the  name  Kandaldnu.  In  opposition 
to  this  view,  Oppert,  in  the  first  article1  of  Revue  d'Assyriologie,  Vol.  I,  pp.  1  11, 
1886,  followed  Sayce  in  maintaining  that  these  two  rulers  were  not  identical.  Cf. 
also  Smith-Sayce,  Histonj  of  Babylonia,  p.   140,   1895.1 

The  view  of  Smith  and  Schrader  has  Keen  generally  accepted  by  Assyriologists 
and  historians;  cf.  Miirdter  and  Delitzsch,  Geschichte  Babyloniens  und  Assyriens, 
p.  230;  Lehmann,  Shamashshumukin,  p.  6;  Winekler,  Geschichte  Babyloniens  und 
Assyriens,  pp.  135  and  289,  and  Keilinschriftcn  und  das  Alte  Testament,  pp.  50,  98; 
Tiele,  Babylonische-Assyrische  Geschichte,  pp.  368,  369,  412-14;  Rogers,  History  of 
Babylonia  and  Assyria,  II,  pp.  268,  2071'.;  Maspero,  Passing  of  the  Km  pins,  p.  423; 
King,  article  "Babylonia"  in  Encyclopaedia  Biblica,  I,  Col.  451,  and  Chronicles,  I,  p. 
20S ;  Bezold,  Nineve  and  Babylon,  p.  61;  Lindl,  Cyrus,  p.  85,  etc. 

The  proof  adduced  in  favor  of  the  identification  depends  solely  upon  Berosus- 
Polyhistor-Eusebius,  who  say  that  after  Sammuges,  his  brother  reigned.  Eusebius 
reports  in  his  Chronic-ovum  Canonum  (cf.  Lehmann,  Shamashshumukin,  I,  p.  2,

Shamashshumukin,  I,  p.  6,  in  the  following  words,  seems  to  represent  the  position 
generally   taken   by  scholars: 

Shamashshiomikin's  Nachfolger  auf  dem  babylonischen  Throne  is/  Asurbanapal. 
Dieser  verhdngte  zirar,  wie  Sanherib,  ein  Strafgericht  iiber  Babylon,  aber  er  hat  nicht

bestehenden  I  nterordnung  unter  Assyrien,  das  Verhaltniss  moglichst  als  cine  Personal- 
union  erscheinen  :u  lassen,  wird  es  axich  zusammenhdngen,  dass  er  als  Babylonischer 
Konig  semen  Namen  anderte  und  sich  Kandal(anu)  nannte  (Konigsliste  und  Con-

Babylonians,  assumed  the  name  Kandaldnu  in  taking  upon   himself  the  reigns  of

the  government  offers  difficulties.  In  the  first  place  it  seems  reasonable  to  suppose 
that  such  an  act  would  be  highly  obnoxious  to  the  people  of  Babylon,  who  for  decades 
had  been  striving  for  an  autonomous  government,  and  especially  after  their  leaders 
and  warriors,  who  had  fought  for  independence,  had  met  such  cruel  deaths  as  a 
punishment  at  the  hands  of  the  Assyrian  king  on  the  termination  of  the  insurrection. 
After  relating  in  his  annals  his  fearful  atrocities,  he  says:  ''I  restored  and  re- 
established, as  it  was  in  former  days,  their  cult,  which  had  been  diminished.  I 
showed  mercy  to  the  remaining  inhabitants  of  Babylon.  Cutha  and  Sippara,  who  had 
escaped  slaughter,  massacre  and  famine:  and  I  ordered  that  they  should  be  allowed 
to  live,  and  permitted  them  to  dwell  in  Babylon"  (K.  II.,  II,  pp.  192,  193).  To 
have  taken  from  them  at  that  time  their  self-government  surely  would  not  have 
placated  them,  but  would  have  increased  tenfold  their  hatred  for  Assyria. 

The  absence  of  any  reference  in  his  annals  or  in  any  other  inscription  to  his 
taking  unto  himself  the  title  "King  of  Babylon."  whether  under  one  name  or  another, 
is  surely  significant.  And  why  should  he  assume  the  name  Kandalanul  It  is  not 
a  Babylonian  nor  an  Assyrian  name.1  It  occurs  in  Johns,  Assyrian  hints  a  ml 
Documents  (cf.  Vol.  III.  p.  49),  twice  as  the  name  of  slaves  (Nos.  58  and  230),  once 
as  the  name  of  a  witness  in  683  B.C.  (No.  51  I,  and  of  a  seller  (Xo.  500).  As  a  slave 
in  Xo.  58,  Kandaldnu  is  sold  with  Kurdi-Adad,  another  foreign  name,  together 
with  their  families.  The  earliest  occurrence  of  this  name  is  in  the  texts  of  the 
Cassite  period,  cf.  my  B.  E.,  Vol.  XV.  17(>  :  11.  where  Kan-da-la-ni  is  written.  Here 
it  may  bo  a  Cassite  name,  or  even  a  name  from  the  land  Khannigalbat.  What 
significance  could  the  adoption  of  such  a  name  by  Ashurbdnapal  have,  especially 
as  he  had  been  the  actual  sovereign  of  Babylon  for  twenty  years,  and  doubtless  was 
well  known  l>v  the  name  Ashurbdnapal  from  the  day  of  his  birth?  True,  Tiglath- 
pileser  III  was  known  as  riupos  (Pulu)  in  Babylon,  and  SMlmaneser  IV  as 
\'/jir'/.niiK  (Ululai).  But  these  are  not  parallel  cases.  It  is  evident  that 
both  the  names  Tiglathpileser  and  Shalmaneser  had  been  assumed  by  these  rulers, 
and  that  perhaps  Pul  and  Ulidai  were  their  original  names.  Pul,  as  is  recognized, 
was  a  usurper.  He  was  first  called  by  the  Biblical  writer  "Pul.  king  of  Assyria," 
2  Kings  1.1  :  19,  and  afterwards  in  verse  29,  "Tiglathpileser,  king  of  Assyria." 
This  may  or  may  not  be  significant.  It  is  quite  reasonable  to  infer  that  his  son  and 
successor  had  been  born  before  he  had  been  able  to  establish  himself  upon  the  throne 
of  Assyria;  and  if  so,  it  is  more  likely  that  his  plebeian  name  was  Ululai.     On  the

other  hand,  it  is  scarcely  possible  that  anyone  would  suggest  that  Kandaldnu  was 
the  original  name  of  Ashurbdnapal. 

A  more  plausible  conclusion,  it  seems  to  me,  in  the  light  of  known  facts  and 
those  which  these  texts  offer,  is  that  Kandaldnu,  who  may  have  been  a  brother, 
is  not  to  be  identified  with  Ashurbdnapal;  and  that  in  accordance  with  the  Canon 
of  Ptolemy,  which  gives  the  names  (if  the  rulers  or  viceroys  of  Babylon  after  the 
time  of  Esarhaddon,  they  were  Shamash-shum-\ikin,  Kanclaldnu  and  Nabopolassar.

We  know  that  Esarhaddon  greatly  sympathized  with  the  people  of  Babylon, 
who  were  desirous  of  self-government,  and  that  he  assigned  that  principality  to 
his  oldest  son,  Shamash-shum-ukin,1  the  son  of  his  Babylonian  wife,2  as  viceroy,  with 
the  understanding  that  he  was  to  pay  homage  to  his  brother,  Ashurbdnapal,  as 
suzerain.  The  title,  ''King  of  Babylon,"  included  jurisdiction  over  the  cities 
Borsippa,  Cutha  and  Sippara;  in  other  words,  it  was  synonymous  with  the  title 
"King  of  Aecad."  However,  Ashurbdnapal  in  all  his  references  to  the  titles  of 
Shamash-shum-ukin  distinctly  says  he  appointed  him  to  the  "kingship  of  Babylon" 
(sfiarrut  Babili  or  sharrut  Karduniash).  It  is  interesting  to  note  in  this  connection 
that  whereas  Ashurbdnapal  always  designates  him  '  'King"  or  '  'Viceroy  of  Babylon," 
or  "Karduniash"  in  his  own  inscriptions,  Shamash-shum-ukin  appropriates  to 
himself  the  title  "King  of  Amnanu,  king  of  Babylon,  king  of  Sumer  and  Accad," 
and  yet  there  is  no  evidence  to  show  that  he,  nor  the  two  viceroys  that  followed  him, 
namely  Kandaldnu  and  Nabopolassar  (until  the  latter  conquered  the  land),  ruled 
over  any  city  south  of  Babylon  (see  below).  Shamash-shum-ukin  was  followed  by 
Kandaldnu  and  Nabopolassar  as  sovereigns  or  viceroys  of  those  cities,  as  is  clear 
from  the  dated  contracts.     The  only  dated  tablets  of  Assyrian  kings  of  this  entire

period  that  have  conic  from  Accad,  or  the  kingdom  of  Babylon,  arc  the  two  of  Sin- 
shar-ishknn  from  Sippara,  mentioned  above. 

That  the  cities  to  the  south  of  Babylon  were  not  assigned  to  him  is  further 
established  by  the  fact  that  a  contract  is  dated  at  Uruk  in  the  twentieth  year  of 
Ashurbanapal,  cf.  S.  A.  Smith,  Miscel.  Texts,  No.  XXXVIII,  and,  as  is  stated  above, 
also  one  in  the  reign  of  Sin-shar-ishkun.  Nippur  was  also  retained  under  the  direct 
control  of  Assyria.  In  this  connection  we  recall  the  building  operations  of  Ashur- 
banapal at  Nippur,'  where  he  restored  and  enlarged  the  ancient  sanctuary  of  Ellil, 
embellishing  it  in  a  manner  scarcely  known  in  its  long  history.  No  other  kins: 
since  the  days  of  Ur-Engur  did  so  much  for  Nippur  as  Ashurbanapal.  The  evidence 
of  his  work  is  everywhere  perceptible  in  the  shape  of  bricks  that  are  well  burnt, 
containing  his  name,  Ashurbanapal,  with  his  titles,  in  which  he  calls  himself  "king 
of  the  four  quarters  of  the  earth."  This  seems  clear  also  from  the  fact  that  tablets 
have  been  found  which  had  been  dated  in  that  city  in  the  reigns  of  Ashurbanapal, 
Ashur-etil-ilani,  Sin-shar-ishkun  and  Sin-shum-lishir.  These  rulers  are  not  called 
kings  of  Babylon,  but  kings  of  the  country  Assyria.  These  facts  lead  ns  to  conclude 
that  the  country  to  the  south  of  Babylon,  i.e.,  the  country  Sumer,  remained  under 
the  direct  control  of  Assyria,  at  least  until  Nabopolassar  became  the  supreme  potentate 
of  the  land. 

The  significant  fact  in  this  connection  is  that  tablet  No.  1  of  this  volume  is 
dated  at  Nippur  in  the  twenty-sixth  year  of  the  reign  of  Ashurbanapal.  If  it  were 
true  that  he  had  assumed  the  name  Kandalanu  in  Babylon,  and  in  every  instance, 
as  far  as  we  know  up  to  the  present,  the  ruler  was  known  by  this  name  in  that  neigh- 
borhood, it  seems  unreasonable  to  suppose  that  at  Nippur,  not  more  than  fifty 
miles  distant,  he  should  be  known  by  his  real  name  six  years  after  the  death  of 
Shamash-shum-ukin  and  his  own  enthronement  in  that  city. 

The  viceroy  of  Babylon  following  Kandalanu,  by  the  grace  of  Assyria,  doubtless 
under  Ashur-etil-ilani,  was  Nabopolassar.  Contracts  dated  in  the  reign  from  the 
second  to  the  twenty-first  year  show  that  the  Ptolemaic  Canon  in  making  him  the 
successor  of  Kandalanu  is  correct.  That  he.  under  the  name  Bussalossoros,  should 
be  a  general  of  Saracos  (Sin-shar-ishkun),  as  told  by  Berosus-Abydenus  (cf.  Muller- 
Didot,  Frag.  Hist.  (I'mc,  IV,  p.  282),  is  not  difficult  to  understand  if  we  take  into 
account  that  he  was  a  vassal  king.  If  Shamash-shum-ukin,  who  ruled  before  Kan- 
dalanu, and  Nabopolassar,  who  ruled  after  him.  were  viceroys  of  Babylon  who 
owed   their  titles  to  Assyria,   is  it   not  reasonable  to  suppose  that   Kandalanu,  who

reigned  between  them,  should  also  have  been  a  viceroy,  instead  of  regarding  him 
as  the  Assyrian  king  himself?  And  is  it  not  unreasonable  to  suppose  that  the  policy 
inaugurated  by  Esarhaihlon  to  give  the  Babylonians  an  autonomous  government 
was  for  twenty-one  years  set  aside,  and  then  for  no  apparent  reason  was  again 
resumed?  That  the  reign  of  Kandalanu  and  Ashurbdnapal  should  come  to  a  close 
about  the  same  time  is  significant,  but  that  may  be  due  to  the  fact  that  the  term 
of  office  expired  with  the  close  of  the  reign,  or  it  is  the  possible  time  of  his  death. 
Other  plausible  reasons  could  be  suggested  to  explain  this  coincidence. 

What  seems  to  be  noteworthy  evidence  in  this  connection  is  to  be  found  in  the 
annals  of  Ashurbdnapal,  where,  after  he  records  the  punishment  of  the  insurrec- 
tionaries,  he  says:  ''The  people  of  Accad,  together  with  those  of  Kaldu,  Aramu 
and  the  country  of  the  sea-coast  whom  Shamctsh-shum-ukin  had  allied  to  himself 
and  had  made  of  one  mind,  became  hostile  to  me  by  their  own  decision.  By  the  order 
of  Ashur  and  Belit  and  the  great  gods,  my  aids.  1  completely  subjugated  them. 
The  yoke  of  Ashur,  which  they  had  thrown  off,  I  imposed  upon  them.  Governors 
and  prefects,  appointed  by  me,  I  placed  over  them."  In  these  annals,  which  were 
written  six  years  later,  we  find  no  reference,  as  mentioned  above,  to  the  effect  that 
AshurMnapal  ever  assumed  the  title  "King  of  Babylon";  but  on  the  other  hand 
he  distinctly  says  that  he  set  over  Accad  governors  {SHA-KUR'1)  and  prelects 
(BAD-GID-DA"1)   after  subjugating  the  land  (Col.  IV.  97   104). 

The  situation  seems  to  me  to  be  that  after  the  death  of  Shamash-shum-ukin, 
Ashurbdnapal  installed  as  viceroy  Kandalanu,  perhaps  his  brother  or  half-brother, 
a  son  of  one  of  Esarhaihlon' s  foreign  wives,  if  Berosus1  statement  is  correct.  While 
the  inscriptions  do  not  mention  Kandalanu  as  the  son  ot  Esarhaihlon,  it  is  quite 
natural  to  suppose  that  the  latter  had  other  sons,  legitimate  and  otherwise,  besides 
those  that  are  mentioned:  tor  cf.  Pinches,  Texts  in  tin'  Babylonian  Wedge  11  riting, 
p.  17,  li.  12ff.,  where  Asiiurbcinapal  mentions  three  of  his  brothers,  Shamash-shum- 
ukin,  Ashur-mukin-palea  and  Ashur-etil-shame-u-irsiti-uballitsu,  to  whom  he  had 
made  assignments.  In  view  of  these  facts  it  seems  reasonably  certain  that  the 
opposition  raised  more  than  a  score  of  years  ago  by  Professor  Sayce,  the  only 
living  representative  of  this  view,  as  far  as  1  can  ascertain,  is  sustained,  namely,  that 
Ashurbdnapal  and  Kandalanu  are  not  identical. 

Besides  the  inscriptions  referred  to,  which  belong  to  the  reigns  of  Ashur-etil- 
ildni,  Sin-shiwi-lishir  and  Sin-shar-ishkun,  we  have  no  light  from  the  cuneiform 
inscriptions  upon  the  last  twenty  years  of  Assyrian  rule.  Ashur-etil-ildni  doubtless 
followed  Ashurbdnapal,  as  he  called  himself  his  son.     According  to  text  No.  5,  which 


12  LEGAL     AND     COMMERCIAL    TRANSACTIONS 

is  from  Nippur,  he  was  ruling  in  Marchesvan  of  his  fourth  year.  How  much  later 
remains  to  be  determined. 

The  text  dated  in  the  reign  of  Sin-shum-lishir  (No.  141)  is  valuable  in  that  it 
gives  us  the  name  of  another  Assyrian  king  doubtless  of  this  period,  but  exactly 
where  he  is  to  be  placed  in  the  list  remains  uncertain.  It  is  dated  in  his  accession 
year,  so  he  may  have  ruled  only  a  few  months.  It  has  been  suggested  that  he  was 
the  predecessor  of  Sin-shar-ishkun  (c\'.  Sayce's  editorial  note  in  Maspero,  Passing 
of  the  Empires,  p.  481).  This  is  doubtless  correct,  if  we  can  rely  on  the  account  of 
Abydenus  (sec  below)  concerning  the  fall  of  Nineveh,  when  Sin-shar-ishkun  (Saracos) 
is  supposed  to  have  burnt  himself  alive.  At  the  same  time  it  should  be  noted,  in 
the  light  of  Scheil's  discovery,  that  Sin-shar-ishkun  was  a  son  of  Ashurbdnapal,  cf. 
Zeitschrijt  fiXr  Assyriologie,  Vol.  XI,  p.  47ff.,  in  which,  if  the  rule  of  Sin-shum-lishir 
intervened,  he  would  be  the  third  removed  from  his  father  in  the  line  of  succession. 

It  is  generally  held  that  Sarakos  (Sin-shar-ishkun),  following  Abydenus,  cf. 
Muller-Didot,  Fragmenta  Historicorum  Grcecorum,  Vol.  IV.  p.  283f.,  was  the  lasi 
king  of  Assyria.  And  yet  it  must  be  admitted  that  the  Greek  Sarakos  is  considerably 
removed  from  the  writing  Sin-shar-ishkun.  However,  in  the  absence  of  any  other 
identification,  assuming  that  it  represents  this  ruler,  Nabopolassar,  whose  reign  as 
king  or  viceroy  was  contemporaneous  with  Ashur-etil-ilani,  Sin-shum-lishir  and 
Sin-shar-ishkun,  is  found  in  tablets  dated  at  Sippara  in  the  second,  seventh,  and  in 
nearly  every  year  from  the  ninth  to  the  end  of  the  reign  (cf.  King,  Zeitschrift  fur 
Assyriologie,  IX.  p.  397,  and  Moldenke,  Cuneiform  Texts).  These  dates  must  he 
taken  into  consideration  with  the  two  texts  from  Sippara  of  the  second  year  of 
Sin-shar-ishkun,  mentioned  above.  If  Ashur-etil-ilani  ruled  about  five  years  after 
Ashurbdnapal,  it  seems  plausible  to  assume  that  about  two  years  after  the  advent 
of  the  new  reign  was  the  time  when  the  two  Sippar  tablets  of  Sin-shar-ishkun  were 
written,  as  we  have  no  tablets  dated  at  Sippara  from  the  second  until  the  seventh 
year  of  the  reign  of  Nabopolassar.1  It  is  not  unlikely  that  Nabopolassar,  who  was 
viceroy  under  Ashur-etil-ilani,  declared  himself  free  from  the  Assyrian  yoke  at  the 
time  of  the  hitter's  death:  and  that  Sippara  either  remained  loyal  to  Assyria  for  a 
season,  during  which  time  the  tablets  were  written,  or  Sin-shar-ishkun  temporarily 

'King  cf .  Z.  A .,  IX,  p.  397)  is  of  the  opinion  that  those  wliieb  are  dated  in  Babylon  belong  to  the  6th  and  10th 
and  1  1th  years;  in  Sippar  to  the  15th  and  18th  years,  while  others  found  at  Abu  Habba,  and  therefore  probably  also 
referring  to  transactions  in  Sippara,  were  dated  in  In-  2d,  "th,  9th  to  the  12th,  16th  to  the  19th  and  L'l-t  years.  The 
tablets  published  by  Moldenke  are  dated  in  Stl  ,  9th,  12th,  Kith,  1  1th.  17th  and  19th  years,  most  of  which  seem  to  have 
come  from  Sippar.  Weissbach,  Bab  1/  cellen  .  So.  XV,  in  tin-  1 9th  year,  is  from  Babylon;  Pinches,  Peek  Collection,

restored  the  Assyrian  domination  over  Sippara  by  force,  but  which  ultimately  fell 
into  the  hands  of  Nabopolassar.  This  seems  to  be  the  only  time  in  the  history  of 
Nabopolassar,  namely,  bet  ween  his  second  and  seventh  years,  that  Sin-shar-ishkun 
is  likely  to  have  been  recognized  as  ruler  in  that  city. 

Barzia,  or  the  Persian  Gaumdta  who  impersonated  Barzia  {i.e.,  Bardiya,  cf. 
Justi.  Iranische  Namenbuch,  p.  63),  according  to  the  Behistun  inscription  (cf.  Weiss- 
bach  and  Bang,  Die  Altpersischen  Keilinschriften,  p.  15),  headed  a  revolt  on  the 
14th  of  Viyakhna  (Adar).1  On  the  9th  of  Garmapada  (Abu)  he  seized  the  throne 
and  was  crowned.  Unless  we  assume  that  Barzia  ruled  longer  than  a  fraction  of  a 
year,  it  is  impossible  to  reconcile  these  statements  with  the  dates  gathered  from 
the  tablets  of  his  reign,  as  the  earliest  is  dated  in  lyyar  of  his  accession  year,  cf. 
Strassmaier,  Z.A.,  IV,  p.  147.  This  cannot  be  regarded  as  a  mistake,  since  No. 
37  of  Peiser,  Babylonische  Vertrag,  which  is  dated  on  the  sixth  of  Sivan,  is  also  of  his 
accession  year.  Even  if  he  had  been  recognized  as  king  as  soon  as  he  began  the 
revolt,  his  accession  year  would  only  begin  on  the  14th  of  Adar. 

The  Behistun  says  he  was  killed  on  the  Kith  of  Bagayddish  (Nisan).  If  this  is 
correct,  his  rule  did  not  come  to  a  close  before  the  second  year  of  his  reign,  as  the 
latest  tablet  is  dated  on  the  first  day  of  Tishri  of  his  first  year.  The  occurrence  of 
the  dates  on  the  published  tablets  of  Barzia  are  suggestive  also  of  an  error  in  the 
date  given  in  the  Behistun  inscription  concerning  his  death,  which  according  to 
Herodotus  was  followed  by  the  selection  of  Dunns,  the  son  of  Hystaspes,  as  ruler. 
A  number  of  the  tablets  published  by  Strassmaier  as  well  as  in  the  present  volume 
are  elated  in  Elul  of  his  first  year.  The  last  is  dated  on  the  first  day  of  Tishri  (men- 
tioned above)  and  then  they  suddenly  cease.  The  date  of  the  death  of  Barzia, 
according  to  the  Behistun,  if  the  identification  of  Bagayddish  with  Nisan  is  correct, 
is  six  months  later,  after  which  there  is  an  interval  of  nearly  a  year  prior  to  the 
first  tablet  dated  in  the  reign  of  Darius  II.  In  the  reconstruction  of  the  history  of 
this  period  cognizance  of  these  facts  must  be  taken  by  the  chronologer  and  the 
historiographer. 

The  dated  tablets  of  Artaxerxes  I  show  that  he  ruled,  instead  of  forty  years,  as 
given  by  Diodorus,  about  forty-two  years.2  Unfortunately  tablets  of  his  accession 
year  have  not  been  found,  so  that  we  are  uncertain  how  many  months  he  ruled  of 
the  last  year  of  his  predecessor's  reign.     Inasmuch  as  tablets  are  dated  in  his  rule

ogie,  p.  270,  ami  Oppert,  Stockholm  Congress,  Vol.  II.  j>.  254f.

14  LEGAL    AND     COMMERCIAL   TRANSACTIONS 

after  Darius  II  became  king,  we  can  only  say  that  his  reign  came  to  a  close  on  or 
before  the  fourth  day  of  Shebet,  which  is  the  earliest  date  given  in  the  latter's  reign. 

Diodorus  (Chap.  VII)  says  Artaxerxes  I  reigned  forty  years  and  was  succeeded 
by  Xerxes  II,  who  reigned  only  one  year;  but  he  adds,  '  'some  say  only  two  months." 
Plutarch  informs  us  that  Xerxes  II  ruled  forty-five  days.  Diodorus  tells  us 
that  Sogdianus,  who  murdered  Xerxes  II,  ruled  seven  months,  "who,  being  killed, 
Darius  (Nothus)  enjoyed  the  kingdom  nineteen  years." 

It  will  he  difficult  to  determine  which  of  the  tablets  published  in  this  volume, 
and  in  others,  that  are  dated  in  the  reign  of  the  first  twenty  years  of  Darius  belong 
to  Darius  I  or  Darius  II,  until  more  documents  of  the  period  subsequent  to  Darius 
II  have  been  found  at  Babylon,  Borsippa  and  Sippara,  from  which  cities  the  bulk 
of  those  published  have  come.  Concerning  the  Murashu  documents  from  Nippur, 
there  can  be  no  question  as  to  which  Dunns  is  meant,  inasmuch  as  the  archive  is 
confined  to  the  reigns  of  Artaxerxes  I,  Darius  II,  and  Artaxerxes  II.1  I  regard  Nos. 
127  and  128  of  the  present  volume  as  belonging  to  Dunns  II,  as  some  of  the  names 
occur  also  in  the  documents  of  Murashu  Suns,  dated  in  the  reign  of  Dunns  II. 

The  Murashu  documents,  however,  do  show  us,  as  above,  that  Dunns  II  began 
to  reign  on  or  before  the  fourth  of  Shebet  in  the  forty-first  year  of  Artaxerxes  I. 
This  makes  it  impossible  to  reconcile  the  statements  of  Diodorus  and  Plutarch 
with  the  dates  gathered  from  these  tablets.  For,  as  slated  above,  tablets  are  dated 
in  the  reign  of  Artaxerxes  I  even  after  Dunns  II  was  known  as  king,  which  would 
seem  to  imply  that  no  rule  intervened;  and  yet  Diodorus  inserts  Xerxes  II  and 
Sogodianus,  the  former  having  ruled  one  year,  or  two  months  as  another  writer  says; 
and  the  latter  seven  months,  or,  as  another  says,  six  months  and  fifteen  days  before 
Dunns  was  selected  king.  For  an  exhaustive  discussion  of  the  chronology  of  the 
Persian  period,  as  based  on  a  study  of  the  Grecian  historians  and  the  dates  gathered 
from  contract  tablets  until  within  a  decade,  sec  Meyer,  Forschungen  zur  alten
