PREFACE.

The present volume is a supplement to the " Catalogue of the Cuneiform Tablets in the Kouyunjik Collection," which was compiled by Professor C. Bezold, and published by the Trustees of the British Museum in five volumes during the years 1889-1899. It contains a full description and classification of three thousand, three hundred and forty-nine tablets, and fragments of tablets, from Kouyunjik.

Notwithstanding the excavations which had been carried on at Kouyunjik by the late Sir Henry Layard, Mr. George Smith, Mr Hoi-muzd Rassam, and myself, there still remained in 1891 a considerable portion of the mound to be examined, and a native guardian was appointed by the Trustees of the British Museum to prevent clandestine excavations. In 1901 Mr, L. W. King was despatched by the Trustees to Mesopotamia to report upon the condition of the mound of Kouyunjik, and of the other sites on which they had already made excavations ; and in the following winter a farman to re-open the mound of Kouyunjik was obtained. Work was begun by Mr. King in January, 1903, aiad was continued until the spring of 1905 ; during the last season he was assisted by Mr. R. C. Thompson, at that time Assistant in the Department.

The most important additions to the Kouyunjik Collection herein catalogued were obtained from the excavations made in 1903-1905. These became the property of the Trustees by arrangement with His Excellency O. Hamdi Pash^, Director of the Imperial Ottoman Museum in Constantinople. In preparing this volume for pubUcation opportunity was taken to include descriptions of a few portions of

cylinders and tablets from Koiiyunjik which have been acquired by purchase, and of a series of fragments from tlie earlier excavations at Kouyunjik which were not previously numbered or incorporated in the Collection. For convenience of reference, running numbers have been added to the descriptions in this Supplement, and space saved by this system in the General Index has been devoted to detailed classification. As the result of the continuous work on the Kouyunjik Collection during the last twenty-five years, it has been found possible to rejoin some two thousand, eight hundred and fifteen fragments, and a complete list of these will be found on pp. 265 ff. The relation of the recently-acquired texts to the older literary material from Kouyunjik is described in the Introduction, and their more important characteristics indicated.

INTRODUCTION.

I. — The Kouyunjik Collection and the Royal Library at

Nineveh.

In a Supplement to the Catalogue of the Kouyunjik Collection it is scarcely necessary to recapitulate the facts with regard to the general character and history either of the Kouyunjik Collection of tablets in the British Museum, or of the Royal Library established by King Ashur-bani-pal in his palace at Nineveh.^ But it may not be out of place to define somewhat more px'ecisely than is usually attempted the relationship between the Kouyunjik Collection and the Libiary. It is usually assumed that the two are identical, or rather, that, though parts of the Library are missing, the Kouyunjik Collection as a whole was once included in the Library. This, of course, is true for the great bulk of the Collection, but an exception must be made with regard to some important sections which never formed part of the Royal Library, although they were i-ecovered in the course of excavations in the palace-mound. Indisputable proof that a tablet formed part of the Libraiy Collection is furnished in many cases by the colophons which are found written at the close of a large number of texts. On tablets made to the king's order a space was arranged for the colophon, which was inscribed at the same time as the main body of the text ; others, not made specially for the purpose, were provided, on their incorporation in the Library, with a shorter colophon to the same effect, which was scratched on

the surface of the clay.^ In consequence of the imperfect condition in which the documents have been recovered/ the colophon of a text is often missing. But in view of the large number of tablet-series and of duphcate texts in the Collection, the absence of the colophon is often of no great importance ; from a study of the contents of a text, no less than by epigraphical considerations, its place in the Collection may often be determined with certainty.

But among the inscriptions recovered during the series of excavations at Kouyunjik are a number wliich, it is equally certain,

The wisdom of Nabu, a wealth (?) of writing (?), all that there is, have I inscribed upon tablets, checking (?) and revising it, and, that I might see and read them, have I placed them within my palace. I am a prince who knows the light of Ashur, king of the gods. AVhosoever shall take (this tablet; away, or shall write his own name beside my name, may Ashur and Belit[Ninlil] in wrath and fury cast him down, and may they blot out his name and his seed from the land ! " When scratched upon the tablet, the library-colophon was reduced to a few signs, containing little more than Ashur-bani-pal's name and title.

2 Layard, who found the main body of the texts in two chambers of the " S.W. Palace," states that they entirely filled the rooms " to the height of a foot or more from the floor"; and he adds that "the greater part [were] broken into many fragments probably by the falling in of the upper part of the building"; cf. Nineveh and Babt/lon, p. 345. There is no doubt that from this centre fragments were widely scattered throughout the palace area. Those tablets which have been recovered from the "Northern Palace" were probably from another section of Asliur-bani-pal's Library, which was kept in that part of the palace buildings. But fragments from the South-West Section of the Library have been recovered over a wide area. Some, evidently kicked by the feet of fugitives when the palace was in flames, were found scattered around the main exit on the west, and they extended for some distance on to the paved terrace which overlooked the Tigris beyond the palace- fa9ade on this side.

THE ROYAL LIBRARY. XUl

were never in the Library. This is perhaps most obvious in the case

of those historical texts and building-records which are found

inscribed on prisms and barrel-cylinders of baked clay. The texts

of this class, without exception, were buried as foundation-records

in the foundations or within the walls of buildings upon the

palace-mound.^ A building so commemorated is invariably referred

to in the closing paragraphs of the inscription, but the long historical

summary, with which the text is usually introduced, is of greater

value and interest to the historian. On the strength of these

introductions such texts may legitimately be classified with the

historical inscriptions in the Library, as the extracts were undoubtedly

copied or compiled from records similar to those preserved in the ^

Library Collection.

An equally valid reason may be found for regarding the bulk of the royal and official letter-tablets from Kouyunjik as part of the Library. Those which deal with military campaigns, and were written and despatched to the king by his generals in the field, may well have been preserved, after the close of the campaigns which gave them birth, in virtue of their great historical interest. And when once a collection of epistolary texts had become recognized as a subsidiary branch of the Library, it is easy to understand that it would gradually have been enlarged to cover all royal correspondence of whatever character.^ Hence the inclusion of such documents as astrological reports and addresses to the oracle of the Sun-god, all of which had been received or issued in the king's name ; and these would have had, moreover, a permanent interest for the Assyrian chronicler. Many of the legal documents, census-returns and tribute- lists also fall under this category ; but there is no doubt that a large proportion of the contract-tablets, and all the account-lists and

1 They were usually buried or immured near entrances, often behind the limestone bulls which flanked an entrance to a room or passage-way.

2 It is indeed far from improbable that a collection of royal documents, of a non-literary character, originally formed the nucleus around which the Library gathered ; and this original character would doubtless never have been discarded, in spite of Ashur-bani-pal's enthusiasm for literary texts.

XIV INTRODUCTION.

memoranda, though found on the palace-mound, were never part of the Royal Library. The Kouyunjik Collection, in fact, comprises all the inscriptions upon clay which have been found at Kouyunjik, even clay sealings which the Assyrians themselves never intended to preserve.

The probability has already been noted that one section of the Royal Library was stored in the "Northern Palace" of Ashur-bani-pal, and it is certain that some others of the texts, which Ashur-bani-pal collected, were placed by him, not in any portion of the royal palace, but in the library attached to a small temple of NabtJ near the com- plex of palace-buildings. This fact has long been recognized from the colophons upon K. 4323, K. 2529, K. 4614, etc., which record that Ashur-bani-pal, after having had those texts inscribed, deposited them in the library of the temple of Nabi^, his lord, "which is in Nineveh."^

It maybe noted that the colophons prove

PLAN OF THE SUPPLEMENT. XV

Parts of" similar colophons are found upon Nos. 434, 444 and 648 of the Supplement, and it is certain that a number of other fragments, especially some of those inscribed with explanatory lists, are to be grouped with them. But such texts undoubtedly form a very inconsiderable proportion of the total number recovered at Kouyunjik, so that for all practical purposes the bulk of the literary, religious and explanatory texts in the Kouyunjik Collection may be regarded as coming from the Palace Library.

II. — Plan of the Supplement to the Catalogue of the Kouyunjik Collection.

Since the publication of the Catalogue a number of additions have been made to the Kouyunjik Collection, and it is with these that the Supplement is concerned. The most important are those tablets which have been acquired as a result of excavations conducted by the Trustees on the palace-mound of Nineveh in the years 1903, 1904^ and 1905, including a small collection of the year 1902. These are arranged at the beginning of the Supplement in the chrono- logical order of the collections. The numbers which follow them are assigned to small fragments of texts which were obtained during the earlier expeditions, but were considered at the time of their accjuisition to be of too small an importance to justify their incorporation in the numbered collection of tablets. Hence, at the time the Catalogue was compiled, they remained unnumbered and were not included with the rest. But even comparatively small fragments of the Collection possess an importance, quite irrespective of their size, Prom tlie possibility of their joining other tablets and completing gaps in the literary texts. Though by tliemselves these fragments, after their inclusion in the Collection, would scarcely have justified the publication of a supplementary volume of the Catalogue, advantage has been taken of the issue of the present work to make them available for study.

that ■^■^ bf^ y^ ( — girginakhu, cf. Meissuer, Seltene aasyrische Ideogramme, p. 363) was the word for a " library," at any rate for one attaclied to a temple. In his Palace Library colophons Ashur-baui-pal simply employs the word ekallu, " palace"; see above, p. xii, n. 1.

XVI INTBODUCTION.

Whenever it has been possible to determine the date of the collection to which such a fragment belonged, the information has been included under the entry in the Catalogue. But for the sake of simplicity, and in view of the fact that it is impossible to ascertain the date at which many of them were acquired, consecutive " K -numbers" have been assigned to all, beginning with the number following the last entry in Vol. Ill of the Catalogue. The third and last class of accessions comprises some twenty-two pieces, which have been added to the Collection by purchase between the years 1901 and 1913. One of these had been long in private possession ; the rest, which mainly consist of fragments of foundation -prisms, were probably obtained by native digging.^ These purchases are grouped together and placed last in the Supplement, to allow of possible additions being made during the process of printing, without the necessity of breaking the sequence of collection -numbers.

The plan of the Supplement follows in all essentials that of the Catalogue, but some slight modifications have been introduced. As in the earlier volumes, the tablets are arranged in the order of their registration-numbei-s, but, for greater convenience of reference, a catalogue-number, printed in heavier type, has been prefixed to each entry. The catalogue-numbers run in an unbroken sequence throughout the volume, and their employment for reference in the General Index has proved far less cumbersome than the old method of citing the registration-numbers in full ; they have also rendered additional reference to the pages of the volume superfluous It is hoped that the use of heavier type, in place of spaced letters, for the principal words of description under each entry in the body of the book, will add to the clearness of the page.

The terminology of the Catalogue has also been retained as far as possible. Perhaps the most material departure consists in

1 The important prisms of Senuachei'ib, which give valuable informatiou with regard to the walls and gates of Nineveh, may well have come from the principal gate in the northern wall. The limestone bull and the adjoining colossal winged figure, which flanked a portion of this gateway up to a few years ago, have since been broken up for lime by the natives ; and the prisms may well have been found within the massive walls of uuburnt brick which were faced by the stone slabs.

PLAN OF THE SUPPLEMENT. XVll

the abolition of the dual classification of the augural texts, under the headings "Forecasts" and "Omens." Both classes here- share the general title of " Omens," while those texts, which were previously separated as " Forecasts," fall under the sub-sections of " Astrological Omens," and " Omens derived from observation of the Liver." The precise character of the Liver Omens has only been recognized since the publication of the Catalogue, but, even in the case of the astrological texts, the dual classification did not correspond to any essential difference between them and the Omens. This is apparent from the close correspondence of the apodoses in both, which are generally so nearly identical, that in the case of broken tablets, on which the protases are not preserved, it is often impossible to decide whether the predictions were based on celestial or terrestrial phenomena. The adoption of a single heading to cover both classes has thus the additional advantage of removing a possibility of error, which was necessarily present in classifying many of the smaller fragments.

A very similar point of uncertainty exists with regard to the character of many fragments of the religious and magical texts from Kouyunjik. In the case of a well-preserved tablet in either category there is little difiiculty, for example, in deciding whether it should be described as a "Prayer" or an "Incantation." It is true that few prayers have been recovered which do not share in some degree the aim and general character of the magical texts, and much of the phraseology of the latter, if taken from its context, suggests a far higher ethical standard than was actually attained. But in view of the fact that a real distinction can be traced in many of the compositions, the dual classification has in this instance been retained. The general heading of " Religious Texts " has also not been discarded, but an attempt has been made to reduce its propor- tions as far as possible by suggesting one of the sub-headings under which a fragment of this character might most probably be regarded as falling. A few other unimportant modifications in the terminology of the Catalogue need not here be discussed, as they are sufficiently explained by means of cross-references in the General Index.

XVlii INTRODUCTION.

III. — The Additions to the Kouyunjik Collection and the

Royal Library : (i) Historical Inscriptions and

Foundation-records.

The texts of this class will be found in the General Index under the heading " Historical Inscriptions," or, when they have been identified, under the names of the kings by whose orders they were drawn up. The earliest are those of Tiglath-pileser I. One of these is part of an octagonal prism of baked clay,^ and is a duplicate of the famous prisms of this ruler which were recovered by Lajard in the foundations of the temple of Ann and Adad in the earlier Assyrian capital at Ashur. The concluding portion of the text, referring to the building in the foundations of which the prism must have been buried, is unfortunately wanting ; but the fact that the fragment was found in the debris of the palace-mound of Kouyunjik affords interesting evidence of Tiglath-pileser I's activity as a builder on the site of the later palaces at Nineveh. The other two fragments,^ to judge from the character of the writing and the clay, were also contemporary records, and we may assume that they were preserved as original documents in the Roytil Library ; their historical character is evident, one of the texts recording the receipt of spoil or tribute from the land of Kummukh.

It will be unnecessary here to refer in detail to the majority of the newly recovered historical inscriptions of Sennacherib, Esarhaddon, and Ashur-bani-pal, as it will be seen from the entries in the Supplement that they furnish duplicates, with some interesting variants, to texts already known.^ An exception may be made of the pentagonal prism of Esarhaddon, No. 38, which records the inauguration of his Babylonian policy. The text forms an

1 No. 116. 2 Nos. 453 and 488.

^ With the inscriptions of Ashur-bani-pal, cited on p. 229, may be included No. 792a (Th. 1905-4-9, 446; cf. p. 78), a duplicate of Rui. 1 (C««. Inscr. West. Asia, V, 1 ff.), Col. V, 11, 16-38 ; Col. VI, 11. 20-29.

HISTORICAL INSCRIPTIONS. XIX

interesting parallel to the " Black Stone Inscription " of Esarhaddon/ describing, as it does, the desolation of Babylon, and the king's restoration of the city at the beginning of his reign. The pentagonal form of the prism is most unusual, and was evidently dictated by the paucity of the material for record as yet at the disposal of the scribes.^

Another of the more valuable of the new historical texts is an octagonal prism of Sennacherib, No. 3330, which is in great part a duplicate of No. 3329,^ but omits the sections describing the campaigns of 696 and 695 B.C. It is dated in Marcheswan, 696 B.C., one year and nine months earlier than No. 3329, and its principal feature of interest is the variant account it gives of the gates of Nineveh during the reconstruction of the city by Sennacherib. The new text proves that in the interval between the two inscriptions Sennacherib changed the title of one of the gates, entirely renamed another, and pierced an additional gate on the west or river side. The classification of the gates, which also differs, enables us to fix their positions with greater certainty.

The course of Sennacherib's walls is now marked by lines ot high mounds, and, although the city had four sides, it is clear that the walls enclosed an area of irregular shape. The side which fronted the river faced south-west, and at right angles to this side, up stream, ran a shorter side facing north-west. Now in both inscriptions we have three groups of gates, the first described as " towards the sun-rise, facing south and east," the second group as "facing the north," and the third group as "facing the west." There can be no dcubt that the third and second groups were situated respectively in the river-wall and in the north wall running at right angles to it, to which we have just referred. Of the remaining sides of the city, as it can be traced at the present day,

1 Cf. Cun. Imcr. of West. Asia, "Vol. I, pi. 49.

2 The prism is dated in the month lyyar of the year of Esarhaddon's accession.

the wall away from the stream, but running parallel to it, forms the longest of the sides. It runs in a slight curve and faces roughly east-north-east ; while the remaining side of the city is very short, not more than one thousand yards in length, and it faces, approxi- mately, south. The greater number of the gates which form the first group in both inscriptions must have pierced the long wall, facing east-north-east, and referred to as facing " east " in the texts, for it is clear that Sennacherib's description of the orientation of the gates is approximate only. But some of the gates of the first group are referred to in the group's summary as facing south as well as east, so that we may infer that one or more, in both lists, were set in the southern wall of the city. The following table will serve to indicate which gates in the two lists correspond to one another : —

From the table it will be noted that in the new text the first group consists of eight gates in place of seven ; the second group consists of three gates in each list ; while the third group in the new text contains three gates in place of five. One of the most striking points of variation is that the XVth gate of the later

HISTORICAL INSCRIPTIONS. XXI

inscription, i.e., the last one on the west side is here counted as the first gate in the south (and east) group. From the fact that it could be counted as either in the south or the west wall of the city we may infer that it must have pierced the city-wall in the south- west corner, near the point of junction of the two walls. It is possible that its position may have been slightly altered in the interval ; but against this possibility it may be urged that the first gap in this corner of the walls at the present day is on the south rather than on the west side, and that the name and title both remained unchanged. We may conclude that it was quite close to the corner. This is an important fact, for it fixes definitely the position of the gate at the beginning and end respectively of the two lists, and renders the identification of the sites of the remaining gates more certain.

The remaining seven gates on the south and east sides correspond, except that one of the gates (V = IV) has on the new cylinder a different title,^ but retains its name " The Gate of Ninlil of the City of Kar- Ninlil." The third gate on the north side has, not only a new title, but a new name as well. In 696 B.C. it was known as " The Gate of the Gardens,"^ a name evidently suggested by its proximity to Sennacherib's famous gardens and plantations which lay partly on the north side of the city ; possibly one of the more important irrigation-channels for the gardens left the Tigris near the gate. This character was also reflected in the choice of the deity to whom it was dedicated, and in its title, which in the new text reads : " Igisigsig, who has made the fruit plantations luxuriant."^ But by 694 B.C. the gate was re-dedicated, this time to the Moon-god ; its title was changed to " Nannar who guards my lordly diadem,"* and the gate was known as " The Gate of Sin." ^ It is possible that it was re-named after re-construction, but even so, its position may well have remained unaltered.

xxii INTRODUCTION.

On the west or river side we find that the XIITth Gate of the year 694 B.O. had not yet been constructed in G96 B.C. This was the gate known as " The Gate of the land of Bari," which bore the title " The presents of Surau'an and T6me enter it." It lay between the Gate of the Armoury (beside Nebi Yunus) and the Quay Gate, and was evidently built to give additional access to the river. Its name and title were probably chosen to com- memorate the receipt of certain tribute, which having arrived by river, or having been ferried across, may have been brought into Nineveh by the new gate. It has already been noted that Gate XV of the year 694 B.C. had formerly been reckoned as Gate I. Thus, at the earlier date, there were only three gates on the river side of the city in place of five. The following paragraphs give the passages in the two prisms in which the gates are referred to, together with a list of the variant readings in their names and titles supplied by the new text : — ^

1st Gate (No. 3330, Col. VII, 11. 14 f.) = XVth Gate (No. 3329, Col. VIII, 1. 3). Variant : In title, a-a-hi (^) for a-a-ab.

Ilnd Gate (No. 3330, Col. VII, 11. 16 f.) = Ist Gate (No. 3329, Col. VII,

I. 74). Variant: In title, lil-bur, |<^ £V. for ^i-^^. t^e title reading, " May the representative of Ashur endure ! ", in place of, " May the representative of Ashur be strong I "^

Ilird Gate (No. 3330, Col. VII, 11. 18 f.) = Ilnd gate (No. 3329, Col. VII,

II. 75 f.). No variants.

IVth Gate (No. 3330, Col. VII, 11. 20 f.) = llird Gate (No. 3329, Col. VII, 1. 77). Variants : In title, pale{e), .-fc=y4- tf^, for pali-ia ; in name, {ilu)Sa-mas, ^4- ^ Hh. for {i/u)Sa>iias, -Hh"^!. and {mdUi)Ga-a-(jal? tyyy* y? t}", for {mdtu)Ga-gal.

^<

1 The portion of Col. VII, which is preserved by No. 3330 of this Supplement, begins with Col. VII, 1. 63, of No. 3329 ; the only variants in the preliminary lines referring' to the walls and gates are : i-na for ina (1. 64), raJ>e(e) for rabi{i) in 1. 65, and <C^ for <('^ , as the total number of gates in 1. 70.

2 The interchange of the verb li-bur, from root "11M, "to be strong," with lil-bitr, from root-i^'^, lit., "to grow old," as applied both to persons and things, is not uncommon in votive texts and building-inscriptions.

3 This variant is interesting, as it settles the value of the first syllable of the name Gagal.

Vth Gate (No. 3330, Col. VII, 11. 22 f.) = IVth Gate (No. 3329, Col. VII, 11. 78 f.). Variants : No. 3330 gives an entirely different title for the gate, which reads, ^>f 2TT ""^ ?? t^ET <M '^^ ^. (^V^t)/«-ter za-nin irsiti-s2i (1), " Ishtar, patroness of his land(?)," bnt the name is imaltered.

IXth Gate (No. 3330, Col. VII, 11. 30-32) = Vlllth Gate (No. 3329, Col. VII, 11. 86-88). Variant: In name, sa (mdtu)Am-ba-si for Sa Am-ba-si (tlie reading of No. 3329 and also of K. 4492, Eev., 1. 5), the whole name running, " The Gate of Adad of the land of Ambasi," proving that Ambasi is to be taken as a place-name.^

Xth Gate (No. 3330, Col. VII, 11. 33 f.) =.IXth Gate (No. 3329, Col. VII, 11. 89 f.). Variants: The title reads, -Hh -^f |-yy ►^ tyyys: tfyy y? y? ^, (ilu)U'r-ra mu-sam-Mt a-a-bi, " Urra, who overthrows my foes," in place of (ilu) Ur-ra sa-a-giS za-ma-ni-ia, " Urra, who destroys my enemies." In this reading of the title the new prism agrees with K. 4492, Eev., 1. 6, which reads [ -sa]m-kit a-a-bi-i[a].-

* Partly effaced.

' It is clear that yndtu is here a determinative and that the name is not to be rendered abvl {ilu)Adad sa mat am-ba-si, " The Gate of Adad of the fertile land " {lit., "land of fertility"); for in every other gate-name, in which there is an addition to the name of the patron, whether human or divine, this addition is of a geographical ciiaracter. Thus, the rendering "The Gate of Adad of the land of Ambasi," is paralleled by " The Gate of Ashur of the city of Ashur," " The Gate of Sennacherib of the land of Khaizi," "The Gate of Shamash of the land of GTigal," " The Gate of Ninlil of the city of Kar-Niulil," aud " The Gate of Nergal of the city of Tarbis." The gate-names may also be compared wliich contain a geographical term without the name of a patron, e.g., "The Gate of the city of Shibaniba (or Shibaniln)," " The Gate of the land of Khatamkhi," and "The Gate of the land of Bari " ; cf. Cun. Texts in the Brit. Mvs., Pt. XXVI, pp. 18 f., 27 f.

Xlth Gate (No. 3330, Col. VII, 11. 35 f.) = Xth Gate (No. 3329, Col. VII, 1. 91).

In both name and title K. 4492, Eev., 11. 8 f., agrees with No. 3330.

Summary (No. 3330, Col. VII, 11. 36-38) = Summary (No. 3329, Col. VII, 11. 92 f.). Variant: {sdru)il-ta-a-[ni] for (Mru)il-ta-ni of No. 3329 and K. 4492.

Of the foundation-inscriptions devoted entirely to records of build- ing operations at Nineveh, and not preceded by liistorical summaries, mention may be made of some interesting portions of barrel-cylinders^ bearing an inscription of Sin-shar-ishkun, one of the sons of Ashur- bani-pal and probably the last occupant of the Assyrian throne. These new pieces; when combined with the fragments of this ruler's barrel-cylinders which are already known, will serve to fill in a good many of the gaps in the text of his inscription. Of the royal votive

iuscriptions, which may also be included in this section, it may be noted that the inscribed clay plaque and clay fist of Ashur-nasir-paP were, like the votive clay bowls,^ intended for deposit in a temple and were not Included in the Royal Library.

(ii) Epistolary Texts, Royal and Official.

Among tlie best preseived texts in the new collections are some of the letters which the king received from the higher officials of his court. It is natural that but few royal letters should have been recovered, since copies were evidently only kept of the more impor- tant communications despatched. Fortunately we have one fine example of this class, in a comparatively good state of preservation. This is the letter written by Ashur-bani-pal to his high ofiicer Menana, concerning the Babylonian and Elamite revolt.^ Another fine specimen of a royal letter is that addressed to Ashur-bani-pal by his brother Shamash-shum-ukin, not a sign of which is wanting.* Less well preserved is the letter, also addressed to Ashur-bani-pal, from Tammaritu of Elam.^ Among the finer specimens of official correspondence may be mentioned a letter from Arad-Nana, the court physician, giving the king encouragement during a period of illness" ; or that from Marduk-ushallim-akh6, concerning victims for sacrifice,^ or the nearly complete letter from Ashur-khamatia.^ Among officials, whose letters have been recovered, the Royal Astrologers are well represented. One of the finest of these

astrological letters is that from Nabti-akh§-riba/ assuring the king that the time and circumstances were most propitious for granting an interview to the Crown Prince.

Other Royal Astrologers, who are represented in the series of letters, are Akkullanu, Arad-Gula, Balasi, Bel-ushezib, Ishtar-shum- eresh, Marduk-shakin-shumi, and Nergal-shum-iddina ; while the list of official correspondents also includes two eponym rulers, Sharru- imurani and Takl4k-ana-beli.^ Among the letters are also some interesting official ones, from which the names of the writers are wanting. Such is the letter, No. 218, addressed to the king by one of his astrologers, and referring to offerings that should be made to Marduk at the New Year's Festival. Some letters of this class, in which the opening lines are broken or wanting, are in other respects comjjaratively well preserved.'' It was to be expected that but few letters of a private character should be recovered. A fine specimen is No. 683, written by NabA-khammatua to Kushkaa {i.e., Kushkdia*), and evidently never despatched, as it was recovered with its envelope unbroken. On the obverse of the envelope are written the address and the writer's name, separated by an impression of the latter 's seaP ; and on the lower edge of the envelope Kushkaa had added an additional salutation, conveying "Warm greetings to my lord!" On pp. 244 ff. an attempt has been made to furnish a detailed classification of the letters and letter-fragments by their contents, to which the reader may be referred for further details.

Under this section a reference should perhaps be made to the fine specimens of clay-sealings which have been recovered." Several

of these are impressed with the regular official seal, oval in shape, and engraved with the royal figure in conflict with a lion. One of them is from a corded bundle which was despatched to Nineveh in the early part of Sennacherib's reign, since it is dated on the first of Marcheswan, in the eponymy of Ashur-bel-usur, 695 B.C. A novel series of sealings is preserved by Nos. 465-467, on which circular seals are impressed representing an Assyrian king, who stands beneath an umbrella held by an attendant, while before him is a rearing horse.^ The use of seals engraved with the royal figure was obviously only permitted to high officials in the king's service. The horse-design may well have distinguished the official seal of the king's Master of the Horse.

(iii) Legal and Commercial Documents.

As in the earlier collections from Kouyunjik, the majority of the legal deeds and documents are concerned with the transfer of landed property. They record in legal form the sale or hire of land and houses, and the division of estates. The contract-tablets also include sales of slaves, and loans of silver, copper and corn.^ One interesting find was a portion of the clay case from a contract,^ the tablet to which it belonged having been in the earliest consignment of docu- ments brought to England from Kouyunjik by the late Sir Henry Layard. The tablet records the loan of two camels, dated in the eponymy of Sharru-nliri, 674 B.C., and the newly-recovered case enables us to restore some missing portions of the text. Many of the documents bear seal-impressions upon spaces left blank by the scribe across the upper half of the obverse, and a number of specimens of sealed documents are reproduced by photography on Plate II. One of the larger tablets there given,* which records the sale of a

house in the town of Nibit-Ishtar, bears the impression of a cylinder- seal which has been rolled across the clay. The completely preserved case-tablet,^ recording a loan of silver in the year 667 B.C., also bears impressions of a cylinder-seal, which ha3 been rolled across the centre of the case on both its obverse and reverse. Examples of oval seal-impressions are represented by Nos. 83 and 221,^ which record sales of slaves dated respectively in the years 675 and 680 B.C. One specimen is figured which bears nail-marks in place of seal- impressions^ ; it records a sale of land in 741 or 727 B.C.

A complete list of the seal -impressions i.s included in the General Index,* and reference may here be confined to a single example of unusual interest, which is not described in detail under the catalogue- entry relating to its text. The contract in question belongs to the class of triangular or " heart-shaped " tablets which record loans of grain, and it bears on its obverse two impressions of a scarab.'' In the centre of each impression is a cartouche containing the prenomen of Thothmes III, Men-kheper-Kd, above the iieh-s\gn, and between two nefer-signs and two uraei wearing the White Crown. There is a design above the cartouche, possibly a winged disk, but it is not clearly impressed. The arrangement of the signs upon the impres- sions is as follows :

The following is a list of the dated documents, and of documents containing dates, which are arranged, as far as possible, in a chrono- logical sequence ; they are followed by documents of uncertain date, enumerated under the names of their eponyms in alphabetical order : —

1 Other evidence of Egyptian influence at Nineveh may be seen in No. 414, a scarab inscribed v?ith the formula "a going to (Eastern) Thebes," vvfliich dates from the eleventh or tenth century n.c. and was probably carried to Nineveh by a merchant or other traveller who had visited Egypt (see below, p. 48). Another scarab. No. G27 (see pp. 66 f.), bears, like the impressions on No. 93, the prenomen of Thothmes III, but is rather later in date, about 700-650 b.c. The cartouche of blue paste, No. 413 (see p. 48), carved with a garbled form of the Egyptian royal name Seti, was probably the work of an Assyrian craftsman of about the eighth century b.c, in imitation of an Egyptian original.

^ It is possible that this eponymy is merely referred to on the reverse of No. 840, and is not to be taken as dating the document ; it is also possible that the tablet contains a copy of an older text. But the suggested restoration of the name is not certain.

8 The shape of the tablet, the clay of which it is composed, and the forms of the characters, are all in favour of assigning it to this comparatively early period. In that case we are enabled to restore the name of the eponym for the year 7'J9 B.C.,

only the first half of which, [y] >^ * J:^* Cf [ ] , is preserved in

Three documents in the Supplement are dated, not by eponyms, but by the regnal years of the king. One of these, No. 478, is a Baby- lonian, not an Assyrian, text, and it is dated by the Babylonian king. It consists of a note, which accompanied the gift of a garment " for day wear,"^ sent by the scribe Atkal-ana-Bel from Babylon to Nineveh ; it was natural that the writer should date it by his own king. The note was written on the 17th Marcheswan, in the first year of Merodach-baladan, i.e., 720 B.C. The second dated docu- ment of this sort is No. 174, a contract-tablet, which is dated in the twenty-first year of Sennacherib, without any reference to eponym, month, or day. The date reads : «^ -Hf- -^I «T ] <« -^ ]>*■ '-«<yy « \* ,-J^ <(|gf, and, though the beginning of the line is broken, nothing is wanting ; but it is possible that a date by the eponym in office was given in the missing portion of the text, and that the document should therefore be classified as containing a " double date."^ The third document is No. 38, the pentagonal prism of Esarhaddon, which is dated simply in the year of his accession. At such a time it was

(iv) MVTHOI-OGICAL LEQByDS.

In lIk* Kouyunjik Collection a comparatively small proportion of thn lablots are inHoribed with mythological legends, and it is a nuUtcr for (ioiignitulation that one of the new texts should enable UH to restore n substantial portion of the text of the Gilyanu'sh Epic.

(v) Religious and Magical Texts.

The Geuei-al Index may also be consulted for classified lists of the fiur larger jumiber of texts which fall under this category. Reference has already been made to the retention in the Supplement of the distinction between "Prayers "and " Incj\ntations,''' Under the former heading- are ranged fragments of the Series -t^jf -CtJ ET

JT tTTT*2IIT }" 1^, or " Prayers of the Raising of the Hand" ;

portions of royal prayers, including some written for the use of Asliur-baiii-pil ; a few fntgments of prayers addressed to the greater deities;' and a number of other fragments, which from their con- tents, or from the character of their writing, appeiir to belong possibly to classes of compositions of a more personal or ethici\l character. The great bulk of the religious and mai[ic<\l texts are cltissifieil under the general heading of " Incantations."* The new texts include portions of the Series -V ^, Shurpu ; of the Series ET -SF mi tTTTt, MaUA; of tlie Series cTTTT ^ ^. ^f< nilru;^ and a number of incantations against evil spirits, several of which probably belong to the Series T»^y»^f <T-IfcJ T? T"*^- Many of the Sumerijui incantations are furnished with interlinear Assyrian trans- IiUions, and in one ease the text and translation are arraniwd in parallel columns.* Many of the incantations are accompanied by directions for ceremonies, and the fragments enumerated under the latter heading" should be consulteti for comj^arison, as the majority

probably belong to incantation-texts. The magical texts also include a considerable number of fragments belonging to series containing prescriptions for the sick.^ Of special interest is the Babylonian text, No. 498, which contains directions for offerings and for the due recital of incantations, in order to avert harm from evil portents which may have happened to a prince when travelling in his chariot."-' It should be added that this tablet is not one of those from the Royal Library ; from its colophon we learn that the text was copied from an original at Babylon, but that the copy had been made, not for Ashur-bani-pal's palace, but for the private use of Nabu-ushallim, the magician, the son of Egibi. It is interesting to find this famous Babylonian name on a tablet from Kouyunjik.

(vi) AuouRAL, Astrological and Astronomical Texts.

All the augural texts in the Supplement, as has already been noted,^ are described and classified under the general heading of " Omens," and it will not be necessary to recapitulate here the various sub-headings into which this large mass of material is broken up on pp. 252 ff. of the General Index. It will suffice to note that omens from terrestrial phenomena of various kinds are first enume- rated, beginning with those derived from births. Then follow the Liver-omens, classified by the separate parts of the liver, upon the observation of which the forecasts in the apodoses are based.* The numerous texts containing astrological omens are next given, arranged in groups according to the heavenly bodies, or the celestial phenomena, from wliich they are derived.^ It may be noted that some of the omen-texts contain references to Sargon and Naram-Sin of Akkad, and Ibil-Sin of Ur ; while a fresh fragment has been found

' To the texts of this class cited on p. 255 may also be added No. 792 c (Th. 1905-4-9, 448 ; cf. p. 78), the bottom right-hand corner of a tablet, 2J in. by lif in., containing 9 4- 10 lines froin the last column of the Obverse and the first of the Reverse. For Nos. 792a and J, see above, p. xviii, n. 3, and p. xxxiv, n. 8.

2 A photograph of the tablet is given on Plate IV. ^ See above, pp. xvi f.

* For a specimen of the texts containing liver-omens, see Plate V, No. 167,

'•> One of the texts containing omens derived from Mars, the Moon, etc., is included on Plate III, No. 130.

OMENS AND ASTROLOGY. XXXVll

of the interesting omen-text relating to the Assyrian king Ashur- nirari.' With the astrological omens some of the miscellaneous fragments, cited under the heading " Astrological Texts, "^ should be compared.

Another group of texts, which falls under this section, are the Astrological Reports.^ Those on which the names of the writers are preserved include reports from the Royal Astrologers Tshtar- shiim-eresh, Nabu-akhe-riba, NabA-ikbi, NabA-mushesi, Tabia, Zakir, and probably Irashi-ilu. Photographs of two of these, Nos. 69 and 76, are included on Plate IV ; the former is from Ishtar-shum-eresh, the latter from NabA-ikbi. Under the heading of Astrological Reports may be included No. 90, a document in the form of a letter or communication to the king, which was evidently written by one of the Royal Astrologers.* The writer interprets the meaning of various astrological phenomena, which had recently been giving rise to anxiety. Not only had there been a solar eclipse and a diminu- tion of the normal rainfall, but certain observations had been taken of the planets Mars and Jupiter ; and in the view of the writer of the I'eport the movements of Mars had special reference to the Cimmerians. The additions to the Collection also include some fragments of purely astronomical texts, which record the relative positions of different stars ; it is to be regretted that so little is preserved of No. 3304, since it also included notes on their distances from one another.^

(vii) Syllabaries and Explanatory Texts.

The small fragments of syllabaries catalogued in the Supplement are enumerated under their three classes " S"," " S"* " and " S"," on pp. 260 f of the General Index ; two of the more interesting

XXXVIU INTRODUCTION.

fragments of "S*"" are Nos. 1361 and 1 362. A number of explanatory texts, relating to different classes of literary compositions, are grouped together on p. 237. But the bulk of the texts of an explanatory character are classified on pp. 246 f. of the Index, under the heading " Lists, explanatory." The sub-headings follow the lines of the Index in Vol. V of the Kouyunjik Catalogue, and require no explanation. But attention may perhaps be called to two portions of explanatory lists which furnish interesting information. No. 119 includes some valuable glosses, giving the Sumerian pro- nunciation of certain sign-groups; and No. 419, which contains an explanatory list of ideograms and Sumerian phrases, arranged in groups according to their initial characters, furnishes several new equivalents for simple and compound ideograms. Two specimens of explanatory texts are included on Plate VI. The smaller tablet. No. 51, is an explanatory list of gods, arranged in three columns, and it enables us partly to restore the text of K. 171 + K. 2112. The larger tablet. No. 416, contains Grammatical Paradigms of a legal or commercial character and is a duplicate of K. .56 -|- K. 60, etc., the text of which it partly restores. Other tablets of" this class are noted on p. 238 of the General Index.

The following pages contain the Supplement to the Kouyunjik Collection, the plan of which has been already described. It may be added that the space saved by the employment of Catalogue-numbers for reference in the General Index has been there utilized for a more detailed classification than would otherwise have been possible. The second Index contains a list of the Collection-numbers repre- sented in the Supplement. In the third Index an attempt has been made to give a complete list of the fragments which have been rejoined in the whole of the Kouyunjik Collection up to the time of printing. The "joins" have been checked throughout with the tablets themselves, and in all cases of uncertainty the original registration of the separate fragments has been consulted.
