PREFACE.

IN the preparation of this Volume of the "Catalogue of the Cuneiform


Tablets in the Kouyunjik Collection," the plan followed in the first Volume
has been somewhat modified:
1. The details of form and state of preservation of the tablets and
the writing have been omitted, and unless otherwise stated the
writing is Assyrian.
2. To indicate the number of lines and columns on the tablets a special
system has been adopted, e.g.-
a. "12 + 11 lines," i.e., 12 lines on obverse and 11 on reverse;
b. "32 + 32 + 31 + 17 + 12 + 16 lines," i.e., the number of
lines in a tablet of six columns, three on each side;
c. "10 +.....lines," i.e., 10 lines on obverse, the reverse
lost;
d. "9 lines," i.e., 9 lines on obverse; the reverse blank;
e. 5 + 7 lines," i.e., 5 lines on obverse and 7 on reverse; but
the minus sign is added to indicate the possibility of the
7 lines being on the obverse and the 5 on the reverse;
f. < ... . "i.e., the loss of two or more columns.
The entire collection of tablets from Kouyunjik has been carefully
examined, and parallel texts, duplicates and completing portions have
been indicated.
The "Index to the Cuneiform Inscriptions of Western Asia," with
additional and revised register-numbers, has been appended.
