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 I 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
Edward H. Virgin, for their
City, as well as to the Librarian of that institution, Mr.
continued courtesies in connection with my work on the Hoffman Collection; and
also to Sir C. Purdon Clarke and Mr. Edward Robinson, of the MetropoUtan Museum
of Art, for allowing me to copy the only known text of Sin-shum-ltshir. Through
the kindness of Dr. Wm. Hayes Ward, who presented the tablet to the Museum,
I learn that he purchased it in the winter or spring of 1884-5, at or near Baghdad
(see p. 2). In 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 pubUcation of these texts.

INTRODUCTION
The texts from Nippur of those here pubUshed were excavated on the first,
second and third expeditions which were sent out 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 chiefiy 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 '
skirted 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 the 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
it 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.\ Kh?, and /. D. P. Collections of the University, also from
the E. A. H. Collection of the General Theological Seminary, and one from the
MetropoUtan Museum of Art, New York City." The latter text (No. 141), which
is the only one of the reign of Sin-shum-ltshir that is known, was published some
In the 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, Nippur, Vol. I, facing page 242, which shows the hills and the
trenches of the first expedition, and also in Vol. II, facing page 172, for the trenches of the second expedition.

Cf. the "Description of Tablets " for a brief statement concerning the origin of these collections. This volume
contains all the Neo-Babylonian texts of the /. D. P Collection, namely three. Professor Barton of Bryn Mawr
published the texts of Kh.' in The American Journal of Semitic Languages, Vol. XVI, No. 2. The J. S. and Kh.^
Collections contain many additional fragments and partially effaced tablets which, without a close examination, appear
to be of comparatively]^little value.

years ago by Doctor A. B. Moldenke.' Inasmuch as it is dated at 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. 1 in my B. E., Vol. X,
which is dated at Babylon, and yet it was found in the Murashit archives at Nippur,
to which it belonged. Even document do not seem to be
the witnesses of this
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-lish-ir taljlet, 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 ]\Ioldenke, 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, but of a person. The fact that in the
documents of the Murashu sons, Rimut-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 lê referred to is the interesting oath formula of texts
Nos. 4 and 58, the latter reading as follows:
a-na la e-ni [sha-ta]-ri a-na ah-rat umu{mu)
nish Ellil u NIN-[LIL Hani] dli-shu-nu zak-ru
nish NINIB u N'usku [ra-bi-isf shul-lum-shu-nu zak-ru
nish ""Kur-ra-ash shar matati shar shardni heli-shu-nu zak-ru.
That they would not alter the tablet to the end of days, they swore by EUil 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, NINIB and Nusku in the oath formulas of
Nippur documents, cf. my B. E., Vol. XV, p. 2.

ASSYRIAN, KEO-BABYLONIAN AND PERSIAN PERIODS. 3
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-
tionahzed, in much
same manner that the seals are often printed in documents
the
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 V.
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, PL 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 Tontafelschreibens.
As early as 1877, Boscawen' 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

For this purpose I have examined the dates of the tablets published by Peiser, Keilscriftliche Acten-Stiicke,

' Oppert, Roi d'Assyrie, Z. A., VII, p. 341, gives several dates of KandaUinu up to 21-2-13 from tablets which
do not seem to have been published. Pinches, Proc. Soc. Bib. Arch., 1882-3, Vol. V, p. 6, refers to tablets dated in
the reign of Kandaldnu. Doubtless these are the texts referred to by Oppert. The dates given are 6-6-4; 10-12-17;
12-12-4; 16-5-8; 16-6-13; 19-9-23; 19-12-13; 21-2-13.

In some instances it 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-uMn is 15-1-14,
cf. Peiser, B. V., II; of Kandaldnu is 13-7-15, cf. Moldenke, C. T. M. M., Part II,
No. 5; oi Nabu-apal-usur is 19-6-30, ibid., No. 15; oi Nabu-kudurri-usur is 43-4-27,
cf. Strassmaier, Nbk., No. 415; ofAmel-Marduk is 12-5-4, cf. Evetts, Ev., No. 24;
of Nergal-shar-usur is 2-5-3, cf. Ungnad, V. S., No. 43; of Nabu-nd'id is 17-8-10,
cf. Strassmaier, Nb7i., No. 1054; of Kurash is 9-5-13, cf. Clay, B. E., VIII, 74; of
Kambuzia is 7-7-1, cf. Ungnad, V. S., No. 86; of Barzia is 1-6-20, cf. Strassmaier,
Z. A., IV, p. 152; of Dariamush I is 36-6-13, cf. Ungnad, V. S., No. 165; of Ahshiar-
shu is 5-4-2, cf. Evetts, Xer., No. 5; of Artahshatsu I is 41-9-12, cf. Hilprecht-Clay,
B. E., IX, No. 108, and of Dariamush II is 11-6-21, cf. Clay, B. E., X, No. 131.
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, Nabu-nd'id was
dethroned and imprisoned shortly after the 16th of Tammuz.' On the 3d of Mar-
chesvan Cyrus entered Babylon, and on the 11th Belshazzar was killed.' And
yet a tablet has been found dated in the reign of Nabu-nd'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.' Another instance that might be
cited is the reign of Artaxerxes I. The first tablet of his successor, Darius 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 earhest date given in the accession year of the ruler.
Two documents, Nos. 1 and 159, of those here published are dated in the reign
of Ashurbdnapal. Unfortunately the second is fragmentary and the date is wanting.
The three tablets, Nos. dated in the reign of Ashur-etil-ildni-(ukin) are
4, 5 and 6, ,
the only texts published' of this reign, except the two short inscriptions in Rawlinson,
Vol. I, p. 8, No. 3, which are translated by Winckler, Keilinschriftliche Bibliothek,
II, pp. 268ff. Sin-shum-ltshir, 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 fiir Assyriologie, IX, p. 39ff., is dated at Uruk. Evetts
published a second in Strassmaier, Babylonische Texte, VI, B, which is dated at
Sippara on the 20th of lyyar 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 lyyar 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-uktn, Kandaldnu and
Nabopolassar. These were not excavated at Nippur. They belong to other collec-
tions which have come from Babylon, Borsippa and Sippara. In connection with
the inscriptions from Nippur the question naturally arises. Do they of¥er any
historical data which throw light upon the closing days of the Assyrian rule?
George Smith, in 1871, in his History of Ashurbdnapal, p. 323f., was the first
to suggest that Kivri'kaha.voq and Ashurbdnapal 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 Archceology, V, p. 6
(1882), announced the discovery of tablets dated in the reign of Kandaldnu, which
he recognized to be the same as KivYilahdvoq. A little later, in 1885, Sayce
contested Smith's view that Kandaldnu was Ashurbdnapal see his Assyria, Its Princes, ;
Priests and People, pp. 53 and 159. Schrader, 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-uMn,

ASSYRIAN, NEO-BABYLONIAN AND PERSIAN PERIODS. /
Ashurbdnapal proclaimed himself king under the name Kandaldnu. In opposition

to this view, Oppert, in the first article 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, History of Babylonia, p. 140, 1895.'

The view of Smith and Schrader has been generally accepted by Assyriologists
and historians; cf. Miirdter and Delitzsch, Geschichte Bahyloniens und Assyriens,
p. 230; Lehmann, Shamashshumukm, p. 6; Winckler, Geschichte Bahyloniens und
Assyriens, pp. 135 and 289, and Keilinschriften 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, 297f. ; Maspero, Passing of the Empires, p. 423;
King, article "Babylonia" in Encyclopcedia Biblica, I, Col. 451, and Chronicles, I, p.
208; 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 Chronicorum Canonum (cf. Lehmann, Shamashshumukm, 1, p. 2,
quoting from Schoene, lib., I, pp. 27, 33 sq.) : "Etenim sub Ezekia regnavit Sinacherim,
ut Polyhistor exponit annis XVIII
eum eiusdem flius annis VIII. Postea
et post
vera Sammuges annis XXI et eius f rater annis XXI." "Post Sammugem vera Sar-
danapallus Chaldeais regnavit annis XXI." Claudius Ptolemaus, in his Canon, makes
Kivyjyia^dvog (Kandalanu) follow lâoaSovy^^cvog (Shamash-shum-ukin) . Lehmann,
Shamashshumukin, I, p. 6, in the following words, seems to represent the position
generally taken by scholars:
Shamashshumukin' s Nachfolger auf dem babylonischen Throne ist Asurhanapal.

Dieser verhdngte zivar, wie Sanherib, ein Strafgericht uber Babylon, aber er hat nicht
wie sein Grossvater, die Selbstdndigkeit des Landes vollstdndig vernichten wollen, sondern
hat, das Idsst sich aus den Canones und Datirungen schliessen, in rechtmdssiger Weise
die Herrschaft uber Babylonien angetreten. Mit seinem Bestreben, statt der factisch
bestehenden Unterordnung unter Assyrien, das Verhdltniss mdglichst als eine Personal-
union erscheinen zu lassen, wird es auch zusammenhdngen, dass er als Babylonischer
Konig seinen Namen dnderte und sich Kandal{anu) nannte {Kbnigsliste und Con-
tracttdfelchen) , ebenso wie friXher vermuthlich aus den gleichen Griinden Tiglatpileser

O LEGAL AND COMMERCIAL TKANSACTIONS
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 an autonomous government, and especially after their leaders

striving for
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 Uve, and permitted them to dwell in Babylon" {K. B., 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.' It occurs in Johns, Assyrian Deeds and
Documents (cf. Vol. Ill, 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), and of a seller (No. 500). As a slave
in No. 58, Kandalanu 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.
XV, 176 11, where Kan-da-la-ni is written. Here
E., Vol. :
it may be 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 Babylon
twenty years, and doubtless was
of for
well known by the name Ashurbdnapal from the day of his birth? True, Tiglath-
pileser III was known as Uapog {Pulu) in Babylon, and Shalmaneser IV as
'I/loDâtos {Ulidai). 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 Ululai were their original names. Pul, as is recognized,
was a usurper. He was first called by the BibUcal writer "Pul, king of Assyria,"
2 Kings 15 : 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 estabfish himself upon the throne
of Assyria; and if so, it is more likely that his plebeian name was Ululai. On the-
' I say this with at least some reserve. The only trace of a root kaddlu seems to be in the plirase a-na ku-ud-dul

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 of the rulers or viceroys of Babylon after the
time of Esarhaddon, they were Shamash-shum-uMn, Kandaldnu 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-uktn,^ the son of his Babylonian wife,^ 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 Accad." However, Ashurbdnapal in all his references to the titles of
Shamash-shum-uktn distinctly says he appointed him to the "kingship of Babylon"
{sharrut Bdbili 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-uktn 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-uktn 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 come from Accad, or the kingdom of Babylon, are the two of Sin-
shar-ishkun from Sippara, mentioned above.
That the cities to the south of Babylon were not assigned to him is further
estabUshed by the fact that a contract dated at Uruk in the twentieth year of
is
Ashurbdnapal, 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-
bdnapal 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 king

since the days of Ur-Engur did so much for Nippur as Ashurbdnapal. The evidence
of his work is everywhere perceptible in the shape of bricks that are well burnt,
containing his name, Ashurbdnapal, 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 Ashurbdnapal,
Ashur-etil-ildni, Sin-shar-ishkun and Sin-shum-lishir. These rulers are not called
kings of Babylon, but kings of the country Assyria. These facts lead us 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 Ashurbdnapal. If it were

true that he had assumed the name Kandaldnu 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 beknown by his real name six years after the death of
Shamash-shum-uktn and his own enthronement in that city.
The viceroy of Babylon following Kandaldnu, by the grace of Assyria, doubtless
under Ashur-etil-ildni, 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 Kandaldnu is correct. That he, under the name Bussalossoros, should
be a general of Saracos (Sin-shar-ishkun), as told by Berosus-Abydenus (cf. Miiller-
Didot, Frag. Hist. Grcec, IV, p. 282), is not difficult to we take into
understand if
account that he was a vassal king. If Shamash-shum-ukin, who ruled before Kan-
daldnu, and Nabopolassar, who ruled after him, were viceroys of Babylon who
owed their titles to Assyria, is it not reasonable to suppose that Kandaldnu, .who
'

ASSYRIAN, NEO-BABYLONIAN AND PERSIAN PERIODS. 11
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 poUcy
inaugurated by Esarhaddon to give the Babylonians an autonomous government
was twenty-one years set aside, and then for no apparent reason was again
for
resumed? That the reign of Kandaldnu 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 whom Shamash-shum-uMn had allied to himself
of the sea-coast
and had made of one mind, became hostile to me by their own decision. By the order
of Ashur and Befit and the great gods, my aids, I 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
Ashurbdnapal ever assumed the title "King of Babylon"; but on the other hand
he distinctly says that he set over Accad governors (SHA-KUR^^) and prefects
(BAD-GID-DA^'} 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 Kandaldnu, perhaps his brother or half-brother,
a son of one of Esarhaddon's foreign wives, if Berosus' statement is correct. While

the inscriptions do not mention Kandaldnu as the son of Esarhaddon, it is quite
natural to suppose that the latter had other sons, legitimate and otherwise, besides
those that are mentioned; for cf. Pinches, Texts in the Babylonian Wedge Writing,
p. 17, li. 12ff., where Ashurbdnapal mentions three of his brothers, Shamash-shum-
ukin, Ashur-muktn-palea and Ashur-etil-shami-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 I can ascertain, is sustained, namely, that
Ashurbdnapal and Kandaldnu are not identical.
Besides the inscriptions referred to, which belong to the reigns of Ashur-etil-
ildni, Sin-shum-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 AWD COMMEKCIAL 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 Hst 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 (cf. Sayce's editorial note in Maspero, Passing
of the Empires, p. 481). we can rely on the account of
This is doubtless correct, if
Abydenus (see below) concerning the fall of Nineveh, when Sin-shar-ishkun (Saracos)
is supposed to have burnt himself aUve. 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.
Zeitschrift filr 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.
Mtiller-Didot, Fragmenta Historicorum Grcecorum, Vol. IV, p. 283f., was the last
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-ildni, 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 filr
Assyriologie, IX, p. 397, and Moldenke, Cuneiform Texts). These dates must be
taken into consideration with the two texts from Sippara of the second year of
Sin-shar-ishkun, mentioned above. If Ashur-etil-ildni 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.^ It is not unlikely that Nabopolassar, who was
viceroy under Ashur-etil-ildm, declared himself free from the Assyrian yoke at the
time of the latter'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 ofthe opinion that those which are dated in Babylon belong to the 6th and 10th
and 14th 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 his 2d, 7th, 9th to the 12th, 16th to the 19th and 21st years. The
tablets pubhshed by Moldenke are dated in 8th, 9th, 12th, 13th, 14t.h, 17th and 19th years, most of wliich seem to have
come from Sippar. Weissbach, Bab. Miscellen., No. X"\', in the 19th year, is from Babylon; Pinches, Peek Collection,
No. 2, in 14th year, is from Babylon; and of the texts here published Nos. 7 and 8 are dated at Babylon and belong
to the 8th year.
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, between his second and seventh years, that Sin-shar-ishkun
is hkely to have been recognized as ruler in that city.
Barzia, or the Persian Gaumdta who impersonated Barzia (i.e., Bardiya, cf.
Namenhuch, p. 63), according to the Behistun inscription (cf. Weiss-

Justi, Iranische
bach and Bang, Die Altpersischen Keilinschriften, p. 15), headed a revolt on the
14th of Viyakhna (Adar).' 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, Bahylonische 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 10th of Bdgayddish (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 Darius, the son of Hystaspes, as ruler.
A number by Strassmaier as well as in the present volume

of the tablets published
are dated 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 Bdgayddish 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.^ 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

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 earhest 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 be determine which of the tablets published in this volume,
difficult to
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 Darius is meant, inasmuch as the archive is
confined to the reigns of Artaxerxes I, Darius II, and Artaxerxes II} I regard Nos.
127 and 128 of the present volume as belonging to Darius II, as some of the names
occur also in the documents of Murashu Sons, dated in the reign of Darius II.
The MurashiL documents, however, do show us, as above, that Darius II began
to reign on or before the fourth of Shelêt 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 stated above, tablets are dated
in the reign of Artaxerxes I even after Darius 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
Darius 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, see Meyer, Forschungen zur alien

announced a decision (in connection with) Nabu-usalli, son of TUR-E-dajan, Nur-
Papsukal and Shamash-ndsir, sons of Sillai, as follows: (Concerning) Li'itu and her
(his) family, people of my house who were at their disposal, Nabu-usalli and Shamash-
ndsir spoke as follows to Bel-uballit: For silver we will release (?). They heard
one another, and Bel-uballit examined 5 minas of silver, the price of Li'itu, Amel-
Nand, Nergal-ndsir, Shugurti, Kashtinnam-tabni, Kudaitu and 2 children of Shugurti,
and gave to NabH-usalli and Shamash-ndsir. Nabu-usalli and Shamash-ndsir, of
their own free will, sealed and gave to Bel-uballit an irrevocable and incontestable
document concerning Li'Uu and her family. In the day there shall be a creditor
or a judgment against TUR-E-dajdn, Nabu-usalli and Shamash-ndsir, on account
of Li'itu and her family, Nabu-usalli and Shamash-ndsir shall honor, and pay to
Bil-uballit. At the sealing of that tablet (were the witnesses whose names follow).

Annotations: L. 23 im-me-riq, as I showed in my Dissertation (1893, unpublished), conies from mardqu,
which means "to satisfy a claim," "pay in full," cf. the passage in B. E., IX, 48 ; 18. Ina umi paqaru ina mufihi z^ru
shu'ati ittabshu ^Ba-ga'miri zcru shu'ntu u-mar-raq-am-ma ana ElUl-shum-iddina inamdln, "If a claim should arise
against that field Baga'miri shall satisfy the claim against (clear the encumbrance of) that field and pay to Ellil-shum-
iddina" (cf. ibid., p. 37 and note, p. 39). This meaning will suit the context in Peiser, B. V., LXXIII, 7, and LVI, 9; cf.
Muss-Arnold, Dictionary, p. 592, "to show, prove a claim.'' In .\.ram. p"lD means "to cleanse, purif}', clear.'' In
legal parlance in Babylonian "to clear of encumbrances." Cf. also the passage B. E., IX, 64 : 8, la iddannv siduppu
mala ina libbi im-me-ri-iq-qu-u appi 30 gur ana i mana kaspu inandin; "has not given, the dates, as many as there are
thereof, shall be paid in full. At the rate of 30 kors for 1 mina of silver he shall pay."

Annotations! L. JO. The root of nAptum and indpi, as has been suggested by others, seems to be 3U or ']yi,
cf. the variant i-nu-ub-bu-' , Dar. 163 : 13. Nixbtum indpi is one of the usual obhgations which are placed upon
the individual who rents a house. It has reference to the care of some part of the house, presumably either the walls
or the roof, three times a year, in Nisan, Tammuz and Kislev. It figures, however, not so frequently in the leases of
the Neo-Babylonian period, as in the Achaemenian. Including the variant phrase rnXbtum inamdin, it occurs: Cxjr.

Nbn. 239 : ISf. perhaps tlirow some light on the meaning of the phrase; it reads: "''^'^'Nisannu "''li'^Duzu u '"'bna.-ilimu
3 '"^^"si-el-lu sha ta-bi-lu i-nam-din-nu. Demuth, B. A., Ill, p. 424, suggests that t&bilu means "Backshish for the
master of the house," cf. also Muss-Arnold, D. A. L., p. 1144. Of., however, Kohler, Z. A., VI, p. 443, who says the
lessee iibernimmt zvu- Reparatur. The passage probably means, "In Msan, Tammuz and Kislev they shall furnish
three baskets of roof mixture." Cf. also Nbn. 500 : 12, which reads: ina shatti 2 GUD . . . sha 1 qa A.AN ta-bi-lu
i-nam-din. Unfortunately in this passage the word that would throw light on the subject is uncertain. The same is
true of Cyr. 23 ; 12, and ybn. 9 : 9. San (a denominative of '^^Q) in -Ajamaic means "to mix." I learn from
Dr. Talcott Williams that in Syria the flat roofs at the present time contain a layer of earth from six to tweh'e inches
in thickness, which is plastered with a layer of mud, mixed with straw, as a protection against rain. Although such
roofs need constant attention to make them impervious, periodically, following the rainy seasons, it is necessary to beat
and trod down and then roll tliis layer of clay, in order to make it compact, which is to insure against destruction of
the roof during the dry season. It is not impossible that the clause nubtum indpi refers to the appU cation of a mixture of
some kind, presumably of clay and oil, or clay and bitumen (the latter being used extensively in connection with boats
and vessels in Babylonia), in order to prevent them from leaking, cracking and being destroyed by the elements and by
usage. From the many limestone roof-rollers foxmd by Place, cf. Nineveh, I, 293, it can be inferred that the Assyrian
houses had flat roofs in ancient times, as at the present are found in Sj-ria and other lands. This explanation may
throw light upon the expression bitu ta-bi-lu in line 1, i.e., it is a house coated with a certain preparation. BUu tdbilu
occurs also Nbk. 441 : 2. That seems more plausible than to translate "Gewiirz," with Delitzsch, Handwijrterhuch, p.
700, and Muss-Arnold, D. A. L., p. 1144.

Annotations : L. 9. The GU-EN-XA seems to be the chief official in connection with the administrative
affairs of the temple, and perhaps, in view of what follows, the chief executive of the city. GU means kishddu, "neck,"
and EN-NA, "lord."' This official may have been originally the "executioner."' Radau translates "sheriff-in-chief,"
wMch appears on a label of a tablet in the University Museum. OV also means emuqu, in which case cf. bi-el e-mu-qi,
Haupt, Akkadische and Sumerische Keilschrifttext, p. 40. GU also has the value asharidu and reshu, and more probably
means the "foremost lord," or "duke." In the annals of Ashiirbanipal, the children of the king, the GU-EK-NA and
other important personages of Gambulu are carried into captivity to Assj-ria (cf. K. B., II, p. 182). This implies that
the GU-EN-NA was an important state official. In Behrens, Assyrische Babylonische Brief Kultischen Inhalts aus der
Sargondenzdt, p. 6, note 2, the one who addresses the king is the GU-EN-NA. In text 94 : 10 of this volume, payment
is to be made according to the measure of theGU-EN-NA to the GU-EN-NA Nippuri. In my B. E., Vol. XIV, an
important official named AmU-Marduk, who is called GU-EN-NA Nippuri, conducted the affairs of the Temple store-
house in the reign of Burna-Buriash and Kuri-Oalzu. In 135 he makes an agreement to assume a debt for which a
priest was imprisoned. In this text he is referred to as "his lord." In 16 : 4 he makes payment to another official.
In 136 : 1 he audits the accounts of the priestesses. In 137 : 28 his seal endorsement is fixed to a loan of cattle, pre-
sumably temple property. It appears also on 123a : 15. In C. B. M. 12929, the GU-EN-NA acknowledges the receipts
of temple income, in a manner similar to Innannu and Mnrluku, who prior to the time of AmU-Marduk were the chief
officials cf . my B. E., XIV, p. 9, although neither of these bear the title GU-EN-NA in any of the documents published.
In fact their names generally are given without titles. It is quite probable that they also occupied this office, namely
GU-EN-NA Nippuri.

Annotations: L. I. ni-din-tum apparently is a "tariff" or rather "gratuity" which is to be given tlie State.
At least that seems to be the meaning in the Murashu texts. The field, doubtless, had been the gift {nidintum) of the
Crown, which expected an annual tithe. This tax in consequence was called the nidintum. C. B. M. 12929 refers to
ni-din-tum ma}),ntum, whereas B. E., Vol. X, No. 78, refers to ni-din-tum arkitum. The endorsement on both these
tablets contains the Aramaic word nj3 for nidintum. Cf. mj^ article on "Aramaic Indorsements on the Documents
