1. On this epithet -for Marduk see SAI 3514, and for same epithet of Ea H1W
524; here N a bj.
2. BR. 10252 to be read lahru'I ewe '; Cf. parallel passage IV R 30 no 2
obv. 5. Ba. 10242 and 10256 are the same sign and both = —ganam I ewe'; cf.
Gud. Cyl. B IV 7 (== BR. 10256) with passages cited in REC 457 ( BR. 10242).
REC 457 occurs only in early texts, the Gudca texts having the simpler form
or a phonetic renderinlgga-nam, as in St F IV 1. For the form Ba. 10256
lahru see Sm. 2148 in LOTW, Tiglath-pileser 171 and DELITZSCH, AW 196.
3. silbzi-da, translated by THUREAU-DANGIN SAK 82 IV 2 ' sacred lamb '
The Gudea passage has also zidda with ganam. It is probable that zid-dct after
the words for cow, ewe, goat, lamb etc.. had some signification like ' belonging
to the temple estate '. The parallel passage SBH 131, 56 leaves no doubt but
that the meaning here is'I own'
4. si-im for sig == mahdsu.
5. 'He who h as a wife'1, cf. SB H 53, 6.
6. For the idea, cf. SBH 131, 62 f.
7. For dig, Sum. for mdtu'I die', cf. II R 59 de 31 -ga =-ba miitu. The
latter value is certainly tib, see JENSEN KB VI' 341, hence the word for ' to die'
is dig, tib, of. ZIMMERN, Surpu VII 86. It is possible that the verb is dug, tub.
and the noun dig, tib.
8. This group =-lahed4u as an epithet of Fnlil in IV R old ed. 23 b 112, a word
not registered in H1W.
9. gain may be only a dividing sign to separate the refrain from the line.
ged-de-ba-an, then an imperative with postflxes, cf. Babyl. I 283 and gub-bazu'4 place thou '= var. u-me-ni-gub (optative) IV R 21 b 17-21. For parallel
passage see V R 52 IV 1/2, na-am-mal ni-IR a-ba inu-un-ged-de == UAWit
ublainma mannu unahhanni. Or gain ==: md~tu SAI 5342 = tZ:2Z waver' and
shafel I crush.
