These have come chiefly from along the Shntt ril-Xi1 at t.he north\vestern corrier of the triangular mound, south of the Temple, known as IIill V, or :LS "Tablet Hill."' Toward t,he close of this campaign some tablets mere found in Hill IV. During the second campaign "Tal~letHill" was skirted on 311 sides with trenches, when adtiitional t:tl~letsof this period were found. Also some inscriptions were discorercd in the extreme southern pmt of the mounds on thc west side of the Shatt en-Yil, known as Hill I;. During his operations on the third expedition, Doctor Hzrynes found addit,ional tablet,s of t,his period. His reports shorn t,l~:rthe excal-at,cd in nearly all the mounds, but the records do not, give the provel~ienceof the tnl~lcts. Besides t,he documents from Sippur which are colitairied in this volume, about fifty others l~elongingto the s:tn~e period have thus far been classified, l~utn~llich are fragmentary, effaceti, or of c:omparatively little value.

Eusebius reports in his Chro7ticort~mCn7zoii.~~?n ( I.ehmann, Xhnma,shslt,umuk?~a,I, p. 2, quoting from Schoerie, lib., I, pp. 27, 33 sq.) : "Etenim sub Exelcia reynavit Sz'r~achcrim, tit Polyhistor ezl~onitcrr~~~is XV'III et post eltm eiusc/em filius annis VlII.

The supposition that Ashurb~napul,in order to palliate the feelings of the Babylonians, assumed the name I ' FIu~l~mei.in his mticle ''Asiyria'' in Hilitillgs' Bible Dirtio,ulry, I, p. 189E., say it cannot be definitely deter- niincd ivllcthcr Ku~idulil~zuis dshi~rhdnapalor a. rival king. 8 I,CGAI, AND COBIXERCIAL TIIAKSZ~CTIONS the government offers difficulties. In the first place it seems reasonable to suppose that such an art would be highly obnoxious to the people of Bsl)ylon, who for decades had been striving for an autonomolls government, and especially after their leaders and warriors, who had fought for independence, had met such cruel deaths as a punishment at the hands of t,he Assyrian king on the termination of the insurrection. After relating in his annals his fearful at'rocities, he says: "I restored and re- established, as it was in former days, their cult,, which had been diminishcd. I showed mercy to the remaining inhabitants of Babylon, Cuth:~:~nd sip par:^, who had escaped sl:~ughter,massacre :1nd famine; and I ortlered that they sho~ildbe allowed to live, and permitted them to dwell in Ra!,ylonU (X.B., IT, pp. 192, 193). To have taken from them at that time t,heir self-go\-crnment surely would not have plaratcd them, hut ~~ouldhare increased tenfold their hatred for ,lssyria. The ahserice of any reference in his annals or in any other inscription to his taking unto himself the title "King of Babylon," whether u~idcrone name or another, is snrely significant. rlnd why should he assume the name I '1 s:iy this aitll st lcast some reserve. The only trace of a root kird~ilr~seems to 1,r in the pl~rnsra-nn ku-ud-dul be-lz~-ti-skz~-li2i,I<. B., 111, pt. 2, p. 6, 2 : 15, mliich I\-inclrler translates "U~ILihve Ilewscbn)l zit eitre,i(?)." other hand, it is scarcely possible that anyone ~vouldsuggest that Kandalllnz~was the original name of AshurbBnapal. A more plausible conclusion, it seems to me, in the light of ltnown facts and those which th~sctexts offer, is that Iianrlal&nu, who may have been a brother, is not to be identified with Asl~urb&nnpal;and that in accordance with the Canon of Ptolemy, which gives the names of tht. rulers or viceroys of Babylon after the time of Esarhaddon, they mere Shamash-shum-ukin, Iianilalllnri and Nabopolassar. Esarhaddon Ashurbanllpal Xhamash-shum-uktn Iia?zdalAnu Ashur-etzl-zlllnz Nabopolassar Szn-shunt-lishzr Sz~t-shar-zshlcun Fall of Nineveh. We know that Esarhaddon great'ly sympathized with the people of Babylon, who were desirous of self-government, and that he assigned that principality to his oldest son, Shamash-shum-rti;i;n,' the son of his Babylonian wife,2 as viceroy, with the understanding that he was to pay I-iomage to his brother, Ashtcrbinapccl, as suzerain. The title, "King of Babylon," included jurisdiction over the cities Borsippa, Cutha and Sippara; in other words, it was synonymous wit'h the title "King of Accad." Ilowever, Ashurbllnapal in all his references to the titles of Shamash-shum-uktn distinctly says he appointed him to the "kingship of Babylon" (sharrdt BAbili or sharrat Rarduniash). It is interesting to not'e in this conrlection that whereas Ashurbllnapal always designates him "King" or "Viceroy of Babylon," or "l Cf. $Icissncr, ifilleilungen der l7o~derasintisc1~mCesellscl~n/l, 1901, 3; also Jollnson, Jorirnal .,leiel-icon Orietilui Society, Vul. XSV, p. 80, wllo reached the same conclusions shout the same time. ' CI.

That the cities to the south of Babylon were not assigned to him is further established by the fact that a contract is datetl at Uruk iri the twentict'h year of AshurbBnnpnl, cf. S. A. Smith, ,Uiscel. Texts, No. SSYVIII, and, as is stated al~ove, also one in the reign of S~IL-shar-ishlzun. Nippur was also retairicd under the direct control of Assyria. In this connection me recilll the builtling operations of Ashz~r- bdnctpal at Sippur,' where he restored and enlarged the ancicnt sanctuary of Ellil, embellisllirig it in a manner scarcely known in its long Ilistory. No other king since t,hc days of Ur-E~~gurdid so much for Nippur as ilshurbknapal. The evidence of his work is everywhere perceptible in the shape of bricks that are well burnt, containing his name, AshurbBnnpul, with his titles, in which he calls himself "king of the four clu:~l.tersof the earth." This seems clear also from f,hc fact t,liat t:~t~let,s have I~cenfount1 1~11ic:h 11:rtl i)c>endatetl in tl1:rt cit,y in tlie reigns of Aslzurbhuy~ctl, Aslrur-etil-ilAni, Sin-skar-islzlcut~ and S~TL-shum-ltshir.'l'llese rulers are not called kings of Baijylon, 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 hecame the supreme potentate of the land. The significant fact in this connection is t,hat tablet No. 1 of this volume is dated at Nippur in tlie twenty-sixth year of the reign of dshurbhnapal. If it were true that he had assumed the name Iiantlnl&~auin Babylon, and in every instance, as far as we know up t'o the present, the ruler \~-nsltno~vn by this name in that neigh- borhooti, it seems unressonable to suppose that at Sippur, not more than fifty miles distant, he should be known by his real name six years after the death of Shamask-sln~m-ukinand his own enthronement in that city. The viceroy of Babylon follo~vingKai~ilalRnu, by t,he grace of Assyria, doubtless nndcr Asl~ur-etil-ilani,was Nabopolussar. Contracts datetl in the reign from the second t,o the twenty-first year shoxv that the Ptolenlaic (?anon in making him the successor of KanilalBnu is correct. That he, under the name Bussalossoros, should be a general of Saracos (Sin-shar-ishlzun),as told by Berosus-Ahydenus (cf. AIiiller- Didot, Prag. Ifist. Gmc., IV, p. 282), is not diffioult to untierstarid if we take into account that he was a vassal king. If Shamush-shum-~~lcin,who ruled before Kan- daldnu, and Nubopolassar, who ruled after him, were viceroys of Babylon who owed their titles to Assyria, is it not rcasonal~leto suppose t,hnt Kandal&nls, who ' It is rvdl known tlmt Ire paid conddor:iblc attention also io tllc resturntiou ui Esagila in Uiibylun. SIN-1L01.A I I'lii PERIODS. 11 reigned between them, should also h:~~-ebeeli a viceroy, i11ste:id of regartling him as the Assyrian king himself? And is it not 1lnreasor1:il)le to suppose that the policy inaugurated by Escirhaddo~~to give the Babylonians an autonomous government was for .twenty-one years set aside, :rnd then for no nppirrent rensori was again resuirled'! That the reign of Ka~zclalOnuand Ash~~rbririaplshould (tome to a close about the sarrie t,ime is significant, hut th:rt may be duo to thc fact t11:lt the term of office expired with t)he closc of t,l~ereign, or it is the possible iinie of his death.
