An apology is due to the reader for the late appearance of this second volume. Various causes have contributed to delay its completion. The character of the work which demanded the utmost care in printing, the immense labour required in re-editing the glossary and in adapting the great number of references therein contained to the English edition *, the appearance of new treatises or articles on Assyriology and lastly the heavy and continuous pressure of my own engagements as a college tutor have all cooperated to defer the fulfilment of my task. It is hoped that the reader will recognize the compensating advantages of com- pleteness and accuracy which have entailed much additional trouble and expense in publication. It will be found that due note has been taken of the important contributions to Assyriology which have appeared during the last three years. Fried. Delitzsch's Assyrische Lesestiicke (3'''^ ed.), Zimmern's Busspsalmen , Jeremias' new edition of Istar's Descent to Hades (in his "Vorstellungen vom Leben nach dem Tode") as well as Prof. Sayce's Hibbert Lectures on Babylonian * We take this opportunity of calling the reader's attention to the notice at the beginning of the Glossary. The numerals refer to the page-numbers of the German edition retained in the margin of the Eng- lish work; when another numeral follows, it refers to the line of in- scription cited. In the Indexes the page-numbers similarly refer to the pagination of the Orerman edition. VI Religion have been frequently cited or referred-to in this second volume of the English work. In the glossary as well as in the 'Additions and Corrections' reference has been made to Dr. Craig's recently edited transcription and translation of the Monolith-Inscription of Salmanassar II (Hebraica, July 1887). I have once more the pleasure of acknowledging the ever ready and helpful kindness of Prof.

  • The First Campaign of Sennacherib, King of Assyria, B.C
    DEDICATED TO MY PARENTS. THE FIRST CAMPAIGN OF SENNACHERIB, KING OF ASSYRIA. (B.C. 703-2.) INTRODUCTION. Cylinder 113203. TnHE text has been copied fromn a hollow barrel cylinder of the usual type, now in thle British Museum. The cylinder is about 9½inches long, the bases being 3- inches in diameter, the diameter of the thickest portion of the barrel about 4½inches, and the perforations of the bases about I inch in diameter. The clay is reddish in colour, and very soft in parts, and owing to this softness the text appears to have suffered damage when the cylinder was discovered. The scribe has not drawn lines across the cylinder, and in conse- quence many of the lines bend considerably. The writing is very neat and clear, and of the same style as other historical inscriptions of the reign. The first 14 lines are written in half lines, that is with a distinct break, as though forming part of a hymn, but from that point to the end the lines are continuous. The first half of thle first 16 lines is badly broken, the fine clay of the surface having been completely removed, perhaps by a blow from a pick. The first 9 lines can be partly restored from Ki. 1902-5-10, 1, a fragment of a barrel cylinder of different shape from No. 113203, which gives beginnings of the first 9 and last 16 lines of a duplicate text. A 2 THE FIRST CAMPAIGN OF SENNACHERIB. Provenance. No information is available as to the site where the cylinder was discovered.

  • The Archaeology of Elam Formation and Transformation of an Ancient Iranian State
    This page intentionally left blank The Archaeology of Elam Formation and Transformation of an Ancient Iranian State From the middle of the third millennium bc until the coming of Cyrus the Great, southwestern Iran was referred to in Mesopotamian sources as the land of Elam. A heterogenous collection of regions, Elam was home to a variety of groups, alternately the object of Mesopotamian aggres- sion, and aggressors themselves; an ethnic group seemingly swallowed up by the vast Achaemenid Persian empire, yet a force strong enough to attack Babylonia in the last centuries bc. The Elamite language is attested as late as the Medieval era, and the name Elam as late as 1300 in the records of the Nestorian church. This book examines the formation and transforma- tion of Elam’s many identities through both archaeological and written evidence, and brings to life one of the most important regions of Western Asia, re-evaluates its significance, and places it in the context of the most recent archaeological and historical scholarship. d. t. potts is Edwin Cuthbert Hall Professor in Middle Eastern Archaeology at the University of Sydney. He is the author of The Arabian Gulf in Antiquity, 2 vols.

  • Assyrian Church of the East - Los Angeles St
    Assyrian Church Of The East - Los Angeles St. Mary's Parish Gift Shop Online SARGON II fragment $41.71 Sargon II ( ܣܪܓܘܢ in Syriac) (r. 722 BC-705 BC) was an Assyrian king. He took the throne from Shalmanassar V in 722 BC. It is not clear if he was the son of Tiglath-Pileser III or a usurper unrelated to the royal family. In his inscriptions, he styles himself as a new man, rarely referring to his predecessors, and he took the name Sharru-kinu, true king, after Sargon of Akkad, a mighty king who had been found in a wicker basket, a child of a temple prostitute and an unknown father. Sargon is the name given by the Bible. Beset by difficulties at the beginning of his rule, Sargon made a pact with the Chaldean Marduk-apla-iddin. He freed all temples, as well as the inhabitants of the towns of Assur and Harran from taxes. While Sargon was thus trying to gain support in Assyria, Marduk-apla-iddin conquered Babylon with the help of the new Elamite king Ummanigash and was crowned king in 721 BC. In 720 BC Sargon moved against Elam, but the Assyrian host was defeated near Der. Later that year, Sargon defeated a Syrian coalition at Qarqar, which gained him control of Arpad, Simirra, and Damascus. Sargon conquered Gaza in Philistia, destroyed Rafah, and won a victory over Egyptian troops. On his way back, he had Samaria rebuilt as the capital of the new province of Samerina and settled it with Arabs.
