Art. III.–On some Cuneiform Inscriptions of Sennacherib and Aššurnaṣirpal
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Extract
The following inscription, or rather group of three independent inscriptions, is on a tablet of clay numbered K 1280 in the Kouyunjik Collection of the British Museum. The tablet measures by 2⅜ in. (Bezold, Catalogue, p. 257). The obverse contains an inscription of nine lines complete in itself, the reverse two inscriptions of three and six lines respectively, which are separated by a line of division, and a single group of three characters appears on the edge. The texts are clearly written in characters which for the most part present the Assyrian form, though some, as, for instance, zu in the first and riš in the third line of the third inscription, are purely Babylonian.
