Assyriological Notes

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

The copy of a new trilingual inscription of Darius on page 434 is taken from a photograph of a thin sheet of gold now in the possession of Mr. T. C. Zorab of Hamadan, who has very kindly given me permission to publish it. The tablet measures about 9 inches square, and seems to be of the same type as the foundation inscriptions on metal tablets of Warad Sin of Larsa, of Simat-Inninni, the wife of Rim-Sin, king of Larsa, of Tukulti-Ninurta I, and of Sargon II, though there is nothing in the inscription to prove that the gold tablet was actually a foundation deposit. Restorations of the text have been made from a silver tablet, a photograph of which I have been able to use owing to the kindness of Dr. Campbell Thompson.
