page 567 note 1 This book has few footnotes and authorities are rarely quoted. The style is dogmatic and no space is provided for any defence of the views taken on debatable subjects.

page 568 note 1 1 I agree with the author in reading Imdugud instead of the conventional Imgig, p. 196; the name of the Moon-god of Ur was surely never pronounced Enzu, but Zu-en>Sin, p. 215. The rituals of the New Year ceremony, edited by Thureau-Dangin, are assigned to the Hammurabi period, p. 240. The Hurrites or Mitanni people of Subaru are said to be largely Indo-European, p. 243. Their language, closely connected with Elamitic, shows no trace of Indo-Germanic.
