Restorations of Assyrian Rituals
The text published by Lutz in PBS . i, 2, No. 129, is partially restored by K. 9830 + 11768, published in Gray, The Šamaš Religious Texts , pl. iii. This latter tablet is of great interest as belonging to the series bît rimki (House of Washing). The object of the prayer is to free the suppliant from witchcraft (cf. II. 8 ff.), and the principal act of the ceremony appears to be washing with water (cf. II. 5, 17, and 19) of purification. The praye…
Restoration of a Hymn to Shamash
The well-known hymn to Shamash, edited by Gray, The Šamaš Religious Texts , pp. 9–23 (and more recently by Schollmeyer, Hymnen und Gebete an Šamaš , pp. 80 ff. and Jensen, KB. , vi 2 , 96 ff.), can be partly restored, as Professor Langdon informs me, from Ebeling, KAR . 321 (edited by Ebeling, Berliner Beiträge , ii, 1, 8 ff.), where part of the hymn has been inserted into the so-called Girra(or Irra)-Myth. KAR . 321, obv. 12–17 = col. iii, 31–42…
The Return of Marduk to Babylon with Shamashshumukin
Professor Langdon has pointed out to me that the Assyrian text published in Ebeling, KAR. , No. 360, bears a close resemblance, alike in diction and in subject-matter, to Lehmann, Šamaššumukin , Taff. xxxvii f., edited in Streck, Assurbanipal , ii, 264–8, and it is almost certain that we have here two different but relạted accounts of the return of the god Marduk to Babylon with Shamashshumukin, in 668 B.C. In the following interpretation of KAR …
Fragments of Two Assyrian Prayers
Professor Langdon informs me that the prayer (K. 2407) which he edited in ZA . 36, 209 ff., is continued and completed by IV R. 21 c , col. ii, of which the first twelve lines are a duplicate of K. 2407, rev. 2–13. The context of the prayer is, accordingly, a long ritual used in connection with the building of a house. For a full discussion of the magic images mentioned in this ritual see Woolley, “Babylonian Prophylactic Figures,” in JRAS . 1926…
Fragment of an Expiation-Ritual against Sickness
The text here published occupies part of the Reverse of British Museum tablet Rm. 2,160 and includes part of two prayers, with the accompanying ritual. The first prayer is addressed to some goddess, the second is to the stone ŝadanu . Of the Obverse, only a few signs remain. My thanks are due to the Trustees of the British Museum for their kind permission to publish this text, and I have to acknowledge gratefully the help accorded to me by Profes…
A Prayer to Ea, Shamash, and Marduk
The fragment K. 2784, published by Langdon in his OECT . vi, pi. xxii, belongs to the same tablet as K. 7593, which was edited by King, Babylonian Magic and Sorcery , No. 62. We now have, therefore, an almost complete text of the earlier part of a hymn to Ea, Shamash, and Marduk. I have to thank Dr. H. R. Hall and Mr. C. J. Gadd, of the British Museum, for permission to collate the reunited tablet, and Professor Langdon for his kindness in helpin…
Four Hymns to Gula
Hymns to Gula are few and scattered. In the present article some of these are brought together. They are treated in the following order:— ( a ) King, Bab. Magic and Sorcery , No. 6, 11. 71–95, with the variants there cited and a new variant in Ebeling, KAR . 341. A šu-il-la prayer. ( b ) King, ibid., No. 4, 11. 24 ff. A šu-il-la prayer. ( c ) Craig, Religious Texts , i, 18 (ed. Martin, Textes Religieux , p. 70), with a variant in KAR . 41. Probab…
