"An Old Babylonian Version of the Gilgamesh Epic"


16. Read _e-lu-tim_ instead of _pa-a-ta-tim_. The first sign of
the line, _tu_, is not certain, because apparently written over an
erasure. The second sign may be _a_. Some one has scratched the tablet
at this point.
18. Read _uk-la-at ?li_ (?) instead of _ug-ad-ad-lil_, which gives
no possible sense!

Column 5.

2. Read _[wa]-ar-ki-s?_.
8. Read _i-ta-wa-a_ instead of _i-ta-me-a_. The word _pi-it-tam_
belongs to line 9! The sign _pi_ is unmistakable. This disposes of
note 1 on p. 218.
9. Read Mi = _salmu_, "image." This disposes of Langdon's note 2 on
page 218. Of six notes on this page, four are wrong.
11. The first sign appears to be _si_ and the second _ma_. At the
end we are perhaps to supply _[s?-ki-i pu]-uk-ku-ul_, on the basis
of the Assyrian version, Tablet IV, 2, 45, _s?-ki-i pu-[uk-ku-ul]_.
12. Traces at end of line suggest _i-pa(?)-ka-du_.
13. Read _i-[na m?ti da-an e-mu]-ki i-wa_.
18. Read _ur-s?-nu_ instead of _ip-s?-nu_.
19. Read _i-s?-ru_ instead of _i-tu-ru_.
24. The reading _it-ti_ after _d_Gis is suggested by the traces.
25. Read _in-ni-[ib-bi-it]_ at the end of the line.
28. Read _ip-ta-ra-[as a-la]-ak-tam_ at the end of the line, as in
the Assyrian version, Tablet IV, 2, 37.
