[6] Published by Scheil in _Recueil des Travaux_, etc. Vol. 20,
pp. 55-58.
[7] The text does not form part of the Gilgamesh Epic, as the colophon,
differing from the one attached to the Epic, shows.

No. 1).
[9] On these variant forms of the two names see the discussion below,
p. 24.

Cynic_, p. 172 _seq._

of Pennsylvania Museum. The fragment was published by Dr. Poebel in
his _Historical and Grammatical Texts_ No. 23. See also Poebel in the
_Museum Journal_, Vol. IV, p. 47, and an article by Dr. Langdon in the
same Journal, Vol. VII, pp. 178-181, though Langdon fails to credit
Dr. Poebel with the discovery and publication of the important tablet.
[12] No. 55 in Langdon's _Historical and Religious Texts from the
Temple Library of Nippur_ (Munich, 1914).
[13] No. 5 in his _Sumerian Liturgical Texts_. (Philadelphia, 1917)
