Source notes
[1092] See above, p. 63.
[1093] My rendering is given in continuous lines. The legend is in narrative, not in poetic form.
[1094] Adapa.

[1103] To Ea.
[1104] Anu, it will be recalled, utters the same cry. See p. 546.

[1108]Schöpfung und Chaos, pp. 168 seq.
[1109] Adapa.
[1110] The phrase 'knowledge of good and evil' (Gen. ii. 17) is simply an expression equivalent to our 'everything,' or to the Babylonian 'secrets of heaven and earth.'
[1111] See pp. 476 seq. Sayce has even gone so far as to suggest an identification of Adapa (by reading Adawa) with the Biblical Adam, but this conjecture is untenable.
