The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria

[104] Hilprecht, ib. no. 87, col i. 30.

[105]Ib. i. 32. Hilprecht reads Nin-a-gid-kha-du, but this can hardly be correct.

[106] The two ideas, 'water' and 'incantation,' are correlated. The 'waters' meant are those used for purification purposes in connection with the magic formulas.

[107] De Sarzec, pl. 32, col. ii. 9-11.

[108]Records of the Past, N.S., i. 59. Amiaud reads the second name Im-ghud-êna and the third Gim (or Ur)-nun-ta-êna. The publication in De Sarzec favors my readings.
