120 THE CUNEIFORM INSCRIPTIONS AND TEE 0. T. stay in this region—between Belias and Euphrates.— With this tallies the fact that even in the more ancient Assyrian inscriptions there occur proper names which decidedly wear a Kanaanite an not an Aramaic type. On this see p. 95 footnote *. XIII. 2. 3i7?5'' npl'^ *'^ silver and gold. It is interesting to observe that the Assyrians likewise call silver k a s p u (Nebucadn. East India House Inscr. III. 58. IX. 12 &c.). The three North-Semitic languages Hebrew, Aramaic and Assyrian in this respect present a close unity in contrast to the South-Semitic languages, which use other words to de- signate this metal. Also in the name for "gold" Assyrian coincides at all events with the poetic usage in Hebrew, since the Assyrian word for that metal is hu-ra-su which is evidently = Heb. f^l"!!! (Nebucadn. East India House Inscr. IX. 12). 135 9. '7N'0K'~pp^ on the right hand, on the left. Compare the inscription of Nabtin^'id I Rawl. 69 col.

It has not been possible hitherto to point out this name in the inscriptions or to give any other explanation of it. Respect- ing Shinar see above on XI. 1. It is not inconsistent with the explanation there given that in this passage the king of Ellasar-Larsav (see immediately below) is mentioned along with the king of Shinar, though Larsav-Senkereh itself cer- tainly lay in Shinar. The former was the superior king, the latter was the subordinate king; comp. inscriptions of Kudur-Mabug I Rawl. 2 no. III.

GENESIS XIV. 1 2 1 (G. Smith, "Notes on the Chronology of the reign of Sen- nacherib" Lond. 1871 p. 10). He was the son of Kudur- Mabug; king of Ur and also king of Sumir and Akkad i. e. of the superior monarch to whom he held, as long as he lived; the position of a vassal-king. As the name of his father Kudur-Mabug and of his grandfather Simti-silhak show, he belonged to the Babylonian Elamite dynasty, the same as that to which, as we conclude from the name, Kedorlaomer = Kudur-Lagamar belonged (see below). — "^P?^ Elldsdr, we regard as unquestionably the Babylonian Lars a or Lars a v* in which there was a celebrated temple of the sun, represented at the present day by the ruins of Senkereh , about midway between the Euphrates and the Tigris, between Lat 32° and SI*' (H. Rawlinson, Smith, Lenormant). With respect to the ruins consult chiefly W. K. Loftus, Chald. and Susiana pp. 240 136 foil. The city owed its importance to its being a chief seat of the worship of Samas or the sun-god (comp. the oldest brick-inscriptions of Uruk (?) found there I Rawl. 1. VII; those of Hammurabi(gas) I Rawl. 4, XV. 2; also those of Purnapurjas 4, XIII as well as of Nebucadnezar I Rawl. 51, no. 2; 5 2, no. 5). The temple of the sun at Larsav-Senkereh still existed at the time of Nabtina'id (I Rawl. 68 no. 4). 1P^7~'7? Kedorlaomer , king of Elam. Other examples are preserved in the inscriptions of the names of kings compounded with Kudur. In the first place we have the name of another Elamite king called Kudur-Na-hu-un- di I'-la-mu-u ''Kudurnachundi of Elam" Sanher. Taylor * For the reading see Neb. Gr. II, 42; Sai-g.
