226 TEE CUNEIFORM INSCRIPTIONS AND THE 0. T. took place in 731, and we have also detailed information about it in the triumphal inscription belonging to the last year of Tiglath-Pileser's reign II Rawl. 67 (together with the Parallel). We there read: 23.

Keil. p. 155 no. 61.* I have established the correctness of the »eading on the original during my repeated visits to London (in the lithograph II Eawl. 67 in place of the sign DU there stands by an error the sign GAB, which closely resembles it but makes no sense.) The duplicate of this inscription, which has since been discovered and has been published by me in the Abhandlungen der Berl. Akad. 1877 (78) no. VII, clearly exhibits this sign, which is even recognizable by the ordinary reader. For further particulars see ibid. p. 16 (in the note). —I'sir 1 pers. Impf.
