circumflex), when not divided by a hyphen. Similarly kakk i
'arms', sabi 'soldiers' &c. — tahazi has the circumflex on
the penult, when undivided.

„ 202 footnote *. I am informed by Dr. Schrader that no determinative
for deity stands before either Ba'li-ra's or Ba-
'-li-sa-bu-na. In other words the Assyrians do not ap-
pear to have regarded the names of these localities as having
any reference to the god Baal. This, ofcourse , does not in
the least affect the question how these Canaauite-Phoenician
names originated. For we find that even in native Babylono-
Assyrian names, e. g. Asur- ah-id din , the determinative
for deity is sometimes omitted by the cuneiform scribe;
while in foreign names (e. g. Hazakijahu, Abiba'al &c.)
the determinative for divinity is nearly always absent.
„ 222 line 3 foil. It is now definitely ascertained that Pulu was
the Babylonian form of the name IlojQioq), and, as we assume,
the Babylonian substitute for the Assyrian name of the king
Tuklat-abal-isarra. The name Pulu has been found in
the recently discovered list of Babylonian kings, which is a
parallel of the Canon of Ptolemaeus (see Theoph. Pinches in
the Proceedings of the Soc. of Bibl. Archaeology, 1884, May
6, pp. 193—204). It is written Pu-lu and follows Ukinzir
or Chinzer. According to the list, Pulu reigned two years
(728 — 27). In the parallel passage of the newly discovered
Babylonian chronicle there is mentioned as Babylonian i"uler
for these two years Tuklat-abal-isarra (Schrader).
„ 224 footnote ***, read: — there stands.
„ 258 line 3 for 'Imperf.' read :— Imperat.
„ 279 footnote **. We here draw attention to the fact that
Dr. Schrader henceforth adoj.ts the infinitive form sakftnu,
with other Assyriologists, as the best mode of indicating the
root.
