3 POEBEL, PBS. V No. 25; translated in the writer's _Le Poeme Sumerien
du Paradis_, 220-257. Note also a similar epical poem to Innini
partial duplicate of POEBEL No. 25 in MYHRMAN'S _Babylonian Hymns
and Prayers_, No. 1. Here also the principal actors are Enki, his
messenger Isimu, and "Holy Innini" as in the better preserved epic.
Both are poems on the exaltation of Innini.

4 Ni. 9205 published by BARTON, _Miscellaneous Babylonian
Inscriptions_, No. 4. This text is restored by a tablet of the late
period published by PINCHES in JRAS. 1919.

5 Ni. 7847, published in this part, No. 3 and partially translated on
pages 260-264.

6 Undoubtedly Ni. 11327, a mythological hymn to Enki in four columns,
belongs to this class. It is published as No. 14 of this part. A
similar _zagsal_ to Enki belongs to the Constantinople collection,
see p. 45 of my _Historical and Religious Texts_.

9 One of the most remarkable tablets in the Museum is Ni. 14005, a
didactic poem in 61 lines on the period of pre-culture and
institution of Paradise by the earth god and the water god in
Dilmun. Published by BARTON, _Miscellaneous Babylonian
Inscriptions_, No. 8. The writer's exegesis of this tablet will be
found in _Le Poeme Sumerien du Paradis_, 135-146. It is not called a
_zag-sal_ probably because the writer considered the tablet too
small to be dignified by that rubric. Similar short mythological
poems which really belong to the _zag-sal_ group are the following:
hymn to Shamash, RADAU, _Miscel._ No. 4; hymn to Ninurta as creator
of canals, RADAU, BE. 29, No. 2, translated in BL., 7-11; hymn to
Nidaba, RADAU, _Miscel._ No. 6.

10 Ni. 112; see pp. 172-178.

11 For example, MYHRMAN, No. 3; RADAU, _Miscel._ No. 13; both canonical
prayer books of the weeping mother class. For a liturgy of the
completed composite type in the Tammuz cult, see RADAU, BE. 30, Nos.
1, 5, 6, 8, 9.
