(1) Gap of seven, or possibly eight, names.

(2) The name Etana is written in the lists with and without
the determinative for "god".

(3) The reading of the last sign in the name is unknown. A
variant form of the name possibly begins with Bali.

(4) This form is given on a fragment of a late Assyrian copy
of the list; cf. _Studies in Eastern History_, Vol. III, p.
143.

(5) Gap of four, or possibly three, names.

(6) Eanna was the great temple of Erech. In the Second
Column of the list "the kingdom" is recorded to have passed
from Kish to Eanna, but the latter name does not occur in
the summary.

(7) The name Lugalbanda is written in the lists with and
without the determinative for "god".

(8) The name Dumuzi is written in the list with the
determinative for "god".

(9) The name Gishbilgames is written in the list with the
determinative for "god".

(10) Gap of about four, five, or six kings.

(11) Wanting.

At this point a great gap occurs in our principal list. The names of
some of the missing "kingdoms" may be inferred from the summaries, but
their relative order is uncertain. Of two of them we know the duration,
a second Kingdom of Ur containing four kings and lasting for a hundred
and eight years, and another kingdom, the name of which is not
preserved, consisting of only one king who ruled for seven years. The
dynastic succession only again becomes assured with the opening of the
Dynastic chronicle published by Pere Scheil and recently acquired by the
British Museum. It will be noted that with the Kingdom of Ur the
separate reigns last for decades and not hundreds of years each, so that
we here seem to approach genuine tradition, though the Kingdom of Awan
makes a partial reversion to myth
