of Babylonia.]

[Footnote 7: "Tur-tan-u" was the army officer or general who in the
absence of the sovereign took the supreme command of the army, and held
the highest rank next to the queen or king.]

[Footnote 8: "Dannat" (the "Powerful Lady") was a title applied to the
Queen, the mother of Izdubar (Sayce's ed. Smith's "Chal. Acc. of Gen.," p.
184). We have here identified her with Ellat-gula, the Queen of Babylon,
who preceded Ham-murabi or Nammurabi, whom the inscriptions indicate was
an Accadian. The latter we have identified with Nimrod, following the
suggestion of Mr. George Smith.]

[Footnote 9: "Khumbaba" was the giant Elamitic king whom Izdubar
overthrew. We identify him with the King of the Elamites who, allied with
Rimsin or Rimagu, was overthrown by Nammurabi or Izdubar.]

[Footnote 10: "Rim-siu," above referred to, who overthrew Uruk, or Karrak,
or Erech. He was King of Larsa, immediately south of Erech.]

[Footnote 11: "Nap-pa-khu," war-trumpet.]

[Footnote 12: "Bar-ru," army officer.]

[Footnote 13: "Samas," the sun-god.]

[Footnote 14: "Subartu" is derived from the Accadian "subar" ("high"),
applied by the Accadians to the highlands of Aram or Syria. It is probable
that all these countries, viz., Subartu, Goim, Lullubu, Kharsak-kalama,
Eridu, and Duran, were at one time inhabited by the Accadians, until
driven out by the Semites.]

[Footnote 15: "Sutu" is supposed to refer to the Arabians.]

[Footnote 16: "Kassi," the Kassites or Elamites. The Kassi inhabited the
northern part of Elam.]

[Footnote 17: "Goim," or "Gutium," supposed by Sir Henry Rawlinson to be
the Goyim of Gen. xiv, ruled by Tidal or Turgal ("the Great Son").]

[Footnote 18: "Lul-lu-bu," a country northward of Mesopotamia and Nizir.]

[Footnote 19: "Kharsak-kala-ma," the city supposed to lie at the base of
Kharsak-kurra, or Mount Nizir, or Mount Elwend. The same city was
afterward called Echatana.]

[Footnote 20: "Eridu," the land of Ur, or Erech.]

[Footnote 21: "Duran," Babylonia.]

[Footnote 22: "Masari," guards of the palace, etc.]

[Footnote 23: See Sayce's translation in the "Chal. Acc. of Gen.," by
Smith, p. 193.]

kings, or fire-king.]
