them all “priests.” But he does not show that either was a _šangû_.

others in our museums, several of which have been published
(_Receuil de Travaux_, xvii., pp. 33 ff.; _Saison de fouilles a
Sippar_, pp. 125, 126, 128). The plans of the buildings excavated at
Khorsabad form our most perfect specimen of an Assyrian city and
palace. Besides the original sketches and plans in Botta’s _Nineve_,
excellent studies of them will be found in Perrot and Chipiez,
_Assyrian and Babylonian Art_. There are also many plans of the
early cities and palaces in De Sarzec’s _Découvertes en Chaldée_;
also, _Receuil de Travaux_ and _Revue d’Assyriologie_ _passim_.

M579 Description of houses in the contracts of sale

603 Good examples of deeds of sale of this class of real property will
be found in Dr. Meissner’s A. P., pp. 31-35. The principal terms
used in such conveyances are well discussed and for the most part
correctly explained in his commentary (pp. 119-23). In all these
cases we have the phrase, _bîtu epšu_. Dr. Meissner also regards as
“houses” the plots of land called _Ê KI-GAL_ and _Ê KISLAH_; they
are, however, mentioned later with some other plots of land where
_Ê_ denotes a “plot,” not necessarily a “house.”

635 A plot of land or house called _Ê burbalum_ is sold (B1 280, B2 838,
B2 2462), but there is no information given as to its special
nature; so also a _bît kidim_ (B2 2444a), but there is no means of
deciding what it was. A term applied to land which may be read
_ḳirubû_ is perhaps to be taken as “arable land” (_M. A. P., p.
122_). But the occurrences are not sufficient to fix the meaning
clearly. It was bounded by a house and the street.

645 Much earlier plans will be found, pp. 21 ff. They are ascribed to
the age of Sargon I. and Naram-Sin. A plan, or rather map, of
Babylon was also published by Dr. Peiser. [_Z. A._, iv., 361 ff.]
This is rather geographical than cadastral, and, perhaps, mythical,
since it refers to the king Shamash-napishtim-uṣur, who may be the
Shamash-napishtim of the flood story.

A number of other plans are given, or referred to, by Father Scheil
in _Rec. des Trav._, xvii., 1 and 2, pp. 33 ff. A good many more
appear in _Une Saison de fouilles a Sippar_. There are many others
in the great museums and in private hands. For conclusions regarding
linear and square measures, cf. Appendix III.

color, but nothing further. It is curious that in many cases these
names are the same for Assyrian and later Babylonian times.
