Chapter XI: Notes

[192.1] _Vide_ Langdon, _Transactions of Congress of Rel._, 1908, i. p. 254.

[192.2] Zimmern, _Babylon. Hymn. u. Gebete_, p. 27.

[192.3] Langdon, _Sumerian and Babylonian Psalms_, p. 269.

[192.4] _Keilinschr. Bibl._ (Schrader), vol. ii. pt. ii. p. 69.

[192.5] iv. R. 3, 5; quoted by Jeremias in _Bab. Assyr. Vorstell. vom Leben nach dem Tode_.

[192.6] _Keilinschr. Bibl._, iii. 2, p. 11.

[193.1] In Aesch. _Agam._, l. 70, the words οὔτε δακρύων are spurious, as I have argued in _Class. Review_, 1897, p. 293.

[193.2] We might perhaps infer their recognition from the occasional use of the word δεισιδαίμων in a partly good sense, _e.g._ Aristot. _Pol._, 5, 11, 25; Xen. _Ages._, 11, 8; but its bad sense is more emphasised by Theophrastos in his “Characters.”

[193.3] Nebukadnezar (of all people) calls himself more than once “the humble, the submissive,” _e.g._ _Keilinschr. Bibl._, iii. p. 63.

[193.4] We find the phrase δοῦλος ὑμέτερος also in the Greek magic papyri, but these are charged with the Oriental spirit; Kenyon, _Greek Pap._, i. p. 108, ll. 745-6.

[194.1] _C. I. Sem._, 1, No. 122.

[194.2] These facts are collected and exposed in a valuable article by Perdrizet in _Archiv. für Relig. Wissensch._, 1911, pp. 54-129; cf. _Revue des Études anciennes_, 1910, pp. 236-237; _Hell. Journ._, 1888, pl. vi.

[195.1] _Vide_ O. Weber, _Arabien vor dem Islam_, p. 21.

[196.1] Dittenberg, _Orient. Graec. Inscr._, 619 (= Lebas-Waddington, _Inscr._, iii. 2393); the reading here is Θεὸν Αὐμόν, probably a mistake for Αὐμοῦ; cf. Lebas-Wadd., 2395 and 2455.

[196.2] _Vide_ Roscher’s _Lexikon_, ii. p. 2752.

[196.3] _Vide ib._, iii. p. 1496.

[196.4] _Cults_, vol. i., “Athena,” R. 96_b_ (Paus., 1, 42, 4); as regards “Apollo Sarpedonios” we are uncertain whether the title was not merely local-geographical.

[197.1] Langdon, _op. cit._, pp. 309, 321; cf. the lines in the hymn, p. 335: “I am the child who upon the flood was cast out--Damu, who on the flood was cast out, the anointed one who on the flood was cast out.”

[201.3] _Ib._, p. 205.

[202.1] We note the indication of a cruel human sacrifice--consecration of a child to a god or goddess by fire--as a legal punishment for reopening adjudicated causes (Johns, _Babylonian and Assyrian Laws_, etc., p. 95).
