The 1937 lot falls into two classes, here called A and B, the 1938 lot into three, here called B, C, and D.

page 46 note 2 As M. Parrot says of this dating, proposed by Professor Albright, in Syria, xix, 184. M. Parrot's argument in any case, as he says that the close relation of First Dynasty monuments with those of the Third Dynasty of Ur precludes the lower dating, will not hold. The dates of the earlier dynasties must automatically be reduced by as much as the reduction in the dates of the First Dynasty.
