page 622 note 5 JRAS., 1928, p. 321. In this question of Ashurbanipal dating it is interesting to note that the mention of the 8th and 9th year, Essad Nassonhi, Textes divers, No. xiv, must refer to 661–0 and 660–59, during Shamashshum-ukin's reign. This emphasizes the suzerainty exercised by Ashurbanipal in Shamash-shum-ukin's time, see CAH., iii, p. 120; the appointment of Kandalanu was a continuation of the policy initiated by Esarhaddon.

page 624 note 1 This would explain the 21 of Sammugea by an easy scribal error. But if Ashurbanipal died at latest in his forty-first year, as ia argued below, the figurea are worthless.

page 624 note 2 Landsberger and Bauer in ZA. (NF.), iii, p. 89, translating la mēsu “unheilige Handlungen”, rely apparently on parṣu = mesu; but that equivalence may be an argument for parṣu = “temple”. That mesu in the present passage means “temple”, “shrine”, or something concrete is certain.
