In the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society for October, 1887 (p. 655), I gave the text of a tablet of the Babylonian Chronicle referring to the period immediately following 747 B.C. Since then I have copied and studied the rather difficult text of an earlier tablet of the series, of which I now give a rendering, accompanied by the Babylonian text, a transcription, and notes.
page 808 note 1 The name of Kara-indaš (= Kar-indaš) comes in lower down, where, however, the name of Kara-Murdaš (= Kadišman-Muruš) is omitted, making the Assyrian text quite incomprehensible.
page 809 note 1 Elsewhere called, seemingly, Bêl-nirari.
page 816 note 1 Or, “the fortresses.”
page 824 note 1 The Assyrian version, as given in the “Synchronous History,” reads as follows:—“In the time of Aššur-uballit, king of Assyria, Kara-Murdaš (this should be Kadišsman-Muruš, son of Kara-indaš), king of Kar-Duniaš (Babylonia), son of Muballitat-serûa, daughter of Aššur-uballiṭ, soldiers of Kaššê revolted against him and killed him. Nazi-bugaš, a Kassite, son of a nobody, they raised to the dominion over them.” “[Aššur-uballiṭ, king of Assyria, to av]enge [Kara]-indaš (this should be Kadišman-Muruš); [his daughter's] son, went to Kar-Duniaš. He killed [Na]zi - bugaš, king of Kar-Duniaš. Kuri-galzu, a youth, son of Burna-buriaš, he appointed [to] the kingdom; [heseated him] on the throne of [his] father.”
page 826 note 1 The Assyrian version is as follows:—“In the time of Êa-nirari, king of Assyria, Kuri-galzu, a youth, [was king of Babylonia]. Êa-nirari, king of Assyria, fought with him at the city of Sugagi, which is upon the river [Zalzall]at—he accomplished his overthrow, his soldiers [he sle]w, he captured his camp. From the road of šubari [to] Kar-Duniaš the fields they divided equally, they fixed the boundary, the frontier-line they fixed.” “Rammānunirari, king of Assyria, (and) Nazi-Murutaš, king of Kar-Duniaš, fought with each other at Kar-Ištar of Agarsallu. Rammānu-nirari accomplished the defeat of Nazi-Murutaš—he smote his forces (?), his camp and his standards (?) he took. With regard to the boundary, the frontier-line, the line (?) of their boundary from before the land of Pilaskḳ, which was like the windings (?) of the Tigris (at) Arman of Agarsali, they made and fixed as far as Lulumē.”
