page 459 note 1 Semiticized Amaruduk, then Maruduk, and ultimately (seemingly) Marduk, unless thia last form be a man's name, abbreviated from Marduka, ‘he of Merodach.’

page 460 note 1 It is noteworthy that both Nimrod and Nisroch have, in Hebrew, the same vowel-points, showing that the forms have been, so to say, ‘doctored.’ Apparently some of the Hebrew scribes had a disinclination to record unchanged the names of heathen gods, and the form Abed-Nego for Abed-Nebo has been attributed, probably rightly, to this.
