[Footnote 7:  Lower Chaldea.  Nearly all the names of the Elamite towns are Semitic (see Gen. x. 22), but the Susian ones are not.]

[Footnote 8:  Tiglatpileser, whom Sargon would not acknowledge.]

[Footnote 9:  This is the word “siltan,” the Hebrew “shilton” ("power"), the Arabic “sultan.”]

[Footnote 10:  Raphia, near the frontier of Egypt.]

[Footnote 11:  Khilakku.  It seems to be identical with the “Sparda” of Persian, the “Sepharad” of Obadiah.]

[Footnote 12:  The condition of Jaubid before his accession.]

[Footnote 13:  Or Minni.]

[Footnote 14:  It seems not to be Paphos.]

[Footnote 15:  Parthia(?).]

[Footnote 16:  The same name as Belshazzar.]

[Footnote 17:  This Agag is very possibly the country of Haman the Agagite, if we must not read Agaz.]

[Footnote 18:  Ambanda is perhaps the Median “Kampanda.”]

[Footnote 19:  We find in the inscriptions of Van, the god Haldi as god of the Armenians, which proves more forcibly than ever that the syllabary of the Armenian inscriptions is the same as the Assyrian syllabary.]

[Footnote 20:  See Isaiah xx. 1.]

[Footnote 21:  Meluhhi is not Meroe, but Libya, and especially the Marmarica.  The name seems to be the “Milyes” of Herodotus.]

[Footnote 22:  “Asdudim” seems to be a Hebraic plural.]

[Footnote 23:  Meluhhi.  This is the only passage where small gaps occur.]

[Footnote 24:  This is one of the most important passages of the text; the period is the Chaldean eclipse period of 1,805 years, and ended in 712 B.C.  Instead of this passage, the stele of Larnaca, now in Berlin, has, “from the remotest times, the beginning of Assyria, until now.”  The commencement of the period, 2517 B.C., coincided very nearly with the capture of Babylon by the Medes.  This date commences the real history; previous to this time reigned the 86 princes during twelve lunar periods of 1,805, and twelve solar periods of 1,460 years, viz., 39,180 years.  The very event may have happened eleven years afterward, 2506 B.C.  The Deluge happened, according to the Chaldeans, in 41697 B.C.]

[Footnote 25:  This royal name is still found in the Armenian texts of Van.]

[Footnote 26:  The inscriptions of this prince are translated in the seventh volume.]

[Footnote 27:  Elam.  We are now certain of this identification.]

[Footnote 28:  The same who occurs in the Ptolemaic canon (721-709).]

[Footnote 29:  From 721 to 709 B.C.]

[Footnote 30:  32 m. 91 cm., 39 yds.]

[Footnote 31:  54 m. 85 cm., 65 yds.]

[Footnote 32:  4 m. 94 cm., 17-1/2 ft.]

[Footnote 33:  Unexplained.]

[Footnote 34:  “Timin,” not “cylinder.”]

[Footnote 35:  Only two years after the commencement of the war.]
