Wiesehofer does not know ancient Akkadian and has never been cited for translating ancient Akkadian text.  He is a Professor of Iranian studies mainly Sassanid era.  He is not a professor of semitic studies.  Also Lambert does not use the term ""widely"".  We are arguing about the ""accepted"" part.  Also the agreement was to list the four translations in terms of chronological order.  There seems to be a POV push here where-as I am just trying to list the four translations in terms of chronological order.  ChrisO has no proof that Wiesehofer has given an independent translation.  I know Wiesehofer's academic background well enough and he has articles mainly on Sassanid and Parthian Iran.  He is not a scholar of Akkadian or for that matter has published anything with regards to Akkadian translations.  There seems to be a gross violation of POV.  I am just listing 4 translations which is the NPOV thing to do and the reader can judge.Nepaheshgar "
