CLAY TABLETS.
why Translators Have Found Difficulty In
Understanding the Writing Thereon.

why 1rhu0l1COE8 nave COuuU DlmCulCy In
Understanding the Writing Thereon.
The clay of which the Tell Amarna
tablets are composed differed greatly
in different regions. DR.. Behold says;
''In color the tablets vary from light
to a dark-dust tint, and from flesh.
color to dark-brick-red. The nature OF
the clay of which they are made some
times indicates the countries from
which they come. No. /, q draft of a
letter from Amenophis III. to Kallim.
masin, is made of finely kneaded Nile
mud; others are of the dark-red clay
which is met with in the north OF
Syria; five of Ribadda's letters are
written on the yellow clay which is
common on the Syrian coast. The tab
lets from. Shubandi, Widya and Shuar,
data contain fragments of flint
OF the shape of the tablets he says:
''The greater number are rectangular
and few are oval, and they differ in
shape from any other cuneiform docu-
ments known to us Some are flat on
both sides, some are convex on both
sides and some are pillow-shaped. Com,
pare the name given to such tablets by
the Arabs, mekhadid or pillows -
The tablet having been kneaded into
shape, was inscribed while the clay
was damp, by the use of q wooden
stylus; and the diverse having been
written, the tablet was supported by
some means while the back was in use.
In the case of some cuneiform tablets
holes are found in the corners, which
were made by pins of wood, on which
they rested, SO as to prevent the writ
ten surface from being obliterated
while the reverse was being inscribed;
but these pin-holes do not seem to
occur in the present collection.
Some Of the letters are divided into
paragraphs by ruled lines, which are,
however, not always truly horizontal.
The royal letters, which are the most
carefully written, have well-shaped
symbols in true horizontal lines, but
many of the tablets from Syria seem
to have been hastily written and are
often very crooked. The care, how
ever, that was taken by the scribe is
evidenced by the corrections which he
has introduced of unfinished words, to
which syllable or more is added by
insertions between the lines, while in
other case, words, or even whole
line, have been erased by smoothing
out the writing, other signs having
been substituted, or in some cases the
space has been left blank.
When, therefore, translators. who
have found difficulty in understanding
what was written, have supposed that
the fault lay with the carelessuess of
the original scribe, we can only regard
such supposition as indicating the
self-suf6ciency which is q common
fault among q certain class Of modern
scholars, who are convinced that if
there be any error it cannot be with
them.
