Heved 20 date back 10 3lO0 y. e.. bear
ing an account Of tho deIuge described
i'm tho Bible and agreeing with the mar
rative i'm Genesis. was reported here to-
night by Professor W. v. Hilprecht at a
gathering Of friends Of the University of
Pennsylvania at the home of Provost
Harrison.
This fragment, which has just been de-
Ciphered. was one of several eXcavated
from the lowest stratum of the oldest
art of the ruins Of the temple library Of

the fourth expedition sent out by the
University of Pennsylvania in 1899. II
is of unbaked clay and measures "a
inches at it's greatest width and 2is
inches at it's greatest length.
As translated by Professor HilpTccht
the narrative contained on the tablet is
as follows:
"U declare untO) thee that the con-
fines of Heaven I will loosen. a deluge I
will make and IL shall sweep away ali
men together; but thou (the B2bylOnian
NCah) seek life before the deluge cOmeth

Tho Semitic dialect in the inscription

tablet heretofore known containing an
account If the flood vas the "T.ayard
deluge tablet in the British Mumeum.
tut the latter dated from only ti5n II. a.
The Layard tablet agreed with the de-
tails Of the Biblical narrative in ONLY a
few particulars. n Was "a pagan story
