six on the reverse from right to left.
Column twelve is accordingly the re-
verse of column one, and column
eleven is opposed to column two.
This half tablet gives on the diverse
and reverse the beginning and the
end OF the chronological scheme
down to 1000 B. C. but gives no
clew TO the length OF time covered
by the missing portion or how to
connect the fabulous kings who sue
ceeded the flood with those of the
dynasties of Ur and Isin. Its text
extends across columns one, two and
three on the diverse and includes
columns ten. eleven and twelve on
the reverse. Before the gap it fixes
the dynasties of Kish, Uruk, Ur and
AVIAN. After the gap are given the
dynasties Of Akkad. Guti and Isin.
Columns Are Broken OFF.
THE new fragment fits i'm the gap.
1t represents a portion Of the text
Of columns four to five of the diverse
and seven to nine Of the reverse,
with a few signs of columns three
and ten, very useful to link it up with
the text Of the tablet Just described.
Unfortunately it does not belong to
the same identical tablet Their
thickness is different. 1t is still more
damaged. Top and bottom of all the
columns are broken of.
Despite necessary reservations in
presence of a mangled text, the
great interest Of the new fragment
lies in the fact that it restores the
main lines of Babylonian chronology
as set down by tradition among the
scholars of Nippur about B. c. 1000.
The Greek tradition of Abydenus and
Berosus must be traced back to II.
-Four new dynasties of Kish, Hamazi,
Adab and Mari viii take rank soon
after those of Ur and AVIAN and
before those Of Upi, Kish, Akkad,
Gut and Isin. We learn, too, the
names OF the first rulers of the Gut;

The New York herald., 1922-07-09
A Gap of 500 Years.

Not only does the new tablet give
this chronology, but it also gives
the names of four dynasties hereto
fore unknown. the names Of sew
eral kings which are not found else
where in ancient records, and con-
siderable other information Of al
most incalculable value to the ar
chaeologist. incidentally, it appears
to dispose of the mystery Of Azag-
Bau, the woman credited in an earlier
tablet with founding the dynasty Of
Kish In 2S75 and who was said to
have reigned for 100 years. The
present tablet asserts that It was
Basha- Emu, the son Of Azag- -Bau,
who really founded this dynasty, and
makes no mention of her ruling.
Chronology is the framework of
history" says DR.. Legrain In his de-
scription of the new fragment. 1.-THE
names Of the kings and the length OF
their reigns. the relation Of father
and son, the dynasty to which they
