[1364] IVR. 57, 24a. Jensen's suggestion (_Kosmologie_, p. 242) to read Mar-duku is out of the question.
[1365] What Jensen says (_Kosmologie_, p. 10) of the temple at Sippar would apply to the papakhu in the temple, rather than to the whole structure.

[1371] Herodotus, book i. sec. 183, speaks of two altars outside of the temple of Marduk in Babylon. In the case of so important a structure, the number of altars was naturally more numerous.

[1378] See p. 110.
[1379] Nebuchadnezzar, IR. 65, col. i. ll. 34, 35.

[1386] See p. 207.
[1387] The sign for image occurs in connection with some of the G.o.ds.

[1390] Meissner-Rost, _Bauinschriften Sanherib's_, p. 7.

[1392] Including the one to Ramman in a.s.shur.
[1393] IR. 2. nos. 11, 2.
[1394] IIR, 50, obverse 13.
[1395] Lge-e-nir = zikkurat; Kidur = shubtu (dwelling); Makh = rabu (great).
[1396] The name approaches closely to the conception of a zikkurat in the Book of Genesis, as a 'ladder' connecting heaven and earth. Gen.
xxviii. 12.
[1397] See above, p. 619.
[1398] The ideas 'true, fixed, established, eternal' are all expressed by the element _Zida_.

[1403] See above, p. 57.
[1404] Compare the name 'Belit-seri,' 'mistress of the fields,' as the name of a G.o.ddess who belongs to the pantheon of the lower world. See p.
