The Assyrian and Hebrew Hymns of Praise

by Charles Gordon Cumming

Hymns to Nebo

1. Published and translated by King, Babylonian Magic, No. 22; also translated by Jastrow, I, 445. It contains eight lines of invocation, followed by the petition at much greater length of an individual, requesting healing of his disease, favorable dreams, and the support of his god.

2. R. IV: 2, 20 No. 3; translated by Jastrow, I, 447. It is a fragment, giving ten lines of a hymn in couplets, of which the second line largely repeats the preceding line.
