FOOTNOTES:
[16] I may be permitted to refer to a publication by Dr. Brinton and myself, The Cradle of the Semites (Philadelphia, 1889), in which the various views as to this home are set forth.
[17] It has been suggested that since the statues of Telloh are those of the priest-kings, only the priestly classes shaved their hair off.

[19] Also known as Shirpurla which Jensen (Keils Bibl. 3, 1, 5) thinks was the later name.
[20] See Hilprecht, Old Babylonian Inscriptions, i. 16-18. Naram-Sin signifies 'beloved of the god Sin' (the moon-god); Shargani-shar-ali—'the legitimate king, king of the city.' The excavations of the University of Pennsylvania have cast new light upon this most ancient period of Babylonian history. It is now known that the temple of Bel at Nippur antedates the reign of Naram-Sin, and in the further publications of the University, we may look for material which will enable us to pass beyond the period of Sargon.
