Abstract
The brick fragment illustrated in the accompanying photograph is the property of Mr. J. G. Hobson of Empingham, Leicestershire, U.K., and is published by his kind permission. The fragment measures 15*X11*X9.5 cms., and the stamp on the edge of the brick measures 9.5X6.1 cms. It was found some 25 years ago, about two kilometers north of the ziggurat at Aqar Quf, Dur-Kurigalzu. The inscription partially duplicates Iraq Supp. 1944 fig. 15 DK,-44,' which is listed as Q.5.8 in Brinkman, MSKH 1. The differences in the arrangement of lines 2/3 and 5/6 show that this brick was not made with the same stamp as DK,-44. In the following transliteration restorations are taken from DK,-44. In lines 1-2 the sign bi has two different forms. In line 3, Sakkana is written G'IlR.DINGIR. The apparent repetition of u4-bi-a in lines 1 and 7 is unexpected, but lines 7 and 9 remain unintelligible. The restoration of line 3 on the new fragment shows that the bricks, and the rebuilding of the citywall, are to be attributed to Kurigalzu II.
