Abstract
In the March issue of the Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archæology, 1911, I published a paper entitled “Enlil and Ninlil, the Older Bel and Beltis”, one of a series of papers dealing with the gods of Babylonia from unnoticed or unusual points of view. In this contribution to the subject of Babylonian mythology appears, among other things, a transcription and translation of a British Museum tablet dealing with these deities as the “youthful hero and handmaid” of the Babylonian city of Niffur (Niffer, also, it is said, pronounced Noufar), identified by the Hebrews of Rabbinical times with the Calneh of the 10th chapter of Genesis.
