Footnotes

113:1
From the form of the fragment on which this and the following twelve names are preserved, it has been conjectured by George Smith that the first year of the reign of Rimmon-nirari II, the father and predecessor of Tiglath-Uras II, was B.C. 911.
113:2
Or perhaps Abu-A, like the eponym of B.C. 887.
113:3
According to George Smith.
113:4
Or Tiglath-Baru. He is the second king of the name known to us.
113:5
Not Malik. For the god or goddess A, the wife of the Sun-god, see my Hibbert Lectures on The Religion of the Ancient Babylonians, pp 177 sqq.
113:6
The Biblical Elimelech, "El is Moloch."
113:7
"O Assur save me!"
113:8
The reading of the name is doubtful. It is differently written in the Annals of Assur-natsir-pal, ii. 49. Perhaps it should be pronounced Belaku.
114:1
"May the priest of Assur live long!"
114:2
Also given as Samas-yubla.
114:3
Also written Bir-Raman (Bir-Rimmon).
114:4
Or perhaps Ner-Istar.
114:5
"(Born) in the month Elul."
114:6
Shalmaneser was twice eponym.
114:7
"The Sun-god is Rimmon," like the name of Hadad- Rimmon, "Hadad is Rimmon," in Zech. xii. 11.
115:1
The ideograph khal represents asâpu, "to prophesy" or "divine." See the name of the eponym for B.C. 670.
115:2
According to other lists, Nebo-sarra-utsur. The proper eponym of the year may have died during his term of office, and a supplementary eponym appointed in his place.
115:3
Omitted in the Chronicle.
115:4
Shalmaneser III.
115:5
"The Sun-god is El" or "god," like Jiphthah-el in Josh. xix. 14, or the Palestinian town of Ya’aqab-el ("Jacob is El," ? Hebron) and Yesephel ("Joseph is El"), mentioned by the Egyptian king Thothmes III.
115:6
Or more probably Pan-Assur-la’mur, "I see not the face of Assur;" cf. Exodus xxxiii. 20.
116:1
"(He is) my son."
116:2
I.e. Zadkiel, Comp. the Hebrew name Zedekiah.
116:3
Also written Beli-taggil, "he trusts in Bel."
116:4
Also written Qi’su.
116:5
Also written Assur-bela-yukin.
116:6
The line is drawn here by List IV.
116:7
The line is drawn here by Lists II and III. Probably Tiglath-pileser III seized the crown in B.C. 745, but was not universally recognised as king until B.C. 743.
116:8
"O Bel of Harran (Genesis xi. 31) protect the lord."
117:1
The line is drawn here by List III.
117:2
The name of "Sennacherib the king" is inserted here in List II. In List IV the dividing-line is drawn after the name of Yupakhirra-Belu, and is followed by the name of Sennacherib.
117:3
"He who belongs to the god of fertility," who was the god of Andakhu according to W. A. I., v. 16, 38.
117:4
Sin-akhi-erba "the Moon-god has increased the brethren." In List III the name is written by error Assur-akhi-[erba] and a line is drawn both before and after it.
117:5
Nabu-sarra-utsur, "O Nebo protect the king!"
117:6
"The father (Bel) is exalted": the name is identical with the Biblical Abram.
118:1
"Atar is El." Atar or Athar, as Schrader has shown, was the name of the goddess of the North Arabian tribe of Kedar, and enters into that of Atar-samain or "Athar of heaven" mentioned by Assur-bani-pal.
118:2
"Born in the month of Tebet."
118:3
The date is taken from George Smith.
118:4
"The Arbelite."
118:5
List I. ends here. The names which follow are derived from List III.
118:6
Assigned to the year B.C. 656 by George Smith.
118:7
List III ends here. The names which follow are derived by George Smith from various dated documents.
119:1
"Rimmon have mercy on me," Barku or Barqu, "the lightning," the Hebrew Baraq, being a name of Rimmon.
119:2
Daddi, whose name indicates his Syrian origin, was eponym in the reign of Sin-sar-iskun, one of the last kings of Assyria.
