The contents supply the South Babylonian version of the second book of the epic Sa nagba  “He who has seen all things,”commonly referred to as the Epic of Gilgamish, The tablet is said to have been found at Senkere, ancient Larsa near  modern Arabic name for and vulgar descendant of the ancient name Uruk, the Biblical Erech mentioned in Genesis x. IO . This fact makes the new text the more interesting since the legend of Gilgamish is said to have originated at Erech and the heroin fact figures as one of the prehistoric Sumerian rulers of that ancient city. The dynastic list preserved on a Nippur  mentions him as the fifth king of a legendary line of rulers at Erech, who succeeded the dynasty of Kish, a city in North Babylonia near the more famous but more recent city Babylon. The list at Erech contains the names of two well known Sumerian deities,  and Tammuz. The reign of the former is given at 1,200 years and that of Tammuz at  years. Gilgamish ruled  years. We have to do here with a confusion of myth and history in which the real facts are disengaged only by conjecture.  \nThe prehistoric Sumerian dynasties were all transformed  \n published by  in  V, No.   \n The local  of Erech and a bye-form of Enlil, the earth god.

The new tablet, which belongs to the same period, also differs radically from the diction of the  text in the few lines where they duplicate each other. The first line of the new tablet corresponds to Tablet I, Col. V 25 of the Assyrian  where Gilgamish begins to relate his dreams to his mother Ninsun.  \n Tammuz is probably a real personage, although  his original name, is certainly later than the title  probably the oldest epithet of this deity, see  p. 8.  \n I take to have been originally the name of a prehistoric ruler of Erech, identified with the primitive deity Abu.  \n See ibid., page   \n Also  early Babylonian duplicate of Book X has invariably the same writing, see DHORME , Choix de Textes Religieux,   \n Sign whose gunufied form is read aga.  \n The standard text of the Assyrian version is by  PAUL HAU PT,  ische   1884.  \n The name of the mother of Gilgamish has been erroneously read ri-mat or   \n see DHORME  37; 204,  etc. But  that  is an erroneous reading for Nin-sun.  \n n .  and R.A. ,  113  2.
