EVIDENCES 01-^ THE MIGRATION OF ABIIAM. l3o 



Line 28. — Lalie or Lale, a derivation from the Akkadian lal, " full," the 

 equivalent of the Assyrian malu. Erihi-lca, " The entrance," from 

 erihu, "to descend, to enter." 



Line 29. — Sap'tuh-ka, the text reads Saptas. This must be an error, as 

 the signs are almost similar of uk and az. Saptu, " lip." 



Line 33. — Iiia nis ini sii, "In the lifting up of his holy eyes." Compare 

 the priestly blessing (Num. v. 26), '• The Lord lift up his countenance upon 

 tliee, and give thee peace."' 



Line 34. — Nipkhi n riha, " Dawn and twilight." In Col. III., 41, of this 

 inscription we have the phrase Arkhi savia ina zit Sarnsi u erih Samxi, 

 " Each month, from rising to setting Sun," which seems to justify this 

 reading. 



Line 37. — Zamani, " evil opponents." Compare Heb. n?3T, " wickedness." 



lAne 39. — Narami, " beloved." Naram is a synonym of Dudu, Heb. T.l^. 



Line 42. — Pie, " -words," Hebrew H?, " month." Often used in this sense, 

 as Ki pii duppi, "according to the words of the tablet."
