Measurements are given in centimeters, length (height) X width X thickness. Whenever the object varies in 

 size, the largest measurement is given. 



The numbers printed on the left, right and lower margins of Plates 36-42 refer to C B. M. and denote the vase 

 fragments used in restoring the cuneiform texts here published. If more than one fragment is quoted, they are 

 arranged according to their relative importance. On fragments placed in parentheses, as a rule less than one or two 

 complete cuneiform characters are preserved. Fragments originally belonging to the same vase are connected by 

 + or + x + , the former indicating that the breaks of fragments thus joined fit closely together, the latter that an 

 unknown piece is wanting between them.
