Pps SEAL CYLINDERS OF WESTERN ASIA. 
5. The cylinder of Ur-Engur, King of Ur (fig. 30). We note here the seated god 
and the approaching figures, the two styles of headdress, and the unusual ox’s leg 
and high back to the god’s seat. About 2500 B.C. It reads: “[To] Ur-Engur, 
mighty hero, King of Ur, [has] Hashkhamir, governor of Ishkun-Sin, thy servant, 
[devoted] this.’’—Jensen. 
6. A cylinder of Dungi, King of Ur, about 2450 B.C. (fig. 31). It represents 
a standing god before an altar, from which rises a flame, with two figures in the 
attitude of adoration. The inscription reads: “To Meslamtaea, right arm of 
Lagash, for the life of Dungi, the strong hero, king of Ur, Kilulla-guzala, son of 
Urbaga, has made [this seal]. Of this seal, ‘May my king in his benevolent 
purpose live.’ Such is its name.”’—Thureau-Dangin.

7. Another cylinder of Dungi, with the same general design (fig. 32), has 
this inscription: ‘To Nusku, supreme minister of Enlil, his king, for the life of 
Dungi, strong hero, king of Ur, king of Sumer and Akkad, Ur nab . . . , patesi 
of Nippur, son of Lugal-ezen-dug, patesi of Nippur, has vowed [this].”— 
Thureau-Dangin. In both these cylinders it is to be noticed that the second 
figure in the attitude of devotion does not wear a flounced garment, but one of 
simple design.

The inscription reads: “Bur-Sin, mighty King, king of Sumer and Akkad; Amel- 
Enlil, the scribe, son of Shar . . . , his servant.” 
g. A cylinder of Gimil-Sin, King of Ur (fig. 34). The inscription reads: 
“Gimil-Sin, strong king, king of Ur, king of the four regions, Dug . . 
son of Bashagga, thy servant.””—Thureau-Dangin. 
10. Another cylinder of Gimil-Sin (fig. 35), of which Ménant gives a drawing 
from an impression in the British Museum, but of whose ownership he was not 
oy scribe,
