Four Mesopotamian chronicles provide useful information both on the events of the reigns of Nabopolassar and Nebuchadnezzar II and on the order of those events. The standard edition of Mesopotamian chronicles is the edition of A.K. Grayson (Grayson, Chronicles), but note also the recent editions by J.-J. Glassner (Glassner, Chronicles and Glassner, Chroniques2) and the ongoing work by I. Finkel and R.J. van der Spek (see https://www.livius.org/sources/about/mesopotamian-chronicles/ [last accessed 14 February, 2024]). For an excellent study dealing with classifications and provenances of Babylonian Chronicles, see Waerzeggers, JNES 71 (2012) pp. 285–298. For the convenience of the users of this volume, it has been thought useful to present translations of the relevant passages here; these translations have been adapted from the aforementioned works.[[133]]
133 The translations of the Chronicle Concerning the Early Years of Nabopolassar, the Fall of Nineveh Chronicle, and the Akītu Chronicle are taken directly from the recently-published Novotny, Jeffers, and Frame, RINAP 5/3.
