Inscriptions on Tablets, Part 7 (text nos. 219-236)

Eighteen clay tablets unearthed from Nineveh's citadel mound (modern Kuyunjik) contain copies of inscriptions of Ashurbanipal that pertain to his activities in Babylonia, namely Babylon (eight tablets), Cutha (four tablets), Sippar (one tablet), and Uruk (five tablets). The best-known of these texts are the L[ondon]⁴ Inscription (text no. 220) -- which is frequently referred to as Ashurbanipal's "School Days Inscription" -- the "Dedication Inscriptions to Marduk" (text nos. 224 and 225), and the "Nergal-Laṣ Inscriptions" (text nos. 227 and 228).
