Nissen for the early Uruk tradition and R. D. Biggs for the Early Dynastic version. 25. See MSL XII 4. 26. For the Jamdat Nasr tablet, see S. Langdon, "New Texts from Jemdet Nasr," Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1931, pp. 842-43; the Fara duplicate is SF 64. 27. In MSL XII 16-21, as Early Dynastic List E. 28. Fara II 2*-7*. 29. Deimel assumed that the sign SANGA should be read sanga and understood as the sanga-priest. Now it is generally recognized that the sanga was principally a temple administrator, though in some cases he may have had cultic duties; see J.
A ligature which occurs several times in Abfi Salabikh texts is SES+IB, also common earlier; see UET II, Nos. 61:1, 65, and passim. See IAS 392 for an example where the wedges at the beginning of the DA sign serve also as the final wedges of MU. There are a number of others, and since they are not to be considered errors, they are not marked with sic in the copies. 11. See JCS XX 76, n. 22.
