Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...and in restoring Enlil to his position. For this act he is in time credited with the title: ' The Enlil of Kullab, Lugal Marda," which was adopted as the name of a star.1" Kullab was a part of Erech, and is doubtless where he erected his palace. It was to the "distant mountain Sabu" that Lugal Marda went, in pursuit of Zu. Sabu was in the Lebanon range.2 In other words, the enemy Zu represented an Amorite or West Semitic power, which doubtless had invaded Babylonia.3 There can be little doubt but that the so-called "Legend of the Zu bird" was intended to commemorate the overthrow of this power by Lugal Marda. The writer has no desire to identify Zu with the power whose emblem was the eagle, but this identification is not improbable; in which case we would naturally think of the state represented by that bird in the Etana Legend (see above), and probably also in the fable concerning Gilgamesh (see below). 1 Ungnad makes the date of the beginning of the third known dynasty, that of I "Or, at 3927 B.C. (ZDMG 1917, 166). Meissner put it at about 3900 B.C. (Babylonien und Assyrien p. 23); Weidner 4148 B.C. (MVAG 1921 61); Legrain, 4340 B.C. (Historical Fragments 11). 1Rawlinson, 46, 1:27. Years ago it was conjectured that the name Nimrod was from Nu-Marad, "man of Marad."4 More recently another has suggested that the original form of that name was En-Marad, standing for Lugal-Marad "King of Marad."0 It seems that he may have become En Marad "High-priest of Marad," since we know that Gilgamesh was En Kullab as well as king. We must, however, keep in mind that he was not a native of Babylonia for he was a gurum kurra "offspring of the mountains." If this...
