En-an-e-du

Abstract

Inscribed in two columns upon the base of a clay cone found at Ur and recently presented to the British Museum (no. 130729, measuring 15.4 cms. in diameter) is the following text. Its imperfections are indicated by the photograph and copy (Pls. xiii, xiv); they cannot be supplemented from the duplicate which doubtless existed upon the shank of the cone, for this has completely disappeared.Col.
