Plate 51. :ene from a stone tablet in the British MUSEUM, recording the restoration of the Temple of the Sun-god at Sippara, near Babylon, by Nabu-pal-idinna, king ofBabylonia (about B. C. 900). The inscription on the left, which appears to be a description of the whole scene, reads : The image of the Sun-god, the great lord, who dwelleth in E-barra which is in Sippara. The three figures approaching the Sun-disk placed on an altar, are probably two of thepriests of the temple and the king. The inscription above the shrine reads : The Moon-god, and the Sun-god, and Ishtar, are placed in opposition to the Abyss, between . . . , andhas reference to the three symbols in the shrine. The inscription in front of the deity seatedin the shrine reads : O Moon-disk, O Sun, illuminate the face of Shamash. On the obverse and reverse of the tablet is an inscription enumerating the kings gifts,with rules for the dress of the priests, &c.
