The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria

CHAPTER VIII
85/110

The attributes that he gives them do not differ from those that we come across in the texts of his predecessors.

The longest list is furnished by the hymn which has already been referred to.

The text is unfortunately fragmentary, and so we cannot be sure that the names embrace the entire pantheon worshipped by him.

The list opens with Bel (who, as we have seen, is the old Bel of Nippur); then follow Sin, Ninib, Ishtar, Shamash, Ramman.
