Extract

In Plates II and III of this study three new pieces of the Etana legend are presented, and the beginning of Tablet II is described on the basis of a fragment published in another collection. The new texts are Sm 1839, 83–1–18, 489, and Sm 157 + 1134; the last-mentioned piece results from a recent join, Sm 157 by itself having been first published in R. Campbell Thompson, The Epic of Gilgamish, pl. 54. The texts are discussed in four sections, and are concluded with some general remarks on the composition. Attention may particularly be directed to the fourth section which significantly enlarges the Etana story.
