Huprecut, BE. 20, p. 49 mentions two tablets of 4[-te-ir-KA-Sa, dated also in the first year of his reign. The name is derived from etir-pi-Sa, “Her word saves ” oa 8 Cf. ¢[Ur}-di-kug-ga, Crirra, PBS. VILL No, 10, where the date refers to id Im-gur-4.Nin-subur ? mu- -ba-al, “ year when Urdukugga dug the canal Imgur-Ninsubur ” ; Unewap, in Hasaurasr’s Gesetz, VI, 1782 read Imgur-4.Nin-in-sina. Unenxap restored the name of this king correctly, and cf. the name Ur-du-kug-ga in a document dated in the reign of Enlilbani, PBS. VIII. No. 9. See my note in PBS. X 140. 6 The actual total is 213, but see line 26. The prism must have been written at the end of the reign of Sinmagir for Damik-ili-shu the last king is omitted. Since this scribe entirely omits the short reign of 6 months after Girra-imiti, his list would have for the entire reign 15 kings and 226 years, against 225 1/2 years on P. No. 5, which proves that he reckoned this brief reign of 6 months with Girra-imitti, hence his figure is 8 for Girra-imiti, not 7 as on P. No. 5.
