B in the Elam account. As a late document, it is of value only for the
Uabu affair. [Footnote: Winckler, ZA. II pl. II; AOF. I. 526 ff.] We
may also note here another prism fragment [Footnote: 80-7-19, 15;
Winckler, _Untersuch. z. altor. Gesch._, 98. Cf. King,
_Supplement_, 109.] and a slab with a brief account of many
campaigns. The first, that against Bazu, we know dates to 676. The
others, to Uruk, to Buesh king of an unknown land, Akku, and the king
of Elam, are of doubtful date, but are almost certainly
later. [Footnote: K. 8544; Winckler, AOF. I. 532.--I have been unable
to see Scheil, _Le Prisme S d'Assarhaddon._]

Finally, we must discuss two display inscriptions from the very end of
the reign, whose importance is in no small degree due to the locality
in which they were found. One is the famous stele discovered amid the
ruins of the North Syrian town of Sinjirli. It dates after the capture
of Memphis, 671, and seems to have been composed on the spot, as it
shows no relationship to other inscriptions. [Footnote: Photograph and
text, Schrader, in Luschan, _Ausgrabungen in Sendschirli_, I. 11
ff., and pl. cf. Rogers, 551; _Hist_, op. 399; Paterson,
_Sculptures_, 103. Harper, 90 ff. I have been able to consult
squeezes in the library of Cornell University.] The same is probably
true of the equally famous rock cut inscription at the Dog River (Nahr
el Kelb), north of Berut. Though the oldest Assyrian inscription to
have a cast taken, it seems never to have been published. It is
rapidly disappearing, as the fact that it was cut through a very thin
layer of hard rock has caused much flaking. Esarhaddon is called King
of Babylon and King of Musur and Kusi, Egypt and Ethiopia, and the
expedition against Tarqu, which ended with the capture and sack of
Memphis, is given. Thus it agrees with the Sinjirli inscription and
may well date from the same year. [Footnote: Translation, G. Smith,
