Excerpt from The Babylonian Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania; Series A, Cuneiform Texts, Vol. 8: Part I
In this volume the seals which appear upon the documents are reproduced in connection with the texts. In copying some of the smaller and closelv written tablets of this volume, practically ali of which are unbaked and manv in a poor state of preservation, I have enlarged somewhat the reproductions, preserving, how ever, the relative position of the characters and all that the tablet contains, so that those who use the texts will not. Need to encounter the same difficulties which con I'ronted the copyist. In the Description of Tablets the exact. Measurements of the documents are given, as well as what is known of the provenience of the material. This has been gathered from the Expedition archives, for which I am indebted to the editor, I'rol'. Iiilprecht, who also kindly loaned me several books from his private Iibrarv.
