b4 Marduk - seemingly a mistake. But I don't know how to correct.
[edit]- graciously before Marduk,
- daily before Marduk
- These are two options of translation for a sinlge phrase.
- libit Esagila | i-gi-ir-ri-e | ûmi-ša-am |
- i-na ma-ḫar (ilu)Marduk be-li-ia | iluZar-pa-ni-tum | be-el-ti-ia
- One of them should be put in parenthesis. Pashute (talk) 17:35, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Are you saying that there is a transcription error from the original publication to our copy, or that the original author of this translation made a mistake? If there is a transcription error from the 1903 publication, please specify the page and how the Wikisource copy differs from the publication. If there is a translation error, Wikisource does not note those. Wikisource is a library that provides access to the publications as they were published. Altering them would be like writing in the books in a library, and Wikisource doesn't do that. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:47, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
