One hundred and ninety-eight tablets of the Yale Babylonian Collection are published in this volume. They are dated in the reign of Cyrus and Cambyses (538-521 B.C.), and their provenance is Erech and its environs. A few are dated at Babylon and Larsa. As a whole they are well preserved and the script is clear and distinct. Some of the documents deal with religious customs but most are legal or commercial in character, covering judgments, bailments, hire of houses and slaves and of sheep and cattle, receipts of various kinds, leases of land, etc. A review of them discloses the continued power and influence of the temple under the rule of Cyrus and Cambyses; and also the extensive pastoral and agricultural occupations of the environs of Erech. - Introduction.
