APPENDIX II

THE ANTEDILUVIAN KINGS OF BEROSSUS AND
THE SUMERIAN DYNASTIC LIST

It may be of assistance to the reader to repeat in tabular form the equivalents to the mythical kings of Berossus which are briefly discussed in Lecture I. In the following table the two new equations, obtained from the earliest section of the Sumerian Dynastic List, are in upper-case.(1) The established equations to other names are in normal case, while those for which we should possibly seek other equivalents are enclosed within brackets.(2) Aruru has not been included as a possible equivalent for {’Aloros}.(3)

      1. {’Aloros}
      2. {’Alaparos (?  ’Adaparos)}, Alaporus, Alapaurus (Adapa)
      3. {’Amelon, ’Amillaros}, Almelon (Amelu)
      4. {’Ammenon} ENMENUNNA
      5. {Megalaros, Megalanos}, Amegalarus
      6. {Daonos, Daos} ETANA
      7. {Euedorakhos, Euedoreskhos}, Edoranchus Enmeduranki
      8. {’Amemphinos}, Amemphsinus (Amel-Sin)
      9. {’Otiartes (?  ’Opartes)} (Ubar-Tutu)
     10. {Xisouthros, Sisouthros, Sisithros} Khasisatra, Atrakhasis(4)

(1) For the royal names of Berossus, see Euseb. chron. lib. pri., ed.  Schoene, cols. 7 f., 31 ff.  The latinized variants correspond to forms in the Armenian translation of Eusebius.
(2) For the principal discussions of equivalents, see Hommel, Proc.  Soc.  Bibl.  Arch., Vol.  XV (1893), pp. 243 ff., and Die altorientalischen Denkmaeler und das Alte Testament (1902), pp. 23 ff.; Zimmern, Die Keilinschriften und das Alte Testament, 3rd ed. (1902), pp. 531 ff.; and cf.  Lenormant, Les origines de l’histoire, I (1880), pp. 214 ff.  See also Driver, Genesis, 10th ed. (1916), p. 80 f.; Skinner, Genesis, p. 137 f.; Ball, Genesis, p. 50; and Gordon, Early Traditions of Genesis, pp. 46 ff.

     (3) There is a suggested equation of Lal-ur-alimma with
     {’Aloros}.
