Description

PBS XIV: The worshiping probably of Nabu. Only the inscription has been preserved and the usual divine attendant adoring with both hands up.

“Divine king of the place of council,//Accountant of depositories,//who adores in the abode of peace.”

Nabu was the great accountant and record of the world, and specially worshiped in that quality at Dilmun. His title Lugal-ki-sa-a, was interpreted as “may his depot be full.”
