作者：Oliver Wehr;摘要：Epode 16 ist irgendwann in den Jahren nach Philippi (wohl am ehesten 38 v. Chr.) entstanden. In drastischen Worten ruft Horaz darin zum Verlassen der Heimat auf, die sich wieder einmal in blutigen Bilrgerkriegen selbst zerfleischt. Wie auch in Epode 7 (und Shnlich spa'ter in den OdenⅢ3 und 6) fuhrt Horaz das Ubel auf eine alte Blutschuld zurilck (v. 9: impia perdemus devoti sanguinis

作者：Richard J Dumbrill;摘要：I - Introduction The Neo-Babylonian text UET VII, 1261, published by the late Professor O.R. Gurney, shows that in 1.42 a fourth-string is listed, bilingually, as Sumerian 'sa 4.tur' = 'fourth, small-string', and Akkadian 'a-ba-nu-[u]'= 'Ea-created'.

作者：Leon Crickmore;摘要：One of the most significant recent developments in musicology has been the transcription and interpretation of certain musical cuneiform texts dating from the second millennium BC. It has been established that Old Babylonian music was diatonic and probably based on seven heptachords, corresponding to the first seven tones of the ancient Greek octave species. However, there remains a problem: there is some ambiguity in the texts about whether the scales should be rising or falling, and their nomenclature changing according to which direction is chosen. This article suggests a possible resolution of the difficulty. On the assumption that Old Babylonian theoreticians might have quantified their scales, the article arithmetizes the tuning procedures of the two main cuneiform tuning texts together, as a single process, and thereby also demonstrates the plausibility of the hypothesis that the idealized model for Babylonian tuning would be likely to have been Just tuning rather than Pythagorean tuning, as has been generally assumed.

摘要：1. Ayyaru in the Gula Hymn of Bullutsa-rabi Lines 178-187 of the Gula Hymn of Bullutsa-rabi1 is about the function of Ninlil.
