PREPARER'S NOTE
The original text contains a number of characters that are not
available even in 8-bit Windows text, such as H with a breve below
it in Hammurabi, S with a breve, S and T with a dot below them, U
with macron, and superscript M in Tašmętum. These have been left
in the e-text as the base letter.
The 8-bit version of this text includes Windows font characters
like S with a caron above it (pronounced /sh/) as in Šamaš, etc.
These may be lost in 7-bit versions of the text, or when viewed
with different fonts.
Greek text has been transliterated within brackets "{}" using an
Oxford English Dictionary alphabet table. Diacritical marks have
been lost.
