An early study of the Babylonian kudurru (boundary stone) inscriptions of what is now known as the Kassite Era, this booklet presents a self-contained exploration of two of the markers. Focusing on Kudurru Inscriptions III Rawlinson 43 and III Rawlinson 41, Belser gives transcriptions and translations of both texts. A detailed commentary follows the presentation of the actual texts, and this is accompanied by notes from the original drawings of the text. Carefully reproduced full text hand-drawn copies are also included, providing indications of lacunae and other trouble-spots. This original study, undertaken by a scholar with the breadth of language ability represented by Belser, is bound to be useful to students of Akkadian, boundary stones, or even the astronomical implications represented by this genre of texts.

Carl Wilhelm Belser (1860-1898) studied at the Universities of Michigan and Leipzig. A Lutheran pastor, he taught a variety of languages at the University of Michigan, Carthage College, and the University of Colorado.

The Life of Severus by Zachariah of Mytilene

This biography of Severus, the patriarch of Antioch from 512-518 CE, attributed to his schoolmate Zachariah of Mytilene, gives unique information about life in Mediterranean region in the second half of the 5th century. These two young men from wealthy families became involved with a Christian movement, the "philoponoi," "those devoted to work" who combined asceticism with theological study. The work, originally in Greek, survives only in Syriac, which this volume presents alongside the first English translation of it. It is an important source for studies on Ancient Biography, Late Antiquity, and Early Christianity.
