CttA^ VnL' yearb, from about B.a 2004 to b.c. 154J5vtiie xiioiKuiii...ents enable us to assign Bome eight or ten nionarchsy whose inactiptionB are characterised by a general resemblance, and by a character intermediate between the extreme rudeness of the more ancient and the comparative elegance and neatness of the later legends.

Sennacherib, in a rock inscription at Bavian^ relates that in his tenth year (which was B.c. 692) he recovered from Babylon certain images of the gods which had been carried thither by Merodachriddinrakhi^ King of Babylon, after his defeat of Tiglath-Pileser, King of Assyria, 418 years previously.
