Excerpt from Assyrian Language: Easy Lessons in the Cuneiform Inscriptions

The last two chapters contain a series of short extracts from historical documents together with trans literations and translations and a glossary; every verb is parsed in the footnotes to the texts and every form explained which might prove puzzling to the beginner. The chief object throughout has been to make the reader familiar with the most common signs and words and grammatical forms, so that, after reading through the extracts from texts here given, he will be in a position to attack the longer and more varied inscriptions in my First Steps in Assyrian.
