Note 121 — Chapter I · (continued 2)
Walter Armstrong translation
Upon the subject of this cylinder, in which George Smith wished to recognize a representation of Adam and Eve tempted by the serpent, see M. Joachim Ménant's paper entitled, La Bible et les Cylindres Chaldéens (Paris, 1880, Maisonneuve, 8vo). M. Ménant makes short work of this forced interpretation and of several similar delusions which were beginning to win some acceptance.
