Note 840 — Chapter VI · DECIPHERMENT OF THE THIRD OR BABYLONIAN COLUMN—HINCKS AND RAWLINSON—A.D. 1846-1851
Reading edition
Singularly enough, Hincks had just independently deciphered in the Obelisk inscription the names of Menahem and Jehu the son of Omri. Prof. Wilson, Jan. 1852, J. R. A. S. xiii. 198. See also George Smith, Assyrian Discoveries, 1883, p. 10. Hincks did not at first recognise Rawlinson’s identification of Samaria (see Athenæum, Sept. 13, 1851).
