Note 24 — Chapter I · THE HEBREW PATRIARCHS
Reading edition
This does not imply that the population which founded the kingdom of Mitanni, and probably came from the mountains of Komagênê or of Ararat in the north, was unknown in early Babylonia. In fact, one of the Cuneiform Texts from Babylonian Tablets, published by the British Museum in 1896 (Bu. 91-5-9, 296), contains the names of ‘the governor’ Akhsir-Babu and other witnesses to a contract, most of which are Mitannian.
