Quoted text:

As Diakonoff (“Father Adam,” 1982: p. 18) observed, “in the Ancient Orient naming was an essential part of the act of creation: as long as its name was nonexistence, a creature was, as it were, nonexistent or not alive, cp. the prologue to Enuma elish.”

Can someone with access to this text (Igor M. Diakonoff, “Father Adam,” Archiv für Orientforschung, Vol. 19, 1982) verify the page number (18) and that the text in the quotation is accurate to the original source?
