Missing Quotation Mark
Quoted text:
Thus we know lists which enumerated all names of dogs, birds, fish, cattle, or names of places, of trees and wooden objects, of metals, textiles, etc. Among these lists we find one enumerating the titles of officials and professions. It must have been the most famous list of all, because in addition to 124 copies of this list among the Archaic Texts from Uruk we find this list continuously recopied all the way down into the middle of the third millennium BC.
Was this paragraph a quotation from Nissen 1988b continuing from “to a category existing right...” in the paragraph above? Originally there was not a close-quotation mark after “heading” and there was a single close-quotation mark after “of the third millennium BC” that we removed. It seems to us like Hudson’s voice here.
