Quoted text:

From Enentarzi to Urukagina,” wrote Lambert, “the administrative bureaus are born. Archives have been created, and perhaps even statistics. The rule of Urukagina will be the crowning achievement of this enormous work, the triumph of a bureaucracy that will never lack for paperwork (if we can use that expression for writing in clay).”

Can you help us figure out which text by Lambert this should be attributed to in a footnote, and check the contents of the quotation?
