Doing research and re-found this in @IraqJournal . Warning to my students now—I expect one of these when I am 80.
Prof. Al-Juboori gives an alphabetic transliteration and Arabic translation of a monumental text of the 9th cent BC, dedicated to the warrior god Ninurta (whose temple was right next to the goddess Ištar's at Nimrud)

Almost all academic journals depend on the good will & free labour of senior researchers as referees. IRAQ is no different—except that we’re super-lucky to have such kind and generous colleagues. Today I emailed three potential referees. They’ve already all said yes 💐👏🔝📝📗💚
Do you recognise this (reverse) image of an Iraqi figure, probably late Antique? We're trying to track it down in our early journal issues (on @JSTOR and/or @CambUP_Classics) but you may be able to save us a lot of time ...
He looks very jolly, whoever he is! xitter.cf/Alii_iii/status/984430…
If you have JSTOR or @CambUP_Classics access to the journal, could you spare a little while going through back-issues to help us identify exactly which Nimrud ivory this is a photo of? Or maybe you're already an expert who just *knows*... xitter.cf/Alii_iii/status/984430…
Thread on surviving artefacts from the production of our very first issues in the 30s onwards 📸📗💚 xitter.cf/alii_iii/status/984429…
