"The fifty-five Sumerian tablets, here published, belonged formerly, with one exception, to the collection of the late Dr. C.J. Ball in Oxford and were among those made over by his kindness to the Kyôto imperial university in 1914." Most of these tablets appear to form a part of the find from Drehem, a small mound about three miles south of Nippur. cf. p. [1]
