Acknowledgement
Apart from the efforts of myself, the success of any project depends
largely on the encouragement of many others. I would like to show
my greatest appreciation to my friends, especially late Dr. Goliath
Nessan, Mr. Mirza Shmoil, Ms. Iannuzziello, Ms. Zuccarelli, Mr.
Durnan, Mr. Storoschuck, Ms. Clarke, Mr. Stuart, and Miss Smith for
the encouragement that I have always received from them in
publishing my previous books, journal entries and developing my
software. Also, I am personally would like to thank my late father,
Petros Cherry, for he always supported and encouraged me while
working on Assyriological projects.
