     This chapter of the CAH (Cambridge Ancient History) [no. 22] is devoted to the presentation of the history of Babylonia between ca. 21-20 and 1800 BC: the author deals with Ur III period (its kings and officers, economy and wealth, foreigners from the East, the Amorite invasion with new influences in art), the end or the dynasty of Ur, the successors of Ur kings and intervention from abroad.
     Mozan is quoted specifically on pp. 624-625, speaking about the Hurrians: “Only Urkish, a place prominently identified with the Hurrians by their two most ancient surviving monuments, has been sought as far west as the tributaries of the Khabur”.
