“ Such was its fame, ” comments Georges Roux in his book Ancient Iraq, “that the King of Ugarit, on the Syrian coast, did not hesitate to send his son 600 kilometres [370 miles] inland for the sole purpose of visiting ‘ the house of Zimri - Lim. ’ ”
” Istana itu begitu termasyhur, ” kata Georges Roux dalam bukunya Ancient Iraq, ” sampai - sampai Raja Ugarit, di pesisir Siria, tidak ragu mengutus putranya pergi sejauh 600 kilometer dari pesisir hanya untuk mengunjungi ’ kediaman Zimri - Lim ’. ”
