: Re: How do I cite/reference multiple lines of cuneiform translations in MLA? I have a text from the Nebonidus Harran inscriptions that I want to specifically reference in my paper. The quote looks

A common way to quote lines of text in continuous running text is to separate the lines by forward slashes:

The Nebonidus Harran inscriptions says: "... (But) the sons of Babylon, Borsippa, / Nippur, Ur, Erech, Larsa, priests (and) / people of the capitals of Akkad ..." (Nebonius Harran 14-16) From this description we can infer that bla bla.

This is appropriate for poems, Bible verses, ancient manuscripts, and inscriptions. I don't know the source, so I made one up; just make sure you add the line numbers to your citation.

But usually only very brief quotations are given in text. If the quotation is longer (than 40 words), then you should cite the text as a block quote, if possible with the lines preserved as in the original.
