    • 1924, H. A. Luyken, Pro Iŝtar: Romano el la antikva Babela historio, Leipzig: Ferdinand Hirt & Sohn:
      Ĉi tiu kromnomo ne surprizis lin, ĉar virinoj en altaj pozicioj, sin dediĉante al la diino, ne malofte alprenis religiajn nomojn por kaŝi sian identecon.
      That nickname did not surprise him, because women in high positions, themselves dedicated to the goddess, did not infrequently give themselves religious names to protect their identity.
