Biography

The circumstances surrounding the fall of the previous (Bazi) dynasty and his ascendancy are unknown. His name was Akkadian and he was described as a remote descendant of Elam[nb 2] in the Dynastic Chronicle[i 3] Despite his ancestry, he does not seem to have been regarded as a foreign interloper by later ages. It records that he was buried in the palace of Sargon[nb 3] and that his rule was for six years. The Eclectic Chronicle[i 4] records his fourth year but the event is not preserved. It may be concerning the suspension of the Akitu festival due to Aramean incursions, as this is the typical subject of the chronicle.[1]

Four bronze arrowheads from Luristan have been recovered inscribed with his name and the royal title šar kiššati, “king of the world.”[2] They are now held as part of the Iranian Lorestān bronze collection.
