The exact sequence of eponyms for the short reign of Aššur-etel-ilāni (630–627 BC), Ashurbanipal's immediate successor, is unknown and, thus, every person who has attempted to order the eponyms has his/her own sequence. The chart below compares the arrangement of the post-canonical eponyms for the years 630–627 BC suggested by M. Falkner (AfO 17 [1954–56] pp. 100–120), S. Parpola (PNA 1/1 pp. XVIII–XIX), and J.E. Reade (Orientalia NS 67 [1998] pp. 255–265).

| 630 | 1 | Adad-rēmanni (unknown rank) | Ṣalam-šarri-iqbi, field marshal of Kummuhu | Bēl-šaddûʾa (unknown rank) |
| 629 | 2 | Bēl-šarru-naʾid (unknown rank) | Nabû-šarru-uṣur "the later," palace scribe | Nabû-sagībi, governor of Lahīru |
