Enlil-nāṣir I

According to the Assyrian King List [/riao/KingLists/AssyrianKingList/AssyrianKingList/index.html#BelubaniDynasty] (AKL), Enlil-nāṣir I, son of Puzur-Aššur III, exercised kingship over Assyria for thirteen years (ca. first half of the 15th century BCE). He also appears in the Synchronistic King List [/riao/KingLists/SynchronisticKingList/index.html], however the name of his Babylonian contemporary remains unknown, as it is completely broken away.
