Tiglath-pileser II

Tiglath-pileser II (966-935 BC) was a son of Aššur-rēša-iši II (971-967 BC). According to the Assyrian King List (AKL), in which he appears as the ninety-seventh ruler of Ashur, he reigned for 32 years and was succeeded by his son Aššur-dān II (934-912 BC) (Grayson 1986, 113-114). Apart from his genealogical connections, nothing is known about Tiglath-pileser II (Grayson 1991, 129; Baker 2011, 1329).

A damaged stele discovered in the so-called "row of steles" at Ashur bears an inscription of a Tiglath-pileser, possibly the second king of this name since it was found close to a stele of his father Aššur-rēša-iši II.

This badly damaged stele, which was found in the "row of steles" at Ashur, bears an inscription of an Assyrian official. The name of its non-royal owner appears to be Marduk-muballiṭ, a man who served one of the Tiglath-pilesers; he was the son of Ninurta-apla-iddina and grandson of Erība-Aššur, both of whom were governors of a city whose name is no longer preserved. The ruling monarch in question may have been Tiglath-Pileser II, but this is not absolutely certain. Due to its poor state of preservation, no edition is included here.
