A Fragment of a Synchronistic King List (Ass 13956dh)

A fifth fragment (Ass 13956dh; Ashur ph 4198) bearing a copy of a Synchronistic King List [https://www.livius.org/sources/content/anet/272-synchronic-king-list/], also found at the Assyrian religious capital Ashur, preserves the names of the kings of the Second Dynasty of the Sealand [/ribo/babylon3/index.html] (1025-1005 BC), Bazi Dynasty [/ribo/babylon4/index.html] (1004-985 BC), Elamite Dynasty [/ribo/babylon5/index.html] (984-979 BC), and the Uncertain Dynasties [/ribo/babylon6/index.html] (978-626 BC). The tablet originally contained two columns on each face, which each column of text being further sub-divided into four sub-columns (from left to right: the Babylonian king, the Babylonian chief scholar, the Assyrian king, and the Assyrian chief scholar). The preserved text (=cols. iii and iv) comes from the lower part of the reverse face. This version of the Synchronistic King List [https://www.livius.org/sources/content/anet/272-synchronic-king-list/] was probably inscribed during the reign of the Assyrian king Aššur-etel-ilāni (ca. 631–627/626 BC).
