A two-column clay cylinder is inscribed with an Akkadian inscription of Antiochus I Soter recording that he started renovating Ezida ("True House"), the temple of Nabû at Borsippa. More specifically, the text states that he relaid the foundations of this temple in the month Addaru (XII), in the forty-third year of the Seleucid era (=268 BC).
