An Akkadian inscription on a fragment of a five-sided prism contains part of an inscription describing construction on Edurgina, the temple of the god Bēl-ṣarbi in Baṣ. Although the text has been attributed to Esarhaddon, there is no clear association of this inscription with Esarhaddon and it is arbitrarily included here rather than with some other Neo-Assyrian king.

Access the composite text [/ribo/babylon6/Q003373] of Esarhaddon 1001.

A fragment of a clay prism from the Kuyunjik collection preserves part of an inscription of a Neo-Assyrian king that mentions Babylon and Esagil, the temple of the god Marduk in Babylon. There is no clear association of this inscription with Esarhaddon and it is arbitrarily included here rather than with some other Neo-Assyrian king.

This poorly preserved inscription written in contemporary Babylonian script is found on a fragment of a tablet from Uruk. It is written in Akkadian and records the dedication or rededication of animals and individuals to the goddess Ištar. The author of the inscription is described as the grandson of Sargon, and this presumably refers to Esarhaddon.
