1References to Nabopolassar working on the Ištar Gate and Nebuchadnezzar II’s workmen finding foundation documents (presumably clay cylinders) in that gate’s structure are also mentioned in Nbk. 41 (B 43) i´ 4´ and Nbk. 43 (VA Bab 618) i´ 6´. At this time, no inscription of Nabopolassar specifically recording his work on Ištar-sākipat-tēbîša is known.
