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 found in Nbk. 24 (C012) i´ 14´ and 21´ 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.
