1In Ashurbanipal’s genealogy, Esarhaddon is most often given the titles LUGAL KUR AN.ŠÁR.KI GÌR.NÍTA KÁ.DINGIR.RA.KI “king of Assyria, governor of Babylon” before LUGAL KUR EME.GI₇ u URI.KI “king of the land of Sumer and Akkad.” However, it is not possible to restore both of these titles in the line due to a lack of space, although it is unclear which of them (or perhaps another one) would have been included here.
