Cylinder recording work in the Ebabbar at Sippar by Nabonidus.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Three-columned cylinder seal, by King Nabonidus of Babylon (556-539 BC) recording work on the Ebabbar sanctuary at Sippar, temple of the sun-god Shamash, including work on the ziggurat Ekunankuga. Ashmolean Museum, Well-Blundell collection, 1922.201. https://collections.ashmolean.org/object/464355 Note: the card in the Museum, the museum website and also Cuneiform Texts in The Metropolitan Museum of Art Volume IV p.304-306 indicate Sippar as the provenance of this cylinder, whereas it cas clearly be seen that "Senkereh" (i.e. Larsa another place of worship of the sun-god) is written on the cylinder; probably a confusion cf. RINBE2 p.114.
