Obviously,
there are a number of permutations which are consistent with this data
(e.g. some interleaving of groups), but such permutations do not at this
time seem to have an obvious impact for most chronological purposes. The
inclusion of other eponyms is also not excluded – especially between
Assur-da’issunu and Assur-ketti-ide and Usat-marduk and Ellil-asared.
[1]
There are three
reported Aibi-assur eponyms in this period: Qibi-assur<Ibassi-ili;
Qibi-assur<Samash-aha-iddina [brother to Ubru] and Qibi-assur<Silli-marduk.
There are only a few letters with patronymic.
In addition to Istar-eris<Sulmanu-qarrad, Istar-eris<Samash-aha-iddina
is reported as an eponym (together with his two brothers).
