Abstract

Abstract A Babylonian inscription found in western Iran is written in the name of an official of the Kassite king Šagarakti-Šuriaš (1245–1233 B.C.). It provides the first contemporary evidence for the parentage of this king and supplements archival testimony to push back the known presence of the Babylonian province system in the Zagros by about half a century.
