Inshushinak (alsoŠušinak,[2]Šušun;[3]Linear Elamite:Insušinak,Cuneiform:𒀭𒈹𒂞dInšušinak) was the tutelary god of the city ofSusa inElam. His name has aSumerian etymology, and can be translated as "lord of Susa". He was associated with kingship, and as a result appears in the names and epithets of multiple Elamite rulers. In Susa he was the main god of the local pantheon, though his status in other parts of Elam might have been different. He was also connected with justice and the underworld. His iconography is uncertain, though it is possible snakes were his symbolic animals. TwoMesopotamian deities incorporated into Elamite tradition,Lagamal andIshmekarab, were regarded as his assistants. He was chiefly worshiped in Susa, where multiple temples dedicated to him existed. Attestations from other Elamite cities are less common. He is also attested in Mesopotamian sources, where he could be recognized as an underworld deity or as an equivalent ofNinurta. He plays a role in the so-calledSusa Funerary Texts, which despite being found in Susa were written inAkkadian and might contain instructions for the dead arriving in the underworld.

Name

[edit]

Inshushinak's name can be translated as "lord ofSusa".[4] It is aloanword which originated inSumerian, withapheresis, otherwise rarely attested in this language, resulting in the shift fromdnin-šušinak to Inshushinak.[5][a] As suggested by Frans Wiggermann, Inshushinak's name might have originally developed in theUruk period, when according to him Mesopotamians established a colony in Susa.[7] He proposes that alongsideNinazu,Ningishzida,Ishtaran andTishpak he can be considered one of the members of a category of deities he refers to as the "Transtigridian snake gods", who likely developed on the border between the cultural spheres of Mesopotamia and Elam.[8]

The most common spelling of Inshushinak's name incuneiform wasdIn-šu-ši-na-ak, though otherphonetic syllabic variants such asdIn-su-uš-na-ak,In-sú-uš-nak,dIn-šu-uš-na-ak andŠu-ši-na-ak are also attested, in addition to logographic ones.[9] A well attested example of the latter isdMÚŠ.[2] InNeo-Elamite sources the variantdMÚŠ.LAM is attested, with the last sign presumed to be derived from theAkkadian termlammu, used to designate theunderworld.[10] Further logographic spellings includedMÚŠ.EREN,dNIN.MÚŠ.EREN anddMÚŠ.ḪU.LAM.[9]

Character

[edit]

Tutelary god of Susa

[edit]

It is assumed that Inshushinak's original role was that oftutelary god ofSusa.[11] He was also the main deity of the local pantheon,[12] theruler of the gods.[9] He was also considered a royal god byElamite rulers.[13] An earlyElamite source, the treaty withNaram-Sin of Akkad, states that "to the god Inshushinak a king is subject" (Inšušinak hurtur zukir), while in later times he was frequently invoked in royaltheophoric names and epithets.[14] For example, Atta-hushu referred to himself as the "shepherd of Inshushinak".[15]Shutrukids commonly used the title "(king) whose kingdom Inshushinak loves".[16] Multiple rulers dedicated new construction projects to Inshushinak.[17] Jan Tavernier argues Inshushinak was initially elevated to a high position byPuzur-Inshushinak, and states that through history it reflected the political position of Susa, similarly to how the changes in the position ofMarduk inBabylonia reflected the fate of the city ofBabylon.[9] Wouter Henkelman states that while Inshushinak's primacy was recognized across the Elamite lowlands around Susa,Elamite religion, like other ancient religions, should be understood as a "patchwork of local traditions", and as a result further eastHumban andNapirisha were more commonly recognized as deities of comparable status instead.[18] An inscription ofShilhak-Inshushinak refers to Inshushinak as the "greatest of gods" (or "great among the gods";rišar nappapir), though the same epithet is also applied to Humban in this text.[19] Katrin De Graef suggests that an oath from theSukkalmah period (c. 1880-1450 BCE; roughly contemporary with theOld Babylonian period[20]) which invokes Napirisha before Inshushinak might indicate that at the time Susa was a dependence ofAnshan, where the former was recognized as the main deity.[21]

Inshushinak was strongly associated with theacropolis (alumelu, aloanword from Akkadianālu elû, "high city") of Susa, its most elevated section, and he could be accordingly referred to as its lord (temti alimelu).[12] An inscription from a stele ofShilhak-Inshushinak invoked him under this title and implored him to listen to his prayers and grant him his various requests.[22][b]

God of justice

[edit]

Another well attested aspect of Inshushinak's character was his role as a divine judge, which exemplified his connection to justice.[14] In the Sukkalmah period he frequently appears in oath formulas in economic and legal documents alongside Ishmekarab.[24] Sources from the same period also state that parties in agreements committed themselves to them by touching thekidinnu (Akkadian) orkitin (Elamite) of this god.[25] This term is variously translated as "god-given royal power", "divinely-enforced legal protection", "legal authority", "legal order, rules" or "divine symbol, emblem".[26] Its meaning is ultimately uncertain, though as pointed out by De Graef, it is possible that it was represented symbolically by a statue or an emblem, as indicated by the references to touching it.[27] In theNeo-Elamite period the concept ofkitin started to appear in royal inscription too, and one such text, attributed toShutruk-Nahhunte, invokes Inshushinak as the deity responsible for bestowingkitin alongside the king.[28]

Underworld god

[edit]

Inshushinak was also associated with the underworld[29] and textual sources from Susa indicate that he was believed to reside in it.[30] He was considered its lord in local tradition as well.[13] Furthermore, his judicial authority was believed to extend to the land of the dead.[14] However, it is not certain if he was recognized as the god of the underworld in the entirety ofElam, and it is possible individual areas had their own deities fulfilling an analogous role in local pantheons.[31] Jan Tavernier notes an analogous role has been proposed forKiririsha inLiyan and forUpurkupak in Choga Pahn, though he stresses this remains speculative.[32] In the Neo-Elamite period, Inshushinak's underworld aspect apparently overshadowed all his other functions.[33] He could be referred to astemti kukunnum lahakra, which is commonly translated as "lord of the dead in the kukunnum", a type of temple.[34] However, it has been pointed out that the Elamiteword stemlaha- can also be translated as "hidden" or "secret", and it is not certain that epithets including it necessarily designated a given deity as related to the underworld; even in Inshushinak’s case it might have been used to refer to his other qualities.[29] Yasmina Wicks on this basis translates it as "the lord who is hidden in thekukkunum".[35]

Iconography

[edit]

Inshushinak'siconography remains uncertain.[4] It is assumed that the god handing therod-and-ring symbol to a king on a stele ofUntash-Napirisha fromSusa is likely to be a depiction of him.[36] While a connection between Inshushinak and snakes is not confirmed by textual sources, it has nonetheless been proposed that he was associated with these animals inElamite art [de].[30] It has been argued that a god depicted alongside a snake and a spring depicted on Elamite seals and reliefs from the beginning of the second millennium BCE up to the reign of Untrash-Napirisha might be him, though identification withNapirisha has also been proposed.[37] Jan Tavernier goes as far as stating that snakes constituted his main symbol.[38] Javier Álvarez-Mon instead suggests he might have been associated with a creature common in Elamite art which he describes as the "bird-headedgriffin",[39] though he stresses it is not impossible it was linked to other Elamite deities as well.[40] Representations of these beings inscribed with a dedication to Inshushinak are known fromChogha Zanbil, but their native name is not preserved.[4] Yasmina Wicks suggests that a fish-woman depicted on the aforementioned stele of Untash-Napirisha, who she compares to other similar hybrids attested in Elamite art, might have been anapotropaic being associated with him.[41]

The figures on theMiddle Elamite reliefs from the walls of the temple of Inshushinak are presumed to depict intercessory minor goddesses (dLAMA) and bull-men (kusarikku).[42]

Associations with other deities

[edit]

Lagamal and Ishmekarab

[edit]

Lagamal andIshmekarab, who both originated asMesopotamian deities,[43][44][45] were regarded as Inshushinak's assistants, and like him played a role in the journey of the dead to the afterlife inElamite religion.[29] During the judgment of the dead, Lagamal most likely acted as theprosecutor and Ishmekarab as adefender, as suggested based on the respective meanings of their names, "who has no mercy" and “who hears the prayer”.[44] Wouter Henkelman metaphorically describes them asadvocatus diaboli andadvocatus dei.[46] They were also responsible for executing Inshushinak's judgments.[47]

In the past it was commonly assumed that Ishmekarab was regarded as Inshushinak's spouse, though this proposal relies on the assumption the former was a female deity, which remains uncertain.[48] An inheritance document indicates that it was believed that Inshushinak and Ishmekarab were responsible for establishing the customary view that the position of a brother byadoption was equal to that of a biological brother.[49]

Napirisha and Kiririsha

[edit]
The Kurangun relief.

There is evidence that Inshushinak could form a triad withNapirisha andKiririsha.[50] It originally formed no earlier than in the first half of the nineteenth century BCE, with references only starting to appear commonly in texts from theMiddle Elamite period.[51] These three deities are invoked together inUntash-Napirisha's inscriptions fromChogha Zanbil and in texts attributed toShilhak-Inshushinak.[52] It has been suggested that since Inshushinak was the lead god ofSusa and Napirisha held an analogous position inAnshan, rulers might have sometimes attempted to present them the same figure.[53] For example, in a number of texts from Chogha Zanbil plural forms are not used when these two gods invoked at once where they would be necessary according to the grammar of theElamite language.[54] It has been argued that theKurangun [de] relief, which depicts a male deity variously interpreted as either of them by modern authors, might have been a product of this process.[55] Milad Jahangirfar states that most likely both of them nonetheless maintained separate identities, though Inshushinak likely acquired some traits from Napirisha.[50]

In the past attempts have been made to present Kiririsha as the spouse of both Inshushinak and Napirisha, but this view is not considered plausible anymore.[53] Primary sources commonly recognize her and Napirisha as a couple.[56]

Ea and Inzak

[edit]

It is possible that Inshushinak was associated, though not necessarily equated, withMesopotamianEa andDilmuniteInzak in Elamite context.[57][c] It has been argued that anAkkadian text attributed to Temti-Agun uses both of the latter names as epithets of Inshushinak.[55] Furthermore, it has been proposed that the fact a single inscription states thatPuzur-Inshushinak's father was named Šu-Ea rather than Šimbi-išuk-Inšušinak might be an indication that these two gods were syncretised.[59]

Worship

[edit]

The earliestElamite source mentioning Inshushinak is the treaty betweenNaram-Sin of Akkad and an Elamite ruler, possiblyKhita ofAwan.[60] This identification is commonly cited in modern literature, though it ultimately remains uncertain, and it is not clear if the Elamite signatory, who is left nameless, hailed from Awan at all.[61] While Inshushinak is only listed sixth among the gods invoked as its divine witnesses, afterPinikir,Humban, Amba, Zit andNahhunte,[9] he appears multiple times through the document, with four certain references and further five tentatively restored ones.[62] Wouter Henkelman on this basis suggests that it is not impossible that the text reflects the cultural milieu ofSusa, rather than Awan.[63]

Susa

[edit]

The last king of theAwan dynasty, Puzur-Inshushinak (reignedc. 2100 BCE), instated daily offerings to Inshushinak in Susa, which constitutes the oldest known reference to such a practice in sources from Elam.[64] It is possible that the meat of the sheep offered to him at dawn and dusk was then consumed by religious personnel.[65] The inscription commemorating this event invokes Inshushinak alongsideShamash,Enlil,Enki,Ishtar,Sin,Ninhursag,Narunte and "the totality of the gods" in a curse formula.[66][d]

Most likely multiple temples dedicated to Inshushinak existed in Susa.[68] Most likely they stood near the acropolis of Susa, as indicated by the discovery of numerous inscribed bricks and three houses of worship, one of which is known to have been dedicated to Inshushinak, during excavations.[68] It is located in the southeast of this area.[4] Textual sources indicate of the houses of worship dedicated to him bore the ceremonialSumerian name Ekikununna ("house, princely pure place") or Ekikuanna ("house, pure place of heaven").[69] According to Françoise Grillot-Susini both of these names might be attempts at creating a Sumerian writing of the Elamite termkukunnum.[70] It has been proposed that it referred to the temple on the top of aziggurat, possibly with funerary connotations.[34] It was rebuilt by Indattu-Inshushinak and Indattu II[69] from theShimashki dynasty.[71] It is agreed that it should be considered separate from the "old temple" (É.GAR8 GIBIL) restored by thesukkalmah Kuk-Kirwaš, but it remains uncertain if the latter can also be distinguished from the temples mentioned in inscriptions of Puzur-Inshushinak andShulgi ofUr.[72] Another of the temples of Inshushinak was referred to ashaštu, "tomb".[58] Presumably this naming choice reflected the worship of Inshushinak's underworld aspect.[29] It has been argued that the É.DÙ.A (reading uncertain), a structure mentioned in an inscription on a stela ofTepti-ahar according to which its six guards were supposed to provide specific commodities during "the festivals ofabu, the four days oftašritu,[e] the feast of the deity Kirwašir, and the day of the new moon" might have been a temple or another "edifice with a funerary function" dedicated to Inshushinak, though the term has also been alternatively interpreted as referring to a tomb or as a vague designation for a construction project.[74] The structure was restored by Inshushinak-shar-Ilani in the Middle Elamite period.[75]

Inshushinak could also be venerated in sanctuaries known assiyan husame, "temple in the grove", which as indicated by their name were located withinsacred groves, well attested in Elamite sources.[76] However, they are not attested in sources from Susa predating the Middle Elamite period.[77] They might have played a role in a funerary cult.[78] It has been suggested that this might have been true for thesiyan husame in general, but while multiple deities for whom such structures are attested, including Inshushinak,Ishmekarab,Lagamal,Kiririsha and possiblyNapirisha, were associated with the underworld, others, likeManzat,Simut and Suhsipa, lacked such a connection.[79][f] Furthermore, the proposed identification betweensiyan husame andhaštu, in the past used to support this proposal, is no longer accepted, as they are listed as two separate types of structures in the text EKI 48.[80]

A type of monumental gates,hiel, could be dedicated to Inshushinak too, and might have represented the entrance to the underworld.[35] However, this conclusion is not certain, as they could be dedicated to various deities, not all of whom have been conclusively proven to be connected to beliefs pertaining to death and the afterlife.[80]

Other cities

[edit]

A stele ofShilhak-Inshushinak discovered in the temple of Inshushinak located at the acropole of Susa enumerates twentysiyan husame restored by this king, most of which were dedicated to Inshushinak, including these located in Tēttu, Ša Attata-mitik, Ekallat, Bīt Turni (restoration partially uncertain), Ša Attata-ekal-likrup, Marrut, Ša Hantallak and possibly Perraperra.[81] Most of these toponyms are otherwise unattested, and it has been argued that they must have been located near the city.[82] However, Wouter Henkelman argues that sanctuaries of Inshushinak might have not been located only in the proximity of Susa, withsiyan husame dedicated to him possibly serving as "markers of royal power" in other parts of Elam.[83]

Aziggurat dedicated to Inshushinak existed inChogha Zanbil (Al-Untash-Napirisha), a city originally established byUntash-Napirisha.[84] In inscriptions from this site he is identified as the "lord of the dead in thesiyan kuk", a term referring to the local temple complex.[29] A sanctuary dedicated jointly to him and Napirisha was located on top of it.[85] He also had a sanctuary in this location referred to with the termlikrin, ahapax legomenon whose translation remains uncertain.[86]

Attestations of temples of Inshushinak are largely limited to texts from Susa and Chogha Zanbil.[87] However, an inscription of Untash-Napirisha from Tappeh Deylam preserved in six copies also mentions the construction of a sanctuary dedicated to him,Mašti [lt] and Tepti.[88] Near the end of the Middle Elamite period, around 1125 BCE, a temple dedicated jointly to him, Napirisha,Kiririsha andSimut was built in Anshan by kingHutelutush-Inshushinak.[89] It was designated by the otherwise unattested term,siyan tarin, "temple of the alliance", though it is not known if this name refers to a secular alliance, to an alliance between worshipers and deities, or to one between the four deities worshiped together in it.[87] However, it is assumed that Inshushinak was not commonly venerated in Anshan, and he is otherwise only attested there in a small number of theophoric names.[38]

Late attestations

[edit]

Inshushinak continued to be worshiped inNeo-Elamite times.[44] In one of the oldest texts possible to date to this period,Shutruk-Nahhunte III [de] (716–699 BCE) states that he reinstalled three statues representing deceased kings in thekukkunum of Inshushinak.[90] These included his father Huban-mena as well as two earlier rulers from theShutrukid dynasty, Hutelutush-Inshushinak and Šilhina-hamru-Lagamar.[91] The goal of this act might have been to link his own rule with an earlier Elamite dynasty.[92] The same ruler also apparently relocated akukunnum of Inshushinak from Susa to Karintaš, possibly to be identified withKerend-e Gharb on the road fromBaghdad andKermanshah, to protect it.[93] A new temple dedicated to him was built in Susa byHallutash-Inshushinak [de].[94] A late administrative archive from Susa mentions the otherwise unattested phenomenon of local manifestations of Inshushinak, linked to Amperi, Halumirashi and Haran.[14]

Heidemarie Koch argued that Inshushinak ceased to be worshiped after the emergence of theAchaemenid state,[95] but Wouter Henkelman points out in a more recent publication that while there is no source from Achaemenid Susa which would make it possible to evaluate whether he remained the main god of this city, based on parallels with the cults ofNapirisha andHumban it is likely that he continued to be worshiped in the lowlands, and his cult might have enjoyed royal patronage.[18] Yasmina Wicks notes that it is possible that Tepti-Huban-Inšušinak II, who might have reigned in the Achaemenid period as a vassal ofCyrus II, mentions Inshushinak (as well asPinikir) in his inscriptions.[96]Atta-hamiti-Inšušinak II [de], the last attested Neo-Elamite ruler,[97][g] also invoked Inshushinak in an inscription meant to highlight his dedication to the god of Susa and to the city's population, though it has been noted he most likely reigned from elsewhere, possibly from a mountains part of modernKhuzestan.[96]

Mesopotamian reception

[edit]

The oldest known Mesopotamian reference to Inshushinak has been identified in anEarly Dynastic god list fromAbu Salabikh.[11] It has been dated to 2500 BCE, and predates the treaty ofNaram-Sin, which makes it the first known reference to this god.[9] In theUr III period, kingShulgi ofUr rebuilt a temple dedicated to him located in Susa which according to his inscriptions bore the name A’arkeš.[98] Daniel Potts concludes that its name has no clear etymology and points out it is not attested in any other sources.[99]

Inshushinak is attested in the god listAn = Anum (tablet V, line 286).[100] He appears in it as a member of a group of deities associated with theunderworld and with snakes alongsideEreshkigal,Ninazu,Ningishzida,Tishpak,Ishtaran and their courtiers, such asIrnina orNirah.[101] However, no courtiers or family members are attributed to him.[100] Marten Stol states that this text designates him as one of the sons of Tishpak alongside Nanshak, Pappasānu, Me-SUḪUR and Ishtaran.[102] According to Manuel Ceccarelli, this connection most likely should be considered as a secondary Mesopotamian development, as it is unlikely the tutelary god of Susa would be recognized as the son of the god ofEshnunna in his own city.[3] Inshushinak is also among the deities whose temples appear in the so-calledCanonical Temple List, presumably compiled in theKassite period and modeled afterAn = Anum.[103] However, neither its full name nor location are preserved.[104]Andrew R. George suggests that Inshushinak's placement in it might reflect an association between him andNinurta known from late Mesopotamian sources.[103] A direct equation between them is also attested.[57] The god listAn = Anum ša amēli explains Inshushinak as "Ninurta of silence" (Ninurta ša qūlti), though the implications of this passage remain poorly understood.[105] An incantation which mentions Inshushinak,Saĝkud andMes-sanga-Unug in sequence[106] according to George might treat all three as forms of Ninurta.[107] In theEpic ofAnzû, Inshushinak ("Shushinak") is one of the names of Ninurta, said to designate him in Susa.[4]Walther Hinz [de] instead argued that in Mesopotamia Inshushinak was equated withAdad, but there is no evidence in any primary sources that would support this view, and Mesopotamian god lists instead recognize three otherwise unknown deities as his Elamite counterparts, Kunzibami, Šihhaš and Šennukušu.[57]

In the incantation seriesŠurpu, Inshushinak appears in a sequence of Elamite deities invoked from Susa alongsideLahuratil,Humban andNapirisha.[108] They are assigned a positive role as figures capable of releasing a patient from trouble.[47]

Inshushinak is mentioned in the account ofAshurbanipal's campaign against Elam (646 BCE).[109] In this context he is described as a "mysterious god who dwells in seclusion, (the god) whose divine features nobody was allowed to see", which according to Jan Tavernier offers a parallel to his Elamite epithets highlighting his "secret" or "hidden" nature.[110] Reettakaisa Sofia Salo argues that the author of this text must have possessed some knowledge of the local traditions pertaining to him.[109]

A man bearing the name Šibqat-Šušinak is mentioned in a single document fromSeleucidUruk.[111] There is however no evidence for large-scale cult of Inshushinak in this location.[112] Not much is also known about Šibqat-Šušinak beyond the fact that his daughter, who bore theGreek name Phanaia, was aslave.[111]

Susa Funerary Texts

[edit]

Inshushinak appears in the so-calledSusa Funerary Texts.[13] They were written inAkkadian typical for the lateOld Babylonian period,[113]c. 1600-1500 BCE, though a slightly more recent date,c. 1400 BCE, is also not impossible.[45] Inshushinak is the only strictly Elamite deity mentioned in them, and it has been argued that their language, form and content reflect the well attested phenomenon of integration of scribes from Susa into the literary culture of Mesopotamia.[114] Nathan Wasserman points out his presence in Akkadian literature from Susa can be compared to analogous cases of other locally popular gods, likeDagan orItūr-Mēr in texts fromMari,Marduk inBabylon orAshur inAssur.[115]

TheSusa Funerary Texts are considered unique because they constitute the only known examples of Akkadian compositions dealing with the underworld to be found in a gravein situ.[45] It has been suggested that they might represent a guide for the dead.[116] However, it is possible they do not form a single coherent composition, and they might not even all belong to the same genre.[117] It is not impossible that they constitute a collection of excerpts from longer texts.[118] Wasserman argues that it cannot be established with certainty to what degree they actually present the fate of the dead in the underworld,[119] and states referring to them as "funerary" might be a misnomer, even though they do allude to the land of the dead.[120] He proposes interpreting them as magical texts comparable to later Greco-Romancurse tablets instead.[121] However, Yasmina Wicks in an earlier publication notes that questioning the funerary context of these texts has historically been a minority position.[122] It is nonetheless recognized that even if this characterization is accepted, theSusa Funerary Texts would constitute the only example offunerary texts written in Akkadian,[123] "a unit which is unique in the Mesopotamian literature."[116]

According to Jan Tavernier's interpretation, theSusa Funerary Texts describe the deceased presenting themselves to theAnunnaki, in this context to be understood as a designation for the gods of the underworld,[h] and subsequently being escorted byLagamal andIshmekarab to receive Inshushinak's judgment.[124] Wasserman notes it is possible the encounter with Inshushinak is described as taking place in a dream, which would offer a close parallel to a passage in theUnderworld Vision of an Assyrian Prince involving the appearance ofEreshkigal in a similar context.[125] It has been proposed that an additional figure involved in the judgment is a "weigher".[126] However, this translation has not been universally accepted,[127] and the concept ofweighing of souls is not attested in any other cuneiform text.[128] Tavernier, while he agrees that theSusa Funerary Texts should be placed within the context of Mesopotamian literature and afterlife beliefs,[129] suggests it could constitute a strictly Elamite concept incorporated into them, despite not being attested in any other Elamite sources either.[130] He proposes comparisons with laterIranian beliefs as supplementary evidence, specifically arguing that the group consisting of Inshushinak, Ishmekarab and Lagamal can be compared to theZoroastrian grouping of theyazatasMithra,Sraosha andRashnu.[131] It is attested chiefly inPahlavi texts, and does not appear in earlierAvesta.[132] Similar comparisons have been made by other authors as well.[133][134] However, this proposal did not find universal support.[135] Tavernier admits that Inshushinak's and Mitra's names are dissimilar and Rashnu's ("justice") and Lagamal's ("who has no mercy") outright contradict each other, though he argues a parallel can be seen between Sraosha and Ishmekarab due to both of them bearing names which go back to terms meaning "hearing, hearkening".[131] However, it is not impossible that this semantic parallel is accidental, as words referring to hearing are not an uncommon component of theonyms, as evidenced for example by the goddessTashmetum, unrelated to either of these figures.[135] Tavernier himself admits that the fact Sraosha only became a popular figure in theParthian period, roughly in the first century BCE, which might indicate a time gap too significant to permit presenting him as analogous to Ishmekarab.[136] He ultimately concludes the similarities might be accidental.[137] Wasserman evaluated his treatment of theSusa Funerary Texts as a whole critically, and argues that it detaches them from their historical context, with Zoroastrian sources separated from them by two millennia treated as closer to them than contemporary Akkadian literature.[128]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^It is often assumed that the nameInanna similarly developed through the loss of the first vowel in a theonym which initially started with the same sign,nin-an-ak, though this view is not universally accepted.[6]
  2. ^The same ruler implored the deceasedKuk-Kirwaš [uk] of theSukkalmah dynasty to intercede with Inshushinak on his behalf.[23]

  4. ^Javier Álvarez-Mon notes that this selection of deities overlaps with these mentioned in a text proclaiming the deification of Naram-Sin of Akkad, with the only differences being the absence ofDagan, the tutelary god ofTuttul, and the inclusion of Inshushinak and Narunde, which according to him might indicate that Puzur-Inshushinak might have consciously emulated rulers of theAkkadian Empire.[67]
