Iter-pisha

Īter-pīša, inscribed in cuneiform as i-te-er-pi/pi4-ša and meaning "Her command is surpassing",[1] c. 1833–1831 BC (MC), was the 12th king of Isin during the Old Babylonian period.

[2] His relationships with his predecessor and successor are uncertain and his reign falls during a period of general decline in the fortunes of the dynasty.

He is only known from Kings lists and year-name date formulae in several contemporary legal and administrative texts.

[3] Two of his year-names refer to his provision of a copper Lilis for Utu and Inanna respectively, where Lilissu is a kettledrum used in temple rituals.

It is extant in seven fragmentary manuscripts[i 3] and seems to be a petition to the king from a subject who has fallen on hard times.
