One of the preserved cuneiform texts mentions that, in her father's 31 years of reign, she received large quantities of blue wool for making ullâku robes.
[2][3] According to another text, she gave the land to the temple of the goddess Ishtar in the city of Uruk.
[3][2] Kaššaya might have been the wife of Neriglissar, who in August 560 BC, after murdering his brother-in-law Amel-Marduk, took the throne of Babylon.
[6] The name Kaššaya occurs several times in Neo-Babylonian texts and is written in various ways in Akkadian: Kaš-šá-a, Kaš-ša-a and Kaš-šá-a-a (as a masculine name).
Although the origin of the name is unclear, the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary (CAD) suggests that the name may be etymologically derived from the word 'kaššu "Kassite".
