[2] According to Wilfred G. Lambert, the possibility that Laguda was a god of the sea is supported by his frequent association with other deities of such character.
[3] The currently unpublished god list Anšar = Anum refers to Laguda as a name of Marduk, and associates him with Dilmun.
[5] However, the text Marduk's Address to the Demons attests that they were separate deities:[6] I am Asallulḫi whom Sirsir nominates in the upper sea, I am Asallulḫi whom Laguda exalts in the lower sea[3]Laguda's cult center was most likely the city Nēmed-Laguda,[7] known from sources from the first millennium BCE.
[8] Its precise location is not known, but based on mentions in ancient texts it can be assumed that it was close to cities such as Eridu, Larsa, Uruk and Ur.
[8] Laguda is also attested in two theophoric names from Nippur from the earlier Kassite period,[9] Tukulti-Laguda and Burra-Laguda.
