While the evidence for the existence of temples dedicated to him and regular offerings is sparse, he is commonly attested in theophoric names, including these of members of Elamite royal families.
[3] In texts from Susa, Haft Tepe and Malamir the name of the sun god was usually written logographically as dUTU and it is uncertain when it should be read as Nahhunte rather than Shamash.
[8] Attahushu, who reigned in the eighteenth century BCE, erected a statue dedicated to Nahhunte in a marketplace to make sure the prices will remain just.
[9] An inscription of Shilhak-Inshushinak mentions Nahhunte, labeled as "lord who protects," after Inshushinak, Kiririsha, Humban and Nannar,[3] the last of these deities being a name of the Elamite moon god derived from Mesopotamian Nanna.
[7] Additionally, a commentary on the former text erroneously identifies him as a moon god and Narundi as a sun deity, explaining their names as, respectively, Sin and Shamash.
