Saggarâtum (sa-ga-ra-tumki) was a city in the ancient Near East which is still unlocated though it is known to have been on the Habur River, a tributary of the Euphrates.
In a text from Yaqqim-Addu I, governor of Saggarâtum, to his king Zimri-Lim he wrote: "Ever since I reached Saggaratum five days ago, I have continuously dispatched truffles to my lord.
[3] It has been proposed that the Hurrian deities Teshub and Ḫepat were worshiped there though most of the personal names at Saggarâtum were Semitic.
[5] Initially, the area of Mari, including Saggarâtum, came under the control of the Kingdom of Upper Mesopotamia ruled by Shamshi-Adad I of Ekallatum.
Little is known of Qattunan (a location of Tell Fagdami has been suggested) though some of its governors were Akšak-magir, Ilušu-naṣir, Zakira-ḫammu, and Zimri-Addu.
[11] Under the next ruler, Zimri-Lim, Mari faced problems with incursions by tribal elements, especially the Yaminites.
[16][17] The last significant mention of Saggarâtum was in the Old Babylonian period during the reign of Samsu-iluna (c. 1749–1712 BC), seventh ruler of First Dynasty of Babylon and son of Hammurabi.
"[28]An itinerary from the time of Shamshi-Adad I indicated that travel between his capitol at that time, Shubat-Enlil, and Saggāratum took 5 days (about 175 kilometers) and proceeded on the route Shubat-Enlil, Tilla, Aslhum, Iyatu(m), Lakusir and then Saggāratum.
The first proceeded to Ṣuprum, then to Terqa and then upstream of the Ḫabur, to Saggāratum, Raṣum, Tâdum, Ilānṣurā and Razamā ending at Ḫušlā where observances to Addu of Kummê were made.
Suprum, upstream of Mari, was the home of the Lim dynasty and Tell Abu Hassan has been suggested for its location.
