Šuqamuna and Šumaliya are the only two Kassite gods known to be referenced outside of theophoric personal names and some poorly preserved glossaries, and they are the only ones to consistently receive a divine determinative.
This text also refers to a 'temple of Šumaliya and Šuqamuna, the great gods',[8]: 268 though this may have been a cultic room or shrine in the palace rather than an independent temple building.
[2]: 18 This marked a departure from the tradition of investiture at the Temple of Enlil, as the new dynastic gods now conferred kingship upon Babylon's rulers, bringing this source of legitimacy under palace control.
A Kudurru-stone from the reign of Nebuchadnezzar I in the 12th-century BCE mentions Šumaliya as 'the lady of the bright mountains, who dwells upon the summits, who treads beside the springs'.
[8]: 264 The Aššur-Babylon A text of Esarhaddon, found in a set of clay tablets from Nineveh, describes how he restored a number of tutelary deities to their sanctuaries, including 'the gods Ḫumḫumiya, Šuqamuna, (and) Šimaliya [to] Sippar-Aruru' in the 7th-century BCE.
