[6] However, Jennie Myers points out that there are attestations of Ishtar and Ištar-Ulmašītum being worshiped there as well alongside the temple's primary goddess and Ninigizibara.
[19] Texts from the same city also mention two mythical lions believed to act as Ulmašītum's messengers, Dan-bītum and Rašub-bītum, whose statues apparently stood at the gate of her local temple.
[18] While according to an inscription of Nabonidus the (E-)Ulmaš in the city of Akkad already existed during the reign of Sargon,[2] the oldest attestations of Ulmašītum come from the Ur III period.
[5] While she originated in northern Mesopotamia, she is best attested in texts from Ur, which according to Tonia Sharlach served as her cult center in the south.
[9] In the same period, Ulmašītum was also worshiped in Uruk as a member of the entourage of Inanna, alongside deities such as Annunitum and Ninigizibara.
[8] Walther Sallaberger suggests that the introduction deities such as her, Nanaya or Kanisurra to the local pantheon might have been related to the presence of the queens from the reigning dynasty in the city.
[24] Ulmašītum is mentioned in an Old Babylonian inscription of Takil-iliššu, a king of Malgium,[5] a small kingdom located in Babylonia, to the east of the Tigris and to the south of Eshnunna.
[18] She is also invoked in a curse formula of Takil-iliššu alongside Anu, Annunitum, Ninshubur and the lions Dan-bītum and Rašub-bītum to "cause bad omens" for anyone who removes his name from the foundation of the temple.
