One of these was where Assyrian forces under the leadership of Aššur-dan I annexed the region lying between the Lower Zab and the Adhaim, or Al Uzaym River, seizing control of Zaban, Irriya and Urgarsallu, and carrying off much plunder.

The event is described in a late Babylonian poetic text[i 5] purporting to be narrated by a later king, possibly Nabû-kudurrī-uṣur I.

[4] He left his inscriptions on many of the trophies he collected for display in the temples of Susa, each with its boastful addendum, to confirm it was he who had conquered Babylonia.

Another fragment lists the northern cities that had been overthrown including Dur-Kurigalzu, Sippar, Opis, perhaps Akkad and Eshnunna.

[5] A single economic text, a contract[i 6] mentioning Itti-ezida-lummir, is extant dated to his accession year and was recovered in the Merkes area of Babylon.
