Aššur-nādin-aḫḫē II

Aššur-nādin-aḫḫē, son of Aššur-rêm-nišēšu [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/fromsamsiaddutomittanicilent18081364bc/mittanianhegemony/ashurremnisheshu/index.html], exercised the kingship of Assyria for ten years (at the beginning of the 14th century BCE). Two fragmentary texts (see below) written in the name of Aššur-nādin-aḫḫē are usually ascribed to the second Assyrian ruler with this name, rather than to the first king [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/fromsamsiaddutomittanicilent18081364bc/mittanianhegemony/ashurnadinahhei/index.html] with this name. In Amarna letter 16, Assur-uballiṭ I [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria13631115bc/ashuruballiti/index.html] states that diplomatic relations with Egypt had already begun in the days of Aššur-nādin-aḫḫē (Rainey 2015:130). Millard (2005:308) has suggested that this must be Aššur-nādin-aḫḫē II.
