Two copies of the Assyrian King List (Khorsabad List [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/kinglists/assyriankinglist/khorsabadlist/index.html#Puzurashur3-years] and SDAS [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/kinglists/assyriankinglist/sdaslist/index.html#Puzurashur3-years]) record that Erība-Adad I was the son of Aššur-bēl-nišēšu [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/fromsamsiaddutomittanicilent18081364bc/mittanianhegemony/ashurbelnisheshu/index.html], while another copy (Nassouhi List [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/kinglists/assyriankinglist/nassouhilist/index.html#Puzurashur3-years]) states that he was a son of Aššur-rêm-nišēšu [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/fromsamsiaddutomittanicilent18081364bc/mittanianhegemony/ashurremnisheshu/index.html]. Nevertheless, his own inscriptions (see below) confirm that he was a son of Aššur-bēl-nišēšu. According to the AKL, he ruled Assyria for twenty-seven years.
