Aššur-nārārī II was the sixty-eighth ruler of
Aššur, according to the Assyrian
King List [/riao/kinglists/assyriankinglist/assyriankinglist/index.html#AssurRabi] (AKL), which also says that he ruled for seven
years and was the son of
Enlil-nāṣir II, his predecessor. However, this filiation in
the AKL proves to be erroneous, when compared with the inscriptions of
later rulers, where Aššur-nārārī II appears always as a son of Aššur-rabi I (and brother of Enlil-nāṣir II). The inscriptions are:
Aššur-rêm-nišēšu (his son) text no. 1 [/riao/ria1/Q005708/], Erība-Adad I text no. 1 [/riao/ria1/Q005717/], and Aššur-uballiṭ texts nos. 1 and 2 [/riao/ria1/Q005719,Q005720/].
For further insights on the erroneous filiation of Aššur-nārārī II
(and of Aššur-rēm-nišēšu) in the framework of the editorial history of the AKL, see the introduction [/riao/kinglists/assyriankinglist/index.html#Mitanni] to the list.
None of Aššur-nārārī II's inscriptions have yet been discovered.
