Ašarēd-apil-Ekur

Ašarēd-apil-Ekur (1075-1074 BC) was the eighty-eighth king of Ashur according to the Assyrian King List [/riao/kinglists/assyriankinglist/index.html] (AKL). The AKL reports that he ruled for a mere two years. Ašarēd-apil-Ekur succeeded his father, Tiglath-pileser I, to the throne and was succeeded by his brother, Aššur-bēl-kala. No inscriptions of Ašarēd-apil-Ekur survive. The name of this monarch was previously read Ninurta-apil-Ekur, and a text fragment was ascribed to his reign (Grayson 1991, 85). However, this is now attributed to Ninurta-apil-Ekur I [/riao/ria2/ninurtaapilekur/index.html] (text no. 1 [/riao/ria2/ninurtaapilekur/index.html#ninurtaapilekur01]). A broken eponym list perseveres traces of the eponyms of this period (Grayson 1976, 54 §204).
