The seventy-ninth ruler of Ashur according to the Assyrian King List [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/kinglists/assyriankinglist/index.html] (AKL) was Aššur-nādin-apli. That text records that he came to power by seizing the throne from his father Tukultī-Ninurta I [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria13631115bc/tukultininurtai/index.html]; he reigned for only three or four years, depending on which copy of the AKL is correct. Chronicle P reports that Aššur-nādin-apli and the "officers of Assyria" rebelled against Tukultī-Ninurta, shut him up in Kār-Tukultī-Ninurta, and killed him (Grayson 1975, 176: iv 10-12). M. Streck (2014-2016, 178) suggests that Tukultī-Ninurta construction of his new capital may have enraged the established elites of Ashur, Assyria's traditional religious and political capital. Aššur-nādin-apli was succeeded by his son Aššur-nārārī III [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/riao/thekingdomofassyria13631115bc/ashurnarariiii/index.html].
To date, three royal inscriptions of this Assyrian ruler are known.

A clay tablet in the Yale Babylonian Collection (New Haven) is inscribed with a text of Aššur-nādin-apli stating that the king directed the course of the Tigris River back to its original bed, salvaged agricultural land in the vicinity of the city Aššur that had been flooded, and built a shrine to commemorate the occasion. The tablet, which was inscribed in the eponymy of Erība-Sîn, is presumed to have come from Aššur.
