Marduk-aḫḫē-erība (1046 BC)

Almost nothing is known about the ninth ruler of the Second Dynasty of Isin [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/ribo/babylon2/index.html]. His name is partly broken in Babylonian King List A [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/ribo/kinglists/kinglista/index.html]; the restoration of the pertinent entry as Marduk-aḫḫē-erība is solely based on the assumption that this ruler should be identified with the king of the name who is mentioned in a kudurru that for paleographical reasons should be dated to approximately this time. No other inscriptions dating to his very short reign are extant and he does not even appear in a single Babylonian chronicle; therefore, also his relationships with his predecessor Adad-apla-iddina [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/ribo/babylon2/rulers/adadaplaiddina/index.html] and his successor Marduk-zēr?-x [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/ribo/babylon2/rulers/mardukzer/index.html] remain unclear.
