Three fragments of a clay bowl with a brief inscription in the Oriental Institute (Chicago) were found at Khorsabad. It is possible that these fragments are to be identified with Loud and Altman, Khorsabad 2 p. 105 no. 33, which Oriental Institute records indicate was found outside the northwest wall of the Nabû temple in March 1934 and which bears the field register number DŠ 101. Although the text does not mention Sargon, since it was found at Khorsabad and since Sargon did use the titles "strong king, king of the world," it has been assigned to him here.

An eye-stone that likely comes from Khorsabad has a short dedicatory inscription of Sargon to the goddess Ningal.

The eye-stone was acquired by V. Place, and thus may well come from his work at Khorsabad, although this cannot be considered certain. The piece is made of banded agate and is white, with a pink pupil. The eye-stone was originally mounted on a disk of blue glass which measured 3.3×3.2 cm and from which it has now become detached.
H. Winckler erroneously refers to the piece as being a "Siegelabdruck" (Sar. 1 p. 196). The copies published by Place and Winckler (the latter being based on the former) omit the ana of line 1 and all of line 4. Examination of the original in the Louvre shows that ana and line 4 are faint and written on the white outer part of the eye, in contrast to the rest of the inscription that is written on the pupil.
A bronze macehead found at Khorsabad has two one-line inscriptions on it, one ascribing the object to the palace of Sargon — "Palace of Sargon, king of the world, king of Assyria" — and the other stating that it belonged to Sîn-aḫu-uṣur — "(Property) of Sîn-aḫu-uṣur, the grand vizier." Although the former inscription could have been edited here, it has been decided to present the two together at text no. 2003.
