1001 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/rinap/rinap3/Q004057/]

A stone stele found at Aşaği Yarimca (near Ḫarrān) is engraved with a depiction of a disk and a cone on a pole and with a badly eroded inscription written in Neo-Assyrian script. C.J. Gadd attempted a decipherment of the text with the aid of a photo and paper squeezes, but he could read very few signs. In the first line, he thought that he could discern: d30-x.MEŠ-SU?, that is, the name of Sennacherib. However, the reading is not certain and thus this inscription is included here as a 1000-number. Too little is preserved to warrant an edition.

1002 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/rinap/rinap3/Q004058/]

A stone jar fragment, probably from Nineveh, preserves part of a short proprietary inscription mentioning Sennacherib. Because little of the text is extant, the attribution of the stone vessel is uncertain; it is not known if this jar belonged to Sennacherib or to some other late Neo-Assyrian king, such as Ashurbanipal (Searight, Assyrian Stone Vessels p. 25 no. 81). The vessel was made of calcite/dolomite and had banding cut vertically on it. Only part of the body is preserved.

1003 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/rinap/rinap3/Q004059/]

A stone jar fragment that was probably discovered at Nineveh bears part of a short proprietary inscription that mentions Sennacherib and, therefore, it should be attributed either to him or to one of his descendents. The vessel was made of calcite/dolomite, with banding cut horizontally. The inscription is included here arbitrarily since its attribution to Sennacherib is not certain.

1004 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/rinap/rinap3/Q004060/]

A stone jar fragment, possibly from the South-West Palace at Nineveh, bears an inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king, possibly Sennacherib. The vessel, of which only part of the body remains, was made of calcite/dolomite, with banding cut at an angle.

1005 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/rinap/rinap3/Q004061/]

A stone jar fragment in the British Museum preserves parts of two lines of an inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king. Because little of the text is extant, the attribution of the stone vessel is uncertain and thus it is not known if this jar belonged to Sennacherib or one of the other late Neo-Assyrian kings. The jar was made of calcite/dolomite, with banding cut horizontally. Although the piece is registered as coming from Sherif Khan, it is more likely to have come from Nineveh.

1006 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/rinap/rinap3/Q004062/]

A double-rim stone bowl fragment, probably from Nineveh, has written on it a short inscription that may be a duplicate of text no. 133 or text no. 134. The vessel was made of a mottled black and white diorite; only part of the rim, body, and flat base are preserved. Because the attribution to Sennacherib is not certain, the inscription is included here as a 1000-number.

A double-rim stone bowl fragment that may come from the South-West Palace at Nineveh preserves part of a short inscription belonging either to Sennacherib or to one of his descendents. The vessel, of which only part of the rim and body remain, was made of brown siltstone. The inscription is included here as a 1000-number because the attribution to Sennacherib is not certain.

BM 139629, a stone bowl fragment, probably from Nineveh, preserves part of a one-line inscription belonging to a late Neo-Assyrian king, possibly Sennacherib. The vessel was made of a mottled black and white diorite; only part of the rim and body are preserved.

A stone bowl fragment from Kalḫu (probably from Fort Shalmaneser) has a short proprietary inscription of Sennacherib or one of his descendents incised on it. The vessel, of which only part of the rim and body remain, was made of a mottled black and white diorite.

A rock crystal mortar fragment that was likely discovered at Nineveh has part of a one-line proprietary inscription mentioning Sennacherib. Because little of the text is extant, the attribution of the stone vessel is not certain and, therefore, it is not known if this jar belonged to Sennacherib or one of the other late Neo-Assyrian kings. The fragment preserves part of the rim, body, and base of what was probably an ovoid vessel.

1011 [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/rinap/rinap3/Q004067/]

A cylinder-shaped stone bead, probably from Nineveh, is inscribed with an inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king. H. Galter has tentatively suggested that this object is inscribed with a text of Sennacherib, principally because there are a number of extant cylinder-shaped beads bearing inscriptions of this king (see text nos. 102–131). The attribution, however, is uncertain since only two signs of the final line are preserved.

An inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king is found on a cylinder-shaped stone bead that may have been found at Nineveh. Because a number of cylinder-shaped beads with inscriptions of Sennacherib are attested (see text nos. 102–131), H. Galter has tentatively suggested that this object is inscribed with a text of that ruler. The attribution is nevertheless uncertain since only two signs are preserved.

A cylinder-shaped stone bead in the British Museum that is probably from Nineveh is inscribed with an inscription of a late Neo-Assyrian king. H. Galter has tentatively suggested that this object is inscribed with a text of Sennacherib; this proposal is based on the fact that numerous beads bear inscriptions of his (see text nos. 102–131). The attribution is uncertain since only a small portion of one sign is preserved. Moreover, no edition is warranted.
