Five fragments of heptagonal clay prisms contain an Akkadian inscription recording the rebuilding of Babylon and Esagil, the temple of the god Marduk in Babylon, by Esarhaddon. The text is dated to Esarhaddon's accession year (šanat rēš šarrūti, MU.SAG.NAM.LUGAL.LA), which should refer to 681 BC, but from the events mentioned in this inscription it is clear that the prisms were inscribed much later, presumably no earlier than the last month of 674 (see Frame, Babylonia p. 67). This text is commonly referred to as Babylon (Prism) A (Bab. A).
