page 843 note 1 In all probability the earliest inscription of any length referring to the district is that published in Cuneiform Inscriptions from Babylonian Tablets, pt. iv, pls. 1 and 2. This text, which may be as old as 2000 years b.c., or as late as the fifteenth century b.c., speaks of a revolt raised by Zimri-êdda (surely not one of the two personages of that name mentioned in inscriptions found at Tel-el Amarna?), seemingly in some place dependent on Babylon, “when Sin-ikîšam, the Suḫite envoy, dwelt in the Suḫite fortress,” and mention is made of certain people who had returned from Maer. The West Semitic names in this text are of some interest.
