Puzur-Ashur II

Puzur-Ashur II (also transcribed as Puzur-Aššur II) was the king (Išši’ak Aššur, "Steward of Assur") of the Old Assyrian Empire for eight years between 1865 BC and 1857 BC. Puzur-Ashur II had been both the son and successor of Sargon I. Due to Sargon I's long reign, Puzur-Ashur II came to the throne at a late age since one of his sons, named Ili-bani, was a witness in a contract (and so already a grown man) eleven years before Puzur-Ashur II became ruler. Puzur-Ashur II was succeeded by his son Naram-Sin. The following is a list of the nine annually-elected "limmu" ("eponym") officials from the year of accession of Puzur-Ashur II, the "waklum" ("overseer"), in the limmu of Ashur-iddin (son of Shuli) to Puzur-Ashur II's death in the limmu of Inaya (son of Amuraya.)^[1] BC dates are based on a date of 1833 BC for the recorded solar eclipse in the limmu of Puzur-Ištar:^[2]
