His brief three-year reign was marked by distressed times and famine so severe that it caused the suspension of the regular food and drink offerings at the Ebabbar, or ''white house'', temple of [[Shamash|Šamaš]] in [[Sippar]].<ref>{{ cite book | title = Babylonian boundary-stones and memorial tablets in the British Museum | author = L.

==Biography==

The [[Kassites|Kassite]] derived [[theophoric]] element (dKaššû = “the Kassite (god)”) in his name is the only, rather tenuous, reference to the earlier dynasty,<ref>{{ cite book | title = Reallexikon der Assyriologie und Vorderasiatischen Archäologie: Meek - Mythologie | author = Bruno Meissner | editor = Dietz Otto Edzard | publisher = Walter De Gruyter | year = 1999 | page = 8 }}</ref> and may not be indicative of any actual affiliation so much as emulation of their longevity and presumed legitimacy. He was the son of a certain SAPpaia, who is otherwise unknown.<ref group=i name=dynastic>''Dynastic Chronicle'' (ABC 18), v 7.</ref> The ''Synchronistic King List''<ref group=i>''Synchronistic King List'' iii 4 and ''Synchronistic KL Fragment'' (KAV 182 iii 1 (restored)).</ref> records his [[Assyria]]n contemporary as [[Ashurnasirpal I|Aššur-nāsir-apli]], c. 1050 to 1031 BC, but this is unlikely. The period of his reign falls midway through that of [[Ashur-rabi II|Aššur-rabi II]], c. 1013–972 BC.

Although the ''[[Dynastic Chronicle]]'' records he was interred in a palace, its name is not preserved.<ref group=i name=dynastic/> There are currently no other inscriptions extant attesting to his rule,<ref>{{ cite book | title = Assyrian and Babylonian chronicles | author = A.
