He is known only from king lists, a brief mention in a chronicle and as a witness on a [[kudurru]] from his father, [[Nabû-mukin-apli]]'s reign.

==Biography==

He was first recorded as a witness to a title deed inscribed on a kudurru<ref group=i>Kudurru BM 90835, BBSt LXVII.</ref> after his (presumably) older brothers, Ninurta-kudurrῑ-uṣur, who was to become his immediate predecessor on the throne, and Rīmūt-ilī, the temple administrator.<ref name=brinkman/> The ''Eclectic Chronicle''<ref group=i>''[[Eclectic Chronicle]]'' (ABC 24), BM 27859: r 1.</ref> refers laconically to “the Nth year of Mār-bῑti-aḫḫē-idinna” but the context is lost.<ref>{{ cite book | title = Assyrian and Babylonian chronicles | author = A. K. Grayson | publisher = J. J. Augustin | year = 1975 | page = 224 }}</ref> The ''Synchronistic King List''<ref group=i>''Synchronistic King List'', Ass. 14616c, iii 11.</ref> records him as the third in a series of kings of Babylon who were contemporary with the [[Assyria]]n king, [[Tiglath-Pileser II|Tukultī-apil-Ešarra II]] (ca. 967–935 BC), the son of [[Ashur-resh-ishi II]] and this is quite plausible based on the chronology.

Mār-bῑti-aḫḫē-idinna’s reign may have ended considerably earlier than 920 BC but it was the accession of [[Adad-nirari II|Adad-nārārī I]] of Assyria around 912 BC that marks the resumption of records of their Babylonian counterparts, with his apparent successor [[Shamash-mudammiq|Šamaš-mudammiq]], no evidence of their filiation or of any intervening rulers being known.<ref>{{ cite book | title = The Cambridge Ancient History, Part 1, Volume III | chapter = Babylonia, c. 1000 – 748 BC | author = J.
