Sumerian stone building inscription dedicated by the wife of king Rim-Sin in the temple of the goddess Ninegal at Larsa. Unfortunately the same portion is broken as on the tablet published by Winckler. In Obv. 1.13, however, the name of the queen is completely preserved It is Si-ma-at-inanna. The line before that runs nin-a-ni-ir (broken on the tablet of Winckler). Accordingly, this duplicate gives us the complete name of the queen, which will be of some importance to the historian. The stone tablet is inscribed with a Sumerian inscription of the wife of Rim-Sin, the last king of the Dynasty of Larsa (1822-1763 BC). In the publication by D.R. Frayne, 2 other stone tablets and 2 metal tablets inscribed with the same text are given. None of the objects with this inscription have a known provenance. The text concerns the building a temple for the goddess Ninegal by Simat-Ishtar, wife of Rim-Sin, king of Larsa. The stone and metal tablets were probably once placed in the walls of this temple in the city Larsa (Modern Sinkara). Translation: “[For the goddess Ninegal, great lady, who holds all the divine powers in her hand, who looks at the numerous people, supreme adviser who looks after the black-headed people, whose ways are not rivalled, aristocrat, whose words excels in the assembly, whose name is noble (enough) for praise, reliable goddess from (her) father who engendered her, whose utterance is favourable,] great daughter of the god Sin, her lady, Simat-Ishtar, beloved spouse of Rim-Sin, king of Larsa, daughter of Warad-Nanna –when the goddess Ninegal, her lady, called her good name – built (the temple) Eaagakiliburur, the residence suitable for her divinity, to establish the life of Rim-Sin forever and for her own life. She enlarged its Eshusiga more than it had been previously. She placed there for the future her foundation inscription proclaiming her queenly name.”
