 There are only two extant inscriptions, one of which is stamped on bricks in 13 lines of Sumerian from the cities of Nippur, Isin, Uruk and Išān Ḥāfudh, a small site southeast of Tell Drehem, which gives his standard inscription describing him as an “"Išippum" priest with clean hands for Eridu, favorite "en" priest of Uruk” and there is a copy of an inscription relating to the erection of a statue of the king with a votive goat.He was contemporary with Gungunum, c. 1868 – 1841 BCE (short), and his successor Abī-sarē, c. 1841 – 1830 BCE (short), the resurgent kings of Larsa.His reign marks the beginning of a decline in Isin's fortunes coinciding with a rise in those of Larsa.
