205:1 In W. A. I. i. 35. 3. 24–26, we must read Bel-kapkapi sarru pani alik makhri qudmu sarruti sa ana tsulili-sa ultu ullâ Assur ibbû ’simasu, "Bel-kapkapu a former king who went before me, the founder of the monarchy, for whose protection Assur had from remote times proclaimed his destiny." There is no mention of a king Tsulili.
206:1 According to the "Synchronistic Tablet" Buzur-Assur was a contemporary of Burna-buryas of Babylonia, and since two of the royal correspondents of Amenophis IV Khu-en-Aten of Egypt, as we learn from the newly-discovered cuneiform tablets of Tel el-Amarna, were Assur-yuballidh of Assyria and Burna-buryas of Babylonia, it is probable that Assur-yuballidh was the successor of Buzur-Assur. According to the "Synchronistic Tablet" Assur-yuballidh's daughter Muballidhat-Serûa was the mother of Kara-Urus, king of Babylonia, who was murdered and succeeded by an usurper Nazi-bugas. Nazi-bugas himself had to make way for Kur-galzu "the younger," the son of Burna-buryas.
206:2 A seal belonging to Tiglath-Uras was carried to Babylon B.C. 1290 and recovered by Sennacherib 600 years later. Unfortunately we do not know whether the seal was carried away during the lifetime of Tiglath-Uras or after his death. In any case his date must be earlier than B.C. 1290.
207:1 These two kings were contemporaries of the Babylonian king Rimmon-suma-natsir, for whom cf. Records of the Past, new Ser., i. p. 16, no. 24.
207:2 A contemporary of the Babylonian king Zamama-nadin-sumi, Records, new Ser., i. p. 16, no. 27.
207:3 A contemporary of the Babylonian king Nebo-kudurra-utsur.
207:4 Defeated by Merodach-nadin-akhi. of Babylonia in B.C. 1106 according to Sennacherib; see Records, new Ser., i. p. 87.
208:1 He was still reigning over Babylonia in his 4th year.
