Biography
[edit]TheAssyrian King Listprovides a sequence of five kings with short reigns purported to be father-son successions, leading Landsberger to suggest thatLibaya,Sharma-Adad Iand Iptar-Sin may have been brothers ofBelu-banirather than his descendants. The list reports Iptar-Sin as the son of Sharma-Adad I. He is omitted from the list on another fragment.[i 2][2]He is called LIK.KUD-Šamašon theSynchronistic King List[i 3]which gives his Babylonian counterpart asmDIŠ+U-EN (reading unknown), an unidentified person inserted between the reigns of Gulkišar and his son Pešgaldarameš of theSealand Dynasty.
He was succeeded by Bazaya, son of Belu-bani.
