Dekiere (NABU 19911110) it is impossible to equate Sippar-rabum with Sippar-Amnanum on the basis of texts BM 96956 (and its partial duplicate BM 96980) and BM 96990, as suggested in NABU 1991/82. In his view the house in Sippar-Amnanum (BM 96956 :5) and the one in Sippar-rabum (BM 96990 :5), both part of the inheritance of Iliismeanni' s children, are two different houses.

Charpin's proposal to equate Sippar-Amnanum with Sippar rabum (RA 82, 1988, p. 23) is supported by the unpublished text BM 96990, lines 5, 13 and 21. This tablet belongs to a group of texts recording the division of the inheritance of Ili-ismeanni between his children Abi-ai-amsi, Ilsu-bani, Lamassani and their mother Marat-Amma (cf. K.R. Veenhof, Melanges Finet, Akkadica VI, 1989, p. 182 sub 1). On the 25th day of the month Abu in the year Abi-esuij. 5, Ili-ismeanni's sons Abi-ai-amsi and Ilsu-bani both inherit among other things a built-up plot of 1 SAR in Sippar-Amnanum (BM 96956, 5, 17 and BM 96980, 5). About 55 years later, in Ammiditana 32, the balances of the paternal estate are drawn up again in BM 96990 (DUB ijA.LA.MES DUMU.MES Ili-ismeanni). Lamassani, her brother Aij.i-ai-amsi and the two brothers lddin-Amurrum and Awil-Stn (sons of Ilsu-bani ?) now all possess one third of a built-up plot of in total 3 SAR and 9 GIN in UD.KIB.NUNki GAL. Since in all three texts one of the neighbours of the plot is said to be lli-eribam ZADIM, the topographical equation of Sippar-Amnanum and Sippar rabum seems sound enough. BM 96990 also shows that the name Sippar rabum was still in use in Ammiditana 32 (ad Charpin, l.c., n. 45).

Groneberg, RGTC 3, 1980, "Die Orts-und Gewassernamen der altbabylonischen Zeit", records the two following geographical names: on p. 92 URUIJar-matum (sa) URUKisKI ( YOS 12:56, column 7, lines 52 and 65) and on p. 202 URuKI Sar-ba-tum (ibid., line 50) and URUSar-ba-tum (ibid., lines 52 and 65-again!?-). The geographical names index of YOS 12 has ljarmatum for all these lines (p. 69). D. Charpin in his review of YOS 12 reads in lines 52 (25 is to be corrected) and 65 URUIJarmatum sa URUKisKI and in lines 50 and again 65 Sarbatum (Bi.Or. 38, 1981, pp. 527/528). Sarbatum is associated by both mentioned authors with the place name occurring in the year name Sin-muballit 1 (cf. Stol, Studies, 1976, p. 28, n. 9). The context of YOS 12:56, however (column 7 being a list of nukarribu) suggests a personal name rather than a geographical name and in fact the PN Eri 4 -sum-ma-tum is to be read in these three lines. This is confirmed by the more or less parallel text Holma, ZATH, no. 5, lines 17, 18 and 23. The conclusion therefore has to be that no geographical name ljarmatum exists in this period and that a place name zA-ar-ba-atKI (sic) is only attested in texts from Mari and Rimah (cf. RGTC 3, 1980, p. 202). NB.-The geographical name in the year name Sin-muballit 1 is ~ar-ba-tum (with a ~iide!). Els WOESTENBURG (Leiden, October 1986)
