Conflict with Assyria
Nazi-MaruttaÅ¡ faced a growing threat from the ascendancy of Assyria under Arik-den-ili and his successor Adad-NÄ«rÄri I.Devecchi, Elena. "4. Of Kings, Princesses, and Messengers: Babyloniaâs International Relations during the 13th Century BC". Volume 1 KarduniaÅ¡. Babylonia under the Kassites 1, edited by Alexa Bartelmus and Katja Sternitzke, Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter, 2017, pp. 112-122 The containment of Assyria was conducted through a strategy of flank attacks supported by his agents, eastern hillmen such as the Gutians, in a protracted war, avoiding a full frontal assault. Under Arik-den-ili, he seems to have had the upper hand, because Adad-NÄ«rÄri, who styles himself "King of the Universe", later recountsIn the Epic of Adad-NÄrÄri, tablet VAT 9820 line 12: hi-ib-lat um-ma-ni MAN KUR ka.-.i-i a-bi ul ul-te-.èr. that "my father could not rectify the calamities inflicted by the army of the king of the Kassite land" in a contemporary Assyrian epic.He is mentioned in the Synchronistic ChronicleSynchronistic Chronicle (ABC 21) tablet C, column 1, lines 24 to 31. as having fought a battle with Adad-NÄ«rÄri's forces at "KÄr-IÅ¡tar of Ugarsallu". The Assyrians claimed a complete victory over the Babylonians in this battle, plundering their camp and seizing the royal standards, thereby acquiring territory from them and causing the Assyro-Babylonian boundary to be adjusted southward. The conflict is fondly remembered in the Tukulti-Ninurta Epic,Tukulti-Ninurta Epic, extant in fragments BM 98496, BM 98730, BM 98731, BM 121033. in its recounting of past Assyro-Babylonian conflicts, where he says, "And like Adad – I will send a devastating flood upon your camp!" column 4, line 34.Other conflicts
There is evidence of a successful attack on Elam, because textsRation lists Ni 6932 Šagarakti-Šuriaš year 9 and Ni 7050 Kaštiliašu IV accession year. of this period concerning ration lists and foreign prisoners of war mention Nazi-Maruttaš in sections concerning the Elamites. A historical letterTablet CBS 11014. details his campaign in Mat Namri, a Hurrian region, and possibly his conquest of its twelve cities.A fragment of a tabletK 11536 published in MSKH I as U.2.26, p. 282. relates that "Marduk ca[used] all the lands [to bow down] at his feet". A treasury listCBS 14180. catalogues more than 125 precious artifacts and their move from Dūr-Kurigalzu and Nippur to Ardi-Bêlit during his 5th year, possibly for safe keeping.Building works
(File:Kudurru of Nazi-Maruttash.jpg|thumb|160px|Kudurru of Nazi-MaruttašKudurru Sb. 21, a later stone copy of clay original.)He is known to have made at least three Kudurru boundary stones, although the one picturedKudurru Sb. 21, a later stone copy of clay original. is a later stone copy made during the reign of Marduk-apla-iddina I to replace the clay original (narū ša haṣbi) which was crushed by a falling temple wall.A shrine to Gula was uncovered in 1946 in an eroded building with a pavement of much damaged kiln-baked bricks, some inscribed for Nazi-Maruttaš. This was located in the palace area at the Kassite capital, Dūr-Kurigalzu.Clayden, Tim. "16. Dūr-Kurigalzu: New Perspectives". Volume 2 Karduniaš. Babylonia under the Kassites 2, edited by Alexa Bartelmus and Katja Sternitzke, Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter, 2017, pp. 437-478 Work was also undertaken at Nippur, and excavations have yielded various tablets. He was also active in building as far south as Uruk, the cella of the Eḫiliana of Nanâ, as attested to by a later inscription by Esarhaddon.Esarhaddon inscription YBC 2146. Other cities formerly abandoned such as Larsa, Ur, Adab, and Isin show evidence of revival in his reign.Clayden, Tim. "Ur in the Kassite Period". Babylonia under the Sealand and Kassite Dynasties, edited by Susanne Paulus and Tim Clayden, Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter, 2020, pp. 88-124There are nearly 400 economic texts dated to years up to the twenty fourth of his reign, detailing things as mundane as the receipt of barley and malt, BM 17729. the issuing of grain, BM 13278. goats, hides, sheep and oil. A tablet found in Tell Kirbasi, on the south side of the central Hor al-Hammar 30 km west of Basra, lists 47 head of cattle in the sixteenth year of Nazi-Maruttaš, showing the extent of trade.The Hemerology for Nazi-Maruttaš
A single standard hemerology, or uttuku, was collated during his time. A 'hemerology' was a sort of almanac stating which days of each month were favorable, unfavorable, or dangerous for activities of interest to the king, such as those propitious for begetting children, or setting taxes. It was typically used by scribes, temple administrators, priests, cultic singers and exorcists and provided detailed instructions for "auspicious days".The colophon of the work reads, "Auspicious days according to the seven a[pkallÄ«?] originals from Sippar, Nippur, Babylon, Ur, Larsa, Uruk and Eridu.Enrique Jiménez. âLoose Threads of Tradition: Two Late Hemerological Compilations.â Journal of Cuneiform Studies, vol. 68, 2016, pp. 197â227 The scholars excerpted, selected, and gave to Nazi-MaruttaÅ¡, king of the world." Five extant examplesKAR 147, KAR 177 (=VAT 9663), etc. have been found, including a bilingual copy in Dur-Kurigalzu, another found in the house of LÃ.NAR.GAL "cultic singers" in AÅ¡Å¡ur and a third in the house of Kiá¹£ir-AÅ¡Å¡ur, exorcist of the temple of AÅ¡Å¡ur during the reign of AÅ¡Å¡urbanipal.Lambert has argued that Ludlul bÄl nÄmeqi was composed during his reign based upon the identification of the protagonist Å ubÅ¡i-maÅ¡râ-Å akkan with that of a character in a fragment of an epic of the Kassite times,K 9952 W G Lambert BWL pl. 12 pp 296f., BM 35322, Sp. II,893. and to the governor, or lúgar kur, of Ur during his 16th regnal year. Nazi-MaruttaÅ¡â name appears on the reverse of a literary text fragment known as KAR 116KAR 116, tablet VAT 11245 r. 10. which Lambert identified as belonging to this work.The prominent physician, or asû, from Nippur, Rabâ-Å¡a-Marduk, began his lengthy, well-attested career during Nazi-MaruttaÅ¡â reign.See also
