Inshushinak-shar-ili, or -ilani (Elamite: Inshushinak-sunkir-nappipir), was an Elamite king circa 1400 BCE. He belonged to the loose periodization of kings called the Kidinuid dynasty, during the early Middle Elamite Period.[1][2]
Attestations
[edit]Inshushinak-shar-ili is attested by inscriptions on about two dozen bricks from the ancient Elamite capital of Susa, which detail that Inshushinak-shar-ili restored buildings at the Inshushinak Temple in that very city, which were built by a former sukkalmah, named Temti-Halki.[2]
This king is also attested by the seal of an official named Adad-erish, head of the squires, who calls himself "Adad-erish servant of Inshushinak-shar-ilani, king of Susa, servant of Adad."[3]
