Ili-ishmani ruled from Susa in Elam

Ili-ishmani (𒉌𒉌𒅖𒈠𒉌 i3-li2-isz-ma-ni) was a ruler of Elam around 2200 BCE. His name is purely Akkadian, and he was in charge of Elam at the time of Naram-Sin and/or Shar-Kali-Sharri, and probably their vassal.[3][4] His title of "Military Governor" (Shakkanakku in Akkadian, GIR.NITAinSumerian) suggests that he was a dependent of the Akkadian kings, rather than an independent ruler.[5] Ili-ishmani rose from the position of scribe, already one of the top three positions in the land, to the position of Governor.[6]

His predecessor was probably Epirmupi.[7] After him, and the weakening of the Akkadian Empire, rule in Elam probably reverted to local rulers of the Awan Dynasty.[8]

Axe fragment

[edit]

The fragment of an axe is known, which was dedicated by Ili-ishmani.[9][10] It reads:

"Ili-išmani, / scribe, / military governor (shakkanakku) / of the land / of Elam."

— Inscription of Ili-ishmani. Louvre Museum Sb 14243.[11][12][13]

Seal inscription

[edit]

A seal found in Lagash also has the inscription "Ili-ishmani Governor (Ensi) of Susa" (𒉌𒉌𒅖𒈠𒉌 𒑐𒋼𒋛 𒈹𒂞𒆠 Ili-ishmani ensi Shushanki).[14]
