This minor town in the vicinity of Uruk has left one archive of a family of businessmen that stretches from the middle of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar to the second year of Cambyses: the archive of the sons of Itti‐Šamaš‐balāṭu (Jursa 2005b: pp. 108–109). The archive is interesting for the continuity of business and also of tax and service obligations that are not visibly affected by the conquest of Babylonia by the Persians. There is some dispersed Late Achaemenid material (Stolper 1990) and one small dossier that extends from the end of the Achaemenid period to the early Hellenistic era (Jursa 2005b: pp. 109–110; more texts have been located in a private collection and will be published in the near future).
