Saddītu
Saddītu was an Assyrian king's daughter. She appears in various cuneiform texts and was therefore the daughter of Sîn-aḫḫe-eriba (ruled 705 to 680 BC) and the sister of Asarhaddon . The documents that have been received show that in 672 Nabû-nadin-šumi was upset with the princess because Šumaya had performed a ritual for the princess without his knowledge. Saddītu seems to have had a high status at the royal court, as the ritual was performed by an important courtier from the royal environment. It is known from other sources that Šaddītu bought land.
