from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cassin assumes that he, like his successor Tiptakzi , was a brother (ŠEŠ) of Urzigurumaš and regent of his son Agum-kakrime .

reading

The exact reading of his name is unclear, Ḫarba-šeš was also possible. Boese wants to read the name after finds from Tell Muhammad (layers II and III), however, as Ḫurbazum , that of his successor as Šiptaʾulzi.
