His name contains the god Nusku as a theophoric component.
The tone of the Babylonian letters to him is condescending to offensive, but the Babylonian king obviously cannot follow his words with deeds. A meeting with the king of Babylon (Itti-Marduk-bālatu?) On the city limits of Zaqqa was arranged through the exchange of envoys (Harbi-Šipak and Qunnutu), which did not take place.
