Paḫir-Iššan

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paḫir-Iššan (Pachir-Ishshan; Babylonian I Pi-ḫi-ra-nu - d U) was an Elamite king whose reign around 1374 BC. Is set. However, the exact dating is uncertain and depends heavily on the dating of Babylonian kings.

In a building inscription by Untaš-Napiriša from Susa , Paḫir-Iššan is referred to as the son of Igi-ḫalki .

Paḫir-Iššan did not leave any of its own inscriptions or monuments. From a building inscription by Šilḫak-in-Šušinak it can be concluded that he built the Inšušinak temple in Susa. Another source reported that he and a relative of the Kassite king Kurigalzu I was married.
