Ilshu-rabi ruled from Susa in Pashime

Ilshu-rabi, also Ilลกu-rabi (๐’€ญ๐’‹ข๐’Š๐’‰ˆ Il-shu-rabi) was a ruler of Pashime around 2250 BCE. He was a vassal of the Akkadian Empire ruler Manishtushu. [3]

While Ilshu-rabi was in charge of Pashime, another Governor of Manistushu named Eshpum was in charge of Elam, in the city of Susa. [4]

Stele of Ilshu-rabi

A relief of Ilshu-rabi is known, which was discovered in Tell Abu Sheeja, ancient Pashime. The inscription on the stele reads:

"For the God Shuda, Ilsu-rabi of Pashime, the soldier, brought in this statue. May the one who erases the name (on this inscription) not find an heir; may he not acquire a name (for himself)
