Four royal inscriptions are extant including cones celebrating the building of the wall of Isin, naming him as "Damiq-ilišu is the favorite of the god Ninurta" also recollected in a year-name and "suitable for the office of en priest befitting the goddess Inanna." Construction of a storehouse e-me-sikil, "house with pure mes (rites?)", for the god Mardu, son of the god An. A cone records the construction of a temple, the é-ki-tuš-bi-du10, "House – its residence is good," possibly for the deity Nergal of Uṣarpara.
