Historia
Kisurra was an ancient Near East city situated on the west bank of the Euphrates, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north of ancient Shuruppak and due east of ancient Kish. For most of its history it was subsidiary to the major nearby power centers of Uruk, Isin, and Larsa. The deities Inanna of Zabalam, Ningishzida, Ningal, Ninisina, and Annunitum were all worshiped at Kisurra, reflecting this influence. An obscure god Gal-ga-eri is mentioned in a tablet as coming from Kisurra. The ancient name of the site was determined in 1902 based on an inscribed brick translation by Friedrich Delitzsch. The brick read "Itur-Samas, chief of the Rabbeans, son of Iddin-Ilum, governor of Kisurra beloved of the god Samas and the goddess Annunitum".
