History
Saggarâtum (sa-ga-ra-tumki) was a city in the ancient Near East which is still unlocated though it is known to have been on the Habur River, a tributary of the Euphrates. In texts from Ebla it is called "Sag-garki". One proposal is that other readings of the name were "Sapiratum" or "Sapirete" though this is generally thought to be a different cities. Another suggestion is that by the 1st millennium BC it had become "Sangarite". Saggarâtum is also mentioned in the texts of Eshnunna ruler Ilūni.
