He is known only from king lists, a brief mention in a chronicle and as a witness on a kudurru from his father, Nabû-mukin-apli's reign. Biography He was first recorded as a witness to a title deed inscribed on a kudurruKudurru BM 90835, BBSt 9. after his (presumably) older brothers, Ninurta-kudurrῑ-uṣur, who was to become his immediate predecessor on the throne, and Rīmūt-ilī, the temple administrator. The Eclectic ChronicleEclectic Chronicle (ABC 24), BM 27859: r 1. refers laconically to “the Nth year of Mār-bῑti-aḫḫē-idinna” but the context is lost. The Synchronistic King ListSynchronistic King List, Ass. 14616c, iii 11. records him as the third in a series of kings of Babylon who were contemporary with the Assyrian king, Tukultī-apil-Ešarra II (ca. 967–935 BC), the son of Ashur-resh-ishi II and this is quite plausible based on the chronology. Mār-bῑti-aḫḫē-idinna’s reign may have ended considerably earlier than 920 BC but it was the accession of Adad-nārārī I of Assyria around 912 BC that marks the resumption of records of their Babylonian counterparts, with his apparent successor Šamaš-mudammiq, no evidence of their filiation or of any intervening rulers being known.

"The Zuruahã (also Suruahá, Indios do Coxodoá, and Suruwahá) are an indigenous people of Brazil, living along the Purus River in the state of Amazonas. History The Zuruahã are an amalgamation of other tribes fleeing disease and violence, especially from the rubber boom. Some of the original Zuruahã traded with the rubber tappers but the tribe contracted influenza, resulting in a high death rate, from 1922 to 1924. The survivors withdrew away from non- native settlements. They enjoyed relative isolation from non-natives until the 1970s when missionaries and latex extractors entered their traditional territory. Daniel Everett reports that after first contact with the outside world, some Zuruahá, including eight in a day, have begun to commit suicide by drinking curare. Pressures on their territories results in increased suicide by the Zuruahã. Sustained contact began in 1980. They are hunter-gatherers. In 1984, the Zuruahã Project was created to mitigate the adverse effects of outside contact on the Zuruahã people. In 2018 they were contacted to receive dental prostheses, a key element for their survival. Language Zuruahã people speak the Zuruahã language, an Arawá language.
