733 The anonymity of the godnapped deities may be typical of Early Neo-Assyrian royal inscriptions. Later, the deities (e.g. Marduk) are often named (see e.g. Leichty 2011: text 114). 734 Regarding destruction of foreign cult images, see Borger 1996: A v 119-20, and Luckenbill 1924: 83: 48.

743 The imperialism was religious in the sense that it was justified by referring to divine commands for border extending and to the world dominion of the Mesopotamian deities, not in the sense that it aimed at eradicating all other cults and impose Assyrian ones. 744 Frahm 2011b: 272-85. 745 Spieckermann 1982, Parpola 1993. 746 Cogan 1974: 22-41. 747 Holloway 2001: 338-425. 748 Adad of Aleppo and Zaban, Amurru, Armada, Sheru, and Hallasua.
