Ilshu-rabi, also Ilšu-rabi (𒀭𒋢𒊏𒉈 Il-shu-rabi) was a ruler of Pashime around 2250 BCE. He was a vassal of the Akkadian Empire ruler Manishtushu.[3]

Stele of Ilshu-rabi

[edit]

A relief of Ilshu-rabi is known, which was discovered in Tell Abu Sheeja, ancient Pashime. The inscription on the stele reads:

"For the God Shuda, Ilsu-rabi of Pashime, the soldier, brought in this statue. May the one who erases the name (on this inscription) not find an heir; may he not acquire a name (for himself)

— Inscription on the stele of Ilšu-rabi.[1][5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
