In the Old Babylonian period, Šamaš-ḫāzir, married to Zinû[individual=Zinû], is known to have been a šassukkum-dignitary, “head of the land registry”, responsible for the royal estate for King Ḫammurāpi from the time of his conquest of the Larsa[geogr=Larsa] and the Yamutbalum[geogr=Yamutbalum] region in 1763 BCE.  His correspondence and archives have recently been studied by Fiette 2018a. Some of these texts are of particular interest to us because they deal with sesame; see Šamaš-ḫāzir.
