Sin-Iddinam (๐ญ๐๐ช๐ฟ๐ท๐พ๐ , dsuen-i-din-nam; died c. 1843 BC) ruled the ancient Near East city-state of Larsa from c. 1849-1843 BC (MC). He was the son of Nur-Adad, with whom there may have been a short co-regency overlap.[1][2][3]
The annals for his 7-year reign record that he campaigned against Babylon in year 4, Ibrat and Malgium in year 5, and Eshnunna in year 6.
Sin-Iddinam is also known for a prayer to God Utu, whom he describes as "Father of the black-headed ones".[4]
