Ašarēd-apil-Ekur, inscribed ma-šá-rid-A-É.KUR[i 1] or mSAG.KAL-DUMU.UŠ-É.KUR[i 2] and variants,[i 3] meaning “the heir of the Ekur is foremost,” was the son and successor of Tukultī-apil-Ešarra I as king of Assyria, reigning for just two years, 1076/5–1074 BC, during the turmoil that engulfed the end of that lengthy reign, and he was the 88th king to appear on the Assyrian King List. His reign marked the elevation of the office of ummânu, “royal scribe,” and he was the first to have this recorded next to the king’s name on the Synchronistic King List,[i 4] possibly identifying the contemporary redactor of this list.[1]
