Iptar-Sin or IB.TAR.Sîn[mIB.TAR-d30.] (reading uncertain), was the 51st king according to the Assyrian King List.[ Ḫorsābād King List ii 18.] He reigned for 12 years some time during the 17th century BC.
Succession line and contemporaries
The
Assyrian King List provides a sequence of five kings with short reigns purported to be father-son successions, leading Landsberger to suggest that
Libaya,
Sharma-Adad I and Iptar-Sin may have been brothers of
Belu-bani rather than his descendants. The list reports Iptar-Sin as the son of Sharma-Adad I. He is omitted from the list on another fragment.
[KAV 14.] He is called LIK.KUD
-Šamaš on the
Synchronistic King List[ Synchronistic King List A.117, Assur 14616c, i 5.] which gives his Babylonian counterpart as
mDIŠ+U-EN (reading unknown), an unidentified person inserted between the reigns of Gulkišar and his son Pešgaldarameš of the
Sealand Dynasty.
He was succeeded by Bazaya, son of Belu-bani.
