Aur-nerari II, inscribed ma-ur-ERIM.GABA (=DÁ?), "(the god) Aur is my help,"[1] was the king of Assyria, the 68th to appear on the Assyrian Kinglist, ca. 14241418 BC or 14141408 BC depending on a later uncertainty in the chronology, at the tail end of the Old Assyrian period. The small city state of Aur was a vassal state of the Mitanni empire at this time and still recovering from their sacking of the city under autatar.
Biography
He was the son of IIlil-na?ir II, who had preceded him on the Assyrian throne. According to the Khorsabad Kinglist[i 1] he reigned for seven years, the corresponding columns on the Nassouhi and SDAS Kinglists are damaged at this point.[2] A legal text[i 2] from Aur is dated to the Eponym of Ber-nadin-a??e, son of Aur-nerari, supreme judge and another[i 3] gives the witness ama-kidinnu, son of Ibai-ilu, son of Ber-nadin-a??e, supreme judge. The title and genealogy suggest Ber-nadin-a??e may have been an otherwise unattested successor to Aur-nerari.[3]
He was succeeded by his son, Aur-bel-nieu.
