In addition, Gabbay (2014b: 255–7) lists the names of several kalûs in the colophons of Babylonian manuscripts of lamentation literature found in Nineveh, perhaps taken as booty in Ashurbanipal's campaigns. These include the property of eminent Šumu-libši, Iddin-Papsukkal and Sin-leqe-unninni families (see Tables B5, B6, B7 and B12).
