His unique name, meaning “Protect the possession of the king!”, suggests a function-specific identity, likely adopted when entering royal service as a eunuch. Beginning as a palace supply officer, he rose steadily to hold key administrative posts, including steward, representative, and governor of Kār-Tukultī-Ninurta, the new Assyrian capital. He oversaw construction, logistics, workforce management, and agricultural development. His career reflects the significant role eunuchs played in the efficient bureaucracy of Middle Assyrian rule.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/book parthttps://www.edicions.ub.edu/ficha.aspx?cod=13833open access94(100)".../05"Uṣur-namkūr-šarriTukultī-Ninurta IEunuchKār-Tukultī-NinurtaAssyrian administrationHistoria antigua5504.01 Historia Antigua
