Sulili (

early period. He also appears within the Assyrian King List as the first out of the six kings “(whose names were written on?) bricks whose eponyms are (not known?)". Additionally, it is stated within the Assyrian King List that he was the successor of and “son of Aminu". Aminu had himself been the son of and successor of Ila-kabkabu, and Aminu and Ila-kabkabu were among the ten kings “who are ancestors".[1]

The section within the Assyrian King List “kings who are ancestors/whose fathers are known”

Cambridge Ancient History rejected this interpretation and instead interpreted the section as the ancestors of Sulili.[3] Sulili is also shown as being the predecessor of Kikkia
within the Assyrian King List.

A man by the name "Silulu" is attested as an early ruler of Assur by contemporary seals. He is perhaps possible to identify with the otherwise unattested Sulili, but the inscription identifies Silulu's father as Dakiki, "herald of the city of Ashur", which does not fit with the genealogy of the Assyrian King List.[4]
