The literal translation of the Akkadian name for the
marshy region at the head of the Gulf and the Babylonian name of the
province. In their very few inscriptions, the rulers called
themselves "Kings of the Sealand". There is almost nothing known
about this Dynasty. We have a Kings List, but no dates and even some
of the lengths of the reigns are open to question. The dates below
are a guess.

In the region of the Persian Gulf,
south of Babylonia, ruled a dynasty partly contemporaneously with
the First Dynasty, extending over the reigns of about five of the
last kings, and over several of the Cassite Dynasty, known as the
Sealand Dynasty. The historian records for the latter the following
list of 11 kings who ruled 368 years and ended when it was defeated
by King Ulamburiash of Babylon.
