Iptar-Sin
# Iptar-Sin

Iptar-Sin or IB.TAR.Sîn (reading uncertain), was the 51st Assyrian king according to the Assyrian King List. He reigned for 12 years some time during the 17th century BC.

## Biography

The Assyrian King List provides a sequence of five kings with short reigns purported to be father-son successions, leading Landsberger to suggest that Libaya, Sharma-Adad I and Iptar-Sin may have been brothers of Belu-bani rather than his descendants. The list reports Iptar-Sin as the son of Sharma-Adad I. He is omitted from the list on another fragment. He is called LIK.KUD-Šamaš on the Synchronistic King List which gives his Babylonian counterpart as $^mDIŠ+U-EN$ (reading unknown), an unidentified person inserted between the reigns of Gulkišar and his son Pešgaldarameš of the Sealand Dynasty.

He was succeeded by Bazaya, son of Belu-bani.
