The temple may be mentioned in a decree of the Assyrian king Adad-nārārī III. Several inscriptions of the 7th century king Sennacherib mention its tower in relation to the old South-West Palace, the one that had existed prior to his reign. Those Akkadian texts seem to imply that it was located near the Citadel Gate. Sennacherib's grandson Ashurbanipal restored the cult and cult statue of Šarrat-Kidmuri, presumably the one in Nineveh.
