A large number of bricks found in a temple dedicated to the god Nergal at Tell Haddad (ancient Mê-Turnat) are inscribed with an Akkadian text of Ashurbanipal which describes how the king enlarged the courtyard of the temple Ešaḫula ("House of the Happy Heart"). In that text,  the god Nergal is referred as "the lord of Sirara" (bēl Sirara), presumably the name of the temple district of  Mê-Turnat.
