The temple of the god Šamaš, Edikukalama (“House of the Judge of the Land”), was located in the Kumar district of Babylon, in the western half of the inner city. According to the Babylonian topographical text Tintir = Babylon Tablet IV, it was one of seven temples in that part of Babylon. Edikukalama is attested in the Old Babylonian Period and it was rebuilt in the Neo-Babylonian Period by Nebuchadnezzar II (r. 604–562 BC).
