In Tintir = Babylon Tablet IV (line 101), “the navel of the bow of the temple of the goddess Bēlet-Ninūa” is the western limit of the Bāb-Lugalerra district. A text recording measurements of Babylon’s city walls Imgur-Enlil and Nēmetti-Enlil, mentions this temple in connection with the walls and, therefore, Egišhurankia must have been located near Babylon’s inner city walls.
