Details:

A stele of the Neo-Assyrian Adad-nerari III that was used as a boundary stone was discovered there in 1905. The Akkadian inscription records that the king erected the monument in a town called Zabanni. The stele was later re-used and re-inscribed by Nergal-ēriš, one of Adad-nerari III's officials.
