One of the temples in the citadel of Nineveh that was dedicated to the moon-god Sîn and the sun-god Šamaš. Its Sumerian ceremonial name is not preserved in extant cuneiform sources and its exact location remains unknown. The temple is generally believed to have been east of the temples of Ištar (Emašmaš) and Nabû (Ezida) and south of the North Palace (palace of Ashurbanipal).
