According to the Babylonian topographical text Tintir = Babylon, nu-x-ù/nu-HAR-UD (name fragmentary and not reconstructable) was one of the four city districts of the western half of the inner city of Babylon.

The name of this city district in western Babylon is corrupt, damaged, or illegible in all extant and identified copies of Tintir = Babylon V (line 99). Because it did not have any temples, shrines, or daises, it is not mentioned in Tintir = Babylon IV. nu-x-ù/nu-HAR-UD is the westernmost city district and it appears to have been bounded on the south, west, and north by the walls Imgur-Enlil and Nēmetti-Enlil (with access in and out of the inner city by the Adad Gate and probably also the King’s Gate) and on the west by the Bāb-Lugalerra, Kumar, and Tuba districts. According to Tintir = Babylon V (line 99), the western and eastern limits of nu-x-ù/nu-HAR-UD were the Adad Gate and Akus Gate (which formed part of the former, Old Babylonian city wall).
