Six inscribed paving slabs were found in a wing of Sargon II’s palace that was mistakenly identified as a harem and those in-situ texts helped identify that part of the building as the palace’s religious quarter. The temple sector of Dūr-Šarrukīn (modern Khorsabad) comprised temples dedicated to the deities Adad, Ea (Ninšiku), Ningal, Ninurta, Sîn, and Šamaš. The single-room temple of the god Ea, which was accessed from Courtyard XXVII, was identified from the eight-line Akkadian inscription (Frame, RINAP 2 online Sargon II 17) discovered in the doorway of Room 192. The ancient name of the temple is not known.
