According to a text that might have been drawn up as an aide-memoire for Nebuchadnezzar II, the Babylonian king who completed the outer eastern wall of Babylon, the Madānu Canal Gate is the second of the five gates. The “City Walls of Babylon C” text records that there were twenty-six towers between it and the Šuhi Canal Gate (to the north) and twenty-nine between it and the Giššu Gate (to the south).
