In the eponymate of king Ninurtaapil-ekur the palace steward was Šamaš-aha-iddina, see the text Ass.2001Ass. .D-2276, where his name is written d UTU-ŠEŠ-SUM-na. He also is documented in the eponymate of Adad-balti-niše (Ass.2001. D-2036), with the writing d UTU-A-PAP. A man with the name d UTU-A-PAP also occurs in KAM 11 80 from the eponymate of Uzibu. He carries no title, but we shall see below that he must be identified with the acting palace steward. Later in the reign, the palace steward was Saggiu, most likely already in his own eponymate, as was the case for the palace stewards Uṣur-namkur-šarre, Adad-riba and Adad-uma"i. This implies that the eponymate of Uzibu came before the one of Saggiu. Together with what was known before, this yields the most probable eponym sequence
