Abstract
Cuneiform texts from Terqa reveal a ruler named Zimri-Lim who ruled the Middle Euphrates in the period following the defeat of his famous namesake, the last king of Mari. These documents give us the names of his father and predecessor, as well as his son and successor. Beyond the perhaps memorial aspect of the choice of Zimri-Lim's name, they give us some information about the society and culture of the Middle Euphrates after the destruction of Mari, in the latter part of the Paleo-Babylonian period.
