Šumšunu-watar

Šumšunu-watar, like his contemporary Sisunawirat, lent silver and cereals in Kish, and is recorded to have bought fields, from which it appears that his means had increased by his business. He is recorded of the tablets of Kish, considered to have been located near the modern Tell al-Uhaymir in the Babil Governorate of Iraq. Dating of the tablets is in the reign of Sumu-abum, the first king of Babylon.

Of his business activities it is recorded that he lent fairly large amounts of silver, on the security of fields. It is also recorded that he had a claim on 6 gur (cca 1.8m³) of sesame oil on Sisunawirat, to be returned after the harvest. He was prosperous in his business as was able to invest his earnings to land.
