Old Babylonian blessing (or greeting) directed at a man or boy (for grammatical reasons: Akkadian distinguishes male and female pronouns for "you". You can find a female version here .) Phrases such as these were used in letter openings to greet the recipient (like a modern “I hope you’re well”). The Babylonian-Akkadian text reads: ilū aššumija dāriš ūmim liballiṭūka, „May the Gods forever keep you well because of me“.

The ancient sources give some clues as to who lived in the Mesopotamian marshland and what the landscape looked like in the first millennium. Two terms are used in the written sources to refer to the marshland in southern Babylonia: agammu “marsh, swamp” and appāru “reed marsh, canebrake”. The Sealand was inhabited by Chaldeans and Aramaeans. Šūzubu (Mušēzib-Marduk), the Chaldean leader of Bīt-Dakkūri, is referred to in Sennacherib’s inscriptions as “a Chaldean who lives among the marshes (agammu)” and Bīt-Jakīn is described as the land “which is in the marshes (agammu) and canebrakes (appāru)”. Concerning Bēl-iqīša, the leader of the mighty Aramaean tribe of Gambūlu, Esarhaddon says that his residence “is located twelve leagues distance...
