  === Life Sketch ===
  Mutakkil-Nusku, inscribed mmu-ta/tak-kil-dPA.KU, "he whom Nusku endows with confidence," was king of Assyria briefly c. 1132 BC, during a period of political decline. He reigned sufficiently long to be the recipient of a letter or letters from the Babylonian king, presumed to be Ninurta-nādin-šumi, in which he was lambasted and derided.
  
  He was a younger son of the long-reigning king, Aššur-dān I (c. 1179 to 1134 BC) and succeeded his brother Ninurta-tukultī-Aššur, whom he ousted in a coup and subsequently went on to fight in a civil war that seems to have pitched the Assyrian heartland against its provinces. He appears on the Khorsabad Kinglist which relates that “Mutakkil-Nusku, his (Ninurta-tukultī-Aššur’s) brother, fought against him. He drove him to Karduniaš (Babylonia).” Contemporary evidence suggests that Ninurta-tukultī-Aššur sought sanctuary in the border town of Sišil, where Mutakkil-Nusku’s forces engaged him in battle, the outcome of which is lost.
  
  The fragments of one or perhaps two Middle Assyrian letters exist, from an unnamed Babylonian king, possibly Ninurta-nādin-šumi, to Mutakkil-Nusku, where he is told that "You should act according to your heart (ki libbika).” The text lambastes him for failing to keep an appointment, or a challenge, in Zaqqa and seems to confirm that Ninurta-tukultī-Aššur had reached exile in Babylonia.
  
  His victory was short-lived as ṭuppišu Mutakkil-Nusku kussâ ukta'il KUR-a e-mid, “(he) held the throne for ṭuppišu (his tablet), then died,” perhaps his inaugural year and part way into his first year only. One interpretation suggests this was while his father still nominally ruled. Apart from a brief economic text concerning 100 sheep of Mutakkil-Nusku, without a royal title, and his appearance in the genealogies of his descendants such as one of his sons, Aššur-rēša-iši I, there are no other extant inscriptions.

  Ele era o filho mais novo do rei que reinou por muito tempo, Aššur-dān I (c. 1179 a 1134 aC) e sucedeu seu irmão Ninurta-tukultī-Aššur , a quem ele expulsou em um golpe e posteriormente lutou em uma guerra civil isso parece ter lançado o coração assírio contra suas províncias. Ele aparece na lista de reis de Khorsabad [i 1], que relata que “Mutakkil-Nusku, seu irmão (de Ninurta-tukultī-Aššur), lutou contra ele. Ele o levou para Karduniaš ( Babilônia ). ” Evidências contemporâneas sugerem que Ninurta-tukultī-Aššur buscou refúgio na cidade fronteiriça de Sišil, onde as forças de Mutakkil-Nusku o envolveram em uma batalha, cujo resultado está perdido. [1]
  
  Os fragmentos de uma ou talvez duas letras da Assíria Média existem, [i 2] de um rei babilônico sem nome, possivelmente Ninurta-nādin-šumi, para Mutakkil-Nusku, onde lhe é dito que "Você deve agir de acordo com seu coração ( ki libbika ). ” O texto o reprova por não cumprir um compromisso, ou um desafio, em Zaqqa e parece confirmar que Ninurta-tukultī-Aššur havia chegado ao exílio na Babilônia. [2]
  
  Sua vitória teve vida curta, pois ṭuppišu Mutakkil-Nusku kussâ ukta'il KUR -a e-mid "(ele) ocupou o trono de ṭuppišu (sua tabuinha), depois morreu", talvez em seu ano inaugural e a meio de seu primeiro ano apenas. [3] Uma interpretação sugere que isso aconteceu enquanto seu pai ainda governava nominalmente. [4] Além de um breve texto econômico sobre 100 ovelhas de Mutakkil-Nusku, sem um título real, e sua aparição nas genealogias de seus descendentes, como um de seus filhos, Aššur-rēša-iši I , [2] há nenhuma outra inscrição existente.
