In the Old Assyrian Period, both the city and the god were commonly spelled as A-šùr. The god Ashur was spelled as d A-šur, A-šur, d A-šùr or A-šùr, and from the comparative data there seems to be a bigger general reluctance to use the divine determinative in Anatolia in comparison to data from the city of Assur itself.

All modern lists of Assyrian kings generally follow the Assyrian King List, a list kept and developed by the ancient Assyrians themselves over the course of several centuries.

The old temple dedicated to the national god of the Assyrians Assur was rebuilt, as were temples to other Assyrian gods.

A single short brick-inscription comes from his palace in Assur, [i 3] which was located between the south-west front of the ziggurat and the Anu-Adad temple.

Aššur-nērārī IV, inscribed m aš-šur-ERIM.GABA, "(the god) Aššur is my help," [1] was the king of Assyria, the 94th to appear on the Assyrian Kinglist, [i 1] [i 2] ruling 1019/18–1013 BC. His short six-year reign was marked by confusion and a dearth of contemporary inscriptions.
Ashur-dan III was a son of Adad-nirari III (r. 811–783 BC). He succeeded his brother Shalmaneser IV as king in 773 BC. [2] Shalmaneser IV's reign began an obscure period in Assyrian history from which little information survives, a period that also fully covers Ashur-dan III's reign, which has a result is very poorly known.
