| //Description//: This composition, so far, is known from four manuscripts, of which three belong to the Kuyuncik collection of the Neo-Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. The text contains an autobiography written as monologue by Sargon, king of Agade. He mentions how his mother, an //en//-priestess secretly gave birth to him. Then she placed the child into a basket and put it into the river. A water-drawer named Aqqi raised the boy. Subsequently the goddess Ishtar grew fond of him and so he became king.
