Lullaia or Lullaya, inscribed in cuneiform phonetically mlu-ul-la-a-a,[i 1][i 2] a hypocoristic name, was the 53rd king of Assyria to be added to the Assyrian King List. He was a “son of a nobody,” i.e. unrelated to a previous monarch, and reigned six years, from c. 1621–1616 BC, during a quiet and uneventful period in Assyrian history.[2] Reade speculates that he may be identified with the earlier king, Aššūr-dugul, on the basis of their similar lengths of reign and lack of royal parentage.[3]
