14. More addition
No preserved text directly connects 668 BC or any year of Assurbanipal's reign to an entry in the Eponym List. However, a double-dated document from the reign of his father Esarhaddon indicates Assurbanipal gained the throne in 669/68 BC.
The reasoning goes like this: A double-dated document equates Esarhaddon 5 to the year of eponym Banba. The Eponym List slots Banba's eponymy into 676 BC (assuming 763 BC was Bur-Saggile's year.) Lastly, several sources affirm Esarhaddon ruled for 12 years, and hence the rule of Assyria passed from Esarhaddon to his son Assurbanipal in 669 BC [676+5-12].
16. Dating a king
A series of planetary observations fix the date of the 7th-century Babylonian king Kandalanu. The text logs the first and last visibilities of Saturn from Kandalanu Year 1 to Kandalanu Year 14 - enough information to establish that his reign began in 647 BC.
Though the Eponym List terminates 2 years before Kandalanu takes office, his dates are important for organizing the chronology of the warring brothers Assurbanipal and Shamash-shuma-ukin. The Saturn data furnishes the exact year 647 BC in which Assurbanipal crushed his brother's revolt and replaced him with Kandalanu on the throne of Babylon.
