# Year names record war with Elam as a completed force heading

Date: 1764

## The fact

A Hammurabi year-name records war with Elam as a completed royal victory heading. The dated Elam war is not the Larsa conquest and not the end of Mari. [Hammurabi](/people/hammurabi)’s documented role is: A year-name commemorates smiting Elam. Scribes dated tablets; he waged; later ORACC is not the year-name. Do not twin this with Larsa 1763 or Eshnunna. Elam is a different opponent. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Hammurabi's documented role is: A year-name commemorates smiting Elam. Scribes dated tablets; he waged; later ORACC is not the year-name.

## Context

An Elamite coalition, unnamed troops, and later tablet dates already sit in the file. A year-name is not a staff diary. Later ORACC is access. Named others on the file: Unnamed Babylonian troops, Elamite opponents, and later scribes of year-lists share the heading. The public setting is the file around -1764-01-01. Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. The instrument stays Year names record war with Elam as a completed force heading. The setting of Year names record war with Elam as a completed force heading is the public file around -1764-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [humanitarian-access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

## Evidence and sources

ORACC year names and Britannica independently mark an Elam war as distinct from Larsa and Mari. Official: ORACC — Hammurabi year names, Elam (https://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/; Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus). Independent: Britannica — Hammurabi, wars with Elam (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Hammurabi; Encyclopaedia Britannica). The two URLs are different pages. Where the carrier is a later edition or a received narrative, that limit is stated rather than upgraded to an autograph. Official carrier: ORACC — Hammurabi year names, Elam (https://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/; Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus). Independent carrier: Britannica — Hammurabi, wars with Elam (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Hammurabi; Encyclopaedia Britannica).
