A relief of Ilshu-rabi is known, which was discovered in Tell Abu Sheeja, ancient Pashime. The inscription on the stele reads:

"For the God Shuda, Ilsu-rabi of Pashime, the soldier, brought in this statue. May the one who erases the name (on this inscription) not find an heir; may he not acquire a name (for himself)

gollark: A subset of bees who talk about "respect".
gollark: Since they take the reasonable claim of "you should treat people fairly nicely unless they cause you not to" and magically equivocate it into something like "show deference towards other people" or "be nice to those who are bees towards you tod".
gollark: Which is basically the equivocation thing.
gollark: People just aggressively equivocate it to win arguments.
gollark: I actually think respect is a terrible concept.
