[The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World, Vol 2. (of 7): Assyria by George Rawlinson]@TWC D-Link bookThe Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World, Vol 2. (of 7): Assyria CHAPTER IX 52/306
He appears to have reigned from about B.C.930 to B.C.911.
He was succeeded in B.C.911 by his son Vul-lush II., who held the throne from B.C.911 to B.C.889.
Nothing is known at present of the history of these two monarchs.
No historical inscriptions belonging to their reigns have been recovered; no exploits are recorded of them in the inscriptions of later sovereigns.
They stand up before us the mere "shadows of mighty names"-- proofs of the, uncertainty of posthumous fame, which is almost as often the award of chance as the deserved recompense of superior merit. Of Tiglathi-Nin, the second monarch of the name, and the third king of the group which we are considering, one important historical notice, contained in an inscription of his son, has come down to us.
