Lullaia or Lullaya, inscribed in cuneiform phonetically mlu-ul-la-a-a,[2] [3] 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 1621–1616 BC, during a quiet and uneventful period in Assyrian history.[4] 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.[5]
He was the last in the sequence of kings omitted from the dissident Assyrian Kinglist known as KAV 14,[6] which otherwise provides the only extant sequence of Shamshi-Adad I’s later successors, Mut-Ashkur and Rimush.[7] The Synchronistic Kinglist[8] gives his Babylonian counterpart as Ayadaragalama of the Sealand Dynasty.[9] There are no extant inscriptions from Lullaia's or his predecessor's reigns in marked contrast with their Sealand contemporaries.[4]
He was succeeded by Shu-Ninua, the son of his predecessor, Bazaya, for whom he may have acted as regent until reaching his majority as there is no tradition that Lullaia was a usurper.
