Larsa had been taken by storm by the Elamite forces, and its native king, Sin-idinnam, driven out.
Gula was worshipped in close combination with her husband, both at Larsa and Sippara.
But Ellasar is clearly the Larsa of the cuneiform inscriptions, perhaps with the word al, "city," prefixed.
The average number of stages of the zikkurat appears to have been three, as at Nippur and Ur, or four, as at Larsa.
