Les rois que l’organisation dit absents du canon de Ptolémée n’allongent pas la période qui importe. Ashur-etel-ilani et Sin-sharra-ishkun étaient reconnus en Babylonie avant que Nabopolassar n’y accède au trône en 626 av. n. è. ; les ajouter allonge donc la période antérieure à la dynastie néo-babylonienne, et non l’intervalle entre la dix-huitième année de Nabuchodonosor et la chute de Babylone. L’inscription d’Adad-guppi compte déjà séparément la troisième année d’Ashur-etel-ilani, et avant Nabopolassar. Le seul roi omis qui tombe bien à l’intérieur de la dynastie, Labashi-Marduk, est nommé par l’article lui-même, et Parker et Dubberstein datent ses première et dernière tablettes du 22 mai et du 20 juin 556 av. n. è. et concluent qu’il “seems to have been recognized as king only in May and June, 556” - des semaines, non des années.

Position de l’organisation ou explication ultérieure : 'In general, Ptolemy's canon is regarded as accurate. But in view of its omissions, should it really be used to provide a definite historical chronology?'

The Watchtower, “When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?-Part One, 'The Canon of Ptolemy'”

1 octobre 2011 · pp.30-31 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“Notice that Ptolemy lists only four kings between the Babylonian rulers Kandalanu and Nabonidus. However, the Uruk King List-a part of the cuneiform record-reveals that seven kings ruled in between. ... In general, Ptolemy's canon is regarded as accurate. But in view of its omissions, should it really be used to provide a definite historical chronology?”

The organisation's argument that Ptolemy's canon omits kings. Its examples, Sin-sharra-ishkun and Ashur-etel-ilani, belong to the Assyrian succession before Nabopolassar took the throne of Babylon in 626 BCE.

Chronicles of Chaldaean Kings (626-556 B.C.) in the British Museum, “Introduction: the fall of Assyria”

1956 · p.6 · D. J. Wiseman · The Trustees of the British Museum, London

“Kandalanu appears to have rebelled against his overlord during the period of uncertainty over the succession which followed the death of Assur-etil-ilani, the successor of Ashurbanipal.”

Wiseman places Ashur-etel-ilani, and elsewhere Sin-shar-ishkun 'the king of Assyria', in the Assyrian succession before Nabopolassar took the throne of Babylon in 626 BCE.

RIBo, Babylon 7: The Inscriptions of the Neo-Babylonian Dynasty, “Nabonidus 2001 (the Harran stele of Adad-guppi), column i line 29”

2020 · i 29 · Frauke Weiershaeuser and Jamie Novotny (edition) · Oracc / LMU Munich

“From the twentieth year of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, (during) which I was born, until the forty-second year of Ashurbanipal, the third year of Aššur-etel-ilāni, his son, the twenty-first year of Nabopolassar, the forty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar (II), the second year of Amēl-Marduk, (and) the fourth year of Neriglissar, after (these) ninety-five years”

Adad-guppi, the mother of King Nabonidus, dates her own long life by naming in order the regnal years it ran between. The count starts in the twentieth year of Ashurbanipal, in which she says she was born, and ends in the fourth year of Neriglissar, and the inscription calls that span ninety-five years: a further twenty-two years of Ashurbanipal, then three, twenty-one, forty-three, two and four. The inscription is a sixth-century BCE document from Harran, written within living memory of the reigns it counts.

Babylonian Chronology, 626 B.C. - A.D. 45 (Studies in Ancient Oriental Civilization 24), “II. Kings' Reigns: Nebuchadnezzar II and Amel-Marduk”

1942 · pp.9-10 · Richard A. Parker and Waldo H. Dubberstein · Oriental Institute, University of Chicago

“Evidence for End of Reign VI/14/43 (Sept. 25, 562), Uruk ... VI/26/43 (Oct. 7, 562), Uruk ... The first tablet dated to Amel-Marduk (see below) comes from Sippar (?) and is dated on the same day as the last tablet of Nebuchadnezzar from Uruk. Accordingly Nebuchadnezzar died during the first days of October, 562.”

The standard reference chronology establishes the length of each Neo-Babylonian reign from dated business and administrative tablets, listing for every king the last tablet of his reign and the first tablet of his successor's. At this junction the two are dated to the same day.

Notes. The same pages show Amel-Marduk’s last tablet on 7 August 560 and Neriglissar’s first on 13 August 560, a gap of six days. Page 10 also carries Labashi-Marduk: first dated tablet 22 May 556, last 20 June 556, with the conclusion that he “seems to have been recognized as king only in May and June, 556”. He is the one king the organisation says Ptolemy omitted who falls inside the Neo-Babylonian dynasty, and the standard chronology accounts for him in weeks, not years.
