Sargon I (also transcribed as Šarru-kīn I and Sharru-ken I) was the king (Išši’ak Aššur, "Steward of Assur") during the Old Assyrian period from c. 1920 BC to 1881 BC. On the Assyrian King List, Sargon appears as the son and successor of Ikunum, and the father and predecessor of Puzur-Ashur II. The name “Sargon” means “the king is legitimate” in the Akkadian language. Sargon I might have been named after Sargon of Akkad, perhaps reflecting the extent to which Sargon I identified with the prestigious Dynasty of Akkad. Sargon I is known for his work refortifying Assur. Very little is otherwise known about Sargon I. The following is a list of the 41 annually-elected limmu officials from the year of accession of Sargon I until the year of his death. Dates are based on a date of 1833 BC for the solar eclipse recorded in the limmu of Puzur-Ishtar: 1920 BC Irišum son of Iddin-Aššur 1919 BC Aššur-malik son of Agatum 1918 BC Aššur-malik son of Enania 1917 BC Ibisua son of Suen-nada 1916 BC Bazia son of Bal-Tutu 1915 BC Puzur-Ištar son of Sabasia 1914 BC Pišaḫ-Ili son of Adin 1913 BC Asqudum son of Lapiqum 1912 BC Ili-pilaḫ son of Damqum 1911 BC Qulali 1910 BC Susaya 1909 BC Amaya the Weaponer 1908 BC Ipḫurum son of Ili-ellat 1907 BC Kudanum son of Laqipum 1906 BC Ili-bani son of Ikunum 1905 BC Šu-Kubum son of Susaya 1904 BC Quqidi son of Amur-Aššur 1903 BC Abia son of Nur-Suen 1902 BC Šu-Ištar son of Šukutum 1901 BC Bazia son of Šepa-lim 1900 BC Šu-Ištar son of Ikunum, the starlike (kakkabanum) 1899 BC Abia son of Šu-Dagan 1898 BC Salia son of Šabakuranum 1897 BC Ibni-Adad son of Baqqunum 1896 BC Aḫmarši son of Malkum-išar 1895 BC Sukkalia son of Minanum 1894 BC Iddin-Aššur son of Kubidi 1893 BC Šudaya son of Ennanum 1892 BC Al-ṭab son of Pilaḫ-Aššur 1891 BC Aššur-dammiq son of Abarsisum 1890 BC Puzur-Niraḫ son of Puzur-Suen 1889 BC Amur-Aššur son of Karria 1888 BC Buzuzu son of Ibbi-Suen 1887 BC Šu-Ḫubur son of Elali 1886 BC Ilšu-rabi son of Bazia 1885 BC Alaḫum son of Inaḫ-ili 1884 BC Ṭab-Aššur son of Suḫarum 1883 BC Elali son of Ikunum 1882 BC Iddin-abum son of Narbitum 1881 BC Adad-bani son of Iddin-Aššur 1880 BC Aššur-iddin son of Šuli
