Erība-Marduk, inscribed mri-ba [dAMAR.UTU],[i 1] was the king of Babylon, very speculatively ca. 769 – 761 BC. He was one of three Chaldaean tribal leaders to occupy the Babylonian throne during the course of the 8th century and would be looked back as the ancestor figure during future reigns of members of this group. A member of the Bīt-Yakin tribe, who was later to be given the title "re-establisher of the foundation(s) of the land,"[i 2] he was credited with restoring stability to the country after years of turmoil.[1]
