When Rob117 wrote in the comment line on Nov 21, 2005 that we had "worked out" our dispute, part of the terms of the agreement were that the disputed text appear here on the discussion page, rather than in the actual article. So here is the controversial statement, open for discussion:
- "At the time of Hammurabi's successful struggle with the Elamite conquerors, it was ruled by an Elamite king Eriaku, widely held by biblical scholars to be the Arioch of the Bible. He is usually considered to be either the king called Rim-Sin by his Semitic subjects, or his brother Warad-Sin."

[edit] Loftus?
Who is de Loftus as spoken of in: "Loftus conducted excavations at this site in 1854." I cannot find any Loftus associated with archeology. Mhaesen 16:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extraneous lines
I took out the following line from the opening paragraph:
"the site of the worship of the sun-god, Shamash, represented by the ancient ruin mound of Senkereh (Senkera)."
It was in the middle of a run-on sentence which did not make much sense. Also, the relevance of the mention of the mound was unclear. I have copied it here so that its original author may add it back in a more appropriate section, hopefully with more detail.
