“As already attested in Old Babylonian sources, Mammitum's spouse was Nergal. Wilfred G. Lambert noted that pairing them with each other was standard in this period, but from the Kassite period onward Mamitu came to be replaced by Laṣ. The god list An = Anum mentions both of them and equates them with each other.”
