Editing Resheph (section)

===Other third millennium BCE attestations===
Sporadic instances of Resheph appearing as a [[Theophoric name|theophoric]] element in [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]] personal names have been identified, with one example being Iṣī-Raśap.{{sfn|Streck|2008|p=252}} As pointed out by Maciej M. Münnich, while found in a text from [[Susa]] in [[Elam]], this name most likely belonged to a person hailing from a part of Syria conquered by [[Sargon of Akkad]], rather than to a local inhabitant.{{sfn|Münnich|2013|p=69}} It is therefore not possible to speak of an active cult of Resheph in this area.{{sfn|Münnich|2013|p=262}} A single theophoric name invoking Resheph, Rašap-ilī, has also been identified in an [[Old Assyrian period|Old Assyrian]] text, and it is presumed he was the family deity of its bearer.{{sfn|Veenhof|2018|p=62}} However, Resheph is not otherwise attested in this role in known Old Assyrian sources and Rašap-ilī might have not been an [[Assyrian people|Assyrian]] himself, as he is only mentioned a document describing business deals in Talhat, a city in [[Upper Mesopotamia]].{{sfn|Veenhof|2018|pp=62-63}} Klaas R. Veenhof in his discussion of this isolated attestation notes Resheph's well attested prominence in northern Syria.{{sfn|Veenhof|2018|p=63}}
