The Chronicle of Early Kings, named ABC 20 in Grayson’s Assyrian and Babylonian Chronicles[2] and CM 40 in Glassner’s Chroniques mésopotamiennes[3] is a Babylonian chronicle preserved on two tablets: tablet A[i 1] is well preserved whereas tablet B[i 2] is broken and the text is fragmentary.
The text is episodic in character, and seems to have been composed from linking together the apodoses of omen literature, excerpts of the Weidner Chronicle and kings year-names.[4] The Chronicle begins with events from the late third-millennium reign of Sargon of Akkad and ends, where the tablet is broken away, with the reign of Agum III, c. 1500 BC.
A third tablet, named Fragment B[2]: 192 or CM 41,[3] deals with related subject matter and may be a variant tradition of the same type of work.
