[open this in a window of its own for ease of use] Here's one of the Courville tables, with the ditto marks removed and the actual entry included (so I could keep track of what I was doing). Please note therefore that some of the Assyrian kings (as well as Ulamburiash) are listed on more than one line:

Some scholars do not include Gandush as Kassite and regard Agum I as the first king. An ellipsis indicates omissions or unreadable portions. When the unreadable parts can be assumed with certainty, these are not shown.
[Date columns added by 'civ from other tables and sources, are based on reign lengths and terminal date. The I.V. dates are somewhat more recent, e.g. Burnaburiash (II) 1359-1333.]
I typed this up in response to a thread over in the A/C History forum on About.com.See my webbed version of Roux' Kassite Periodand note that to make the chronology work, Roux stretched some reigns (while dropping others) in order to try to make the Kassite dynasty fit in his version of the conventional timeline.First posted here Monday, January 7, 2002.
