No preserved text directly connects 668 BC or any year of Assurbanipal's reign to an entry in the Eponym List. However, a double-dated document from the reign of his father Esarhaddon indicates Assurbanipal gained the throne in 669/68 BC.

The reasoning goes like this: A double-dated document equates Esarhaddon 5 to the year of eponym Banba. The Eponym List slots Banba's eponymy into 676 BC (assuming 763 BC was Bur-Saggile's year.) Lastly, several sources affirm Esarhaddon ruled for 12 years, and hence the rule of Assyria passed from Esarhaddon to his son Assurbanipal in 669 BC [676+5-12].
