Pashime, also Bashime (𒁀𒋛𒈨𒆠 ba-si-meKI), was an ancient region of southern Mesopotamia. It has recently been identified with Tell Abu Sheeja, Iraq, about 7 km from Iraq's border with Iran.[1][2] Pashime corresponded to an area of interaction between Mesopotamia and Elam. Its patron god was Shuda.[2] The city of Pashime was previously thought to be located on the Persian Gulf.[3]
A stele was discovered in Tell Abu Sheeja with the name of a Governor Ilšu-rabi, who has the same name as Ilšu-rabi the Governor of Pashime in the Manishtushu Obelisk inscription.[4][2] The inscription on the stele reads:
"For the God Shuda, Ilsu-rabi of Pashime, the soldier, brought in this statue. May the one who erases the name (on this inscription) not find an heir; may he not acquire a name (for himself)
Inscribed door-socket from the Temple of Šuda at Tell Abu Sheeja, Iraq. Ur III period, 21 century BCE. Iraq Museum.[2]
