I've changed this part since the source specifies that the appointment of
Shamash-shum-ukin as Assyrian heir would be what would have had "serious consequences", not his ascending to the throne. The source does not specify what does consequences would be (revolts probably?).

Yeah, it comes from
Ashurbanipal's own later accounts (I buffed this sentence up a bit, unsure if it's good enough yet). Ashurbanipal's annals are the major sources for his reign but they're obviously biased (since they were written

Looks very good, a well-written and informative article on an important but neglected subject. Minor issues remain (see below), but otherwise this was a joy to read and review.
