Quoted text:
As Raglan[1] pointed out in The Temple and the House (1964: pp. 159–162), Sargon of Akkad c. 2340 BC and his grandson Naram-Sin called themselves Ruler of the Four Quarters, as did the Ur III ruler Shulgi three centuries later. The term was applied to the Sumerian sky-gods Enlil and Anu, and to Babylonian Shamash.

Also, per this query, originally it was written that “NarumSin” (rather than Naram-Sin) was Sargon of Akkad’s son, rather than grandson; can you verify spelling, hyphen, and point of fact for us?
