Bad-tibira, "Wall of the Copper Worker(s)", or "Fortress of the Smiths", identified as modern
Tell al-Madineh, between
Ash Shatrah and Tell as-Senkereh (ancient
Larsa) in southern
Iraq, was an ancient
Sumerian city, which appears among antediluvian cities in the
Sumerian King List. Its Akkadian name was
Dûr-gurgurri. It was also called (
Pantibiblos) by Greek authors such as
Abydenus,
Apollodorus of Athens and
Berossus. This may reflect another version of the city's name,
Patibira, "Canal of the Smiths".
