Bad-tibira, city-state of
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, is 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 and Berossus.
This may reflect another version of the city's name, Patibira, "Canal of the Smiths".
