The Chronicle Concering the Digging of the Euphrates is a historiographical text from ancient Babylonia. It describes the digging out of the Euphrates in 94 BCE, and, therefore, belongs to the reign of the Parthian king Mithradates II. For a very brief introduction to the literary genre of chronicles, go here.

Although the wording is not exactly identical (the diary mentions the digging out of a canal above Seleucia on the Euphrates, the chronicle mentions the Euphrates itself), the coincidence that both documents have the phrase: a-na he-ru-ú ul-te-ru-ú (c.q. ul-te-er), “they began to dig out” is striking. And as one can only begin once, the chronicle must refer to July 94 BC if the same event is at issue.

Modern names for the Euphrates may have been derived by popular etymology from the Sumerian and Akkadian names, respectively Buranun and Pu-rat-tu. The former appears in an inscription from the 22nd century BCE

The vast deltaic plain of the Euphrates, Tigris and Karun rivers is located at the northern end of the Persian Gulf, in extreme eastern Iraq and southwestern Iran. This alluvial basin drains a large area of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and the western Zagros Mountains of Iran, and the basin is covered in recent (Pleistocene and Holocene) alluvial sediments.
