Berossus, Babyloniaca F7:
After the reign of the brother of Sennacherib and after the rule of Akises over the Babylonians, he was killed by Marudach Baldan before he ruled even thirty days. And Marudach Baldan maintained himself as tyrant for six months, and a man whose name was Belibos killed him, and he became king. And in the third year of the reign of Belibos Senecheribos, king of the Assyrians, gathered together an army against the Babylonians, faced them resolutely and defeated them. After taking Belibos and his friends prisoner, he transported them into the land of the Assyrians. He ruled over the Babylonians and established his son Asordanios as king over them. He himself returned to the land of the Assyrians.
