An ancient place name believed to have been located southeast of Mesopotamia. It is also called Tilmun. It is frequently mentioned in Sumerian-Akkadian inscriptions over a period of about 1800 years, from the crude Sumerian inscription of Urnanshe, king of Lagash, around 2520 BCE, to the Assyrian inscription of Sargon II, around 710 BCE. It appears to have been a stopover (watering point) for ships traveling between the head of the Persian Gulf and the Indus River region in the earliest period, but the Urnanshe record above mentions it as a supplier of timber.

メソポタミアから見て南東の方向にあったとされる古地名。ティルムンTilmunともいう。前2520年ころのラガシュの王ウルナンシェの古拙シュメール語刻文から,前710年ころのサルゴン2世のアッシリア語刻文に至るほぼ1800年間に,シュメール・アッカド語刻文でしばしば言及されている。それは最古の時期にペルシア湾頭とインダス川地方の間を往復する船の中継地点(給水地)であったらしいが,上述のウルナンシェの記録では木材の供給地となっている。
