Serua-eterat

thumb|Šērūʾa-ēṭirat's letter to her younger brother Ashurbanipal's wife [[Libbāli-šarrat, in which she reprimands her for not doing her homework]] Šērūʾa-ēṭirat ( or , meaning "Šerua is the one who saves"), called Saritrah (Demotic: x38pxx38pxx38pxx38pxx38pxx38pxx38pxx38px, ) in later Aramaic texts), was an ancient Assyrian princess of the Sargonid dynasty, the eldest daughter of Esarhaddon and the older sister of his son and successor Ashurbanipal. She is the only one of Esarhaddon's daughters to be known by name and inscriptions listing the royal children suggest that she outranked several of her brothers, such as her younger brother Aššur-mukin-paleʾa, but ranked below the crown princes Ashurbanipal and Shamash-shum-ukin. Her importance could be explained by her possibly being the oldest of all Esarhaddon's children.

Šērūʾa-ēṭirat lived into Ashurbanipal's reign, although her eventual fate is unknown; she may have married the Scythian king Bartatua and have become the mother of his successor Madyes; a later Aramaic story has her play a central role in attempting to broker peace between Ashurbanipal and Shamash-shum-ukin on the eve of their civil war in 652 BCE and disappearing after Ashurbanipal kills his brother.
