Papsukkal

Papsukkal was a messenger god in the Akkadian pantheon. He is known chiefly from late sources from the Seleudic period. His wife was Amasagnudi,[1][2] and he acted as both messenger and gatekeeper for the rest of the pantheon. A sanctuary, the E-akkil is identified from the Mesopotamian site of Mkish.

Papsukkal was syncretized with Ninshubur, the sukkal of the goddess Inanna.

Papsukkal was the regent of the tenth month in the Babylonian calendar.
