Wikipedia Overview
Apiak/Api'ak, sited between Kish and Marad to the south. It was active from the late 3rd millennium Akkadian Empire period, through the Ur III period, and Isin-Larsa period before disappearing from history. It is known to have lain, as did Kiritab to the north, on the Abgal Canal which branched off from the Euphrates river south of Kish. After passing Apiak the Abgal Canal continued south to Marad. This territory was controlled for a time by the Manana Dynasty with two year names of ruler Halium mentioning the Abgal. A year name of Marad ruler
Sumu-ditan also mentions the Abgal. The "Canal of Me-en-ili" is known
to have bordered the Apiak province on the east in Ur III times.
A location at the modern town of Fallujah has been suggested. It was speculated at one point, based on a thousand year later Neo-Babylonian text, that the city of Apak was the same city as Apiak and that it was in the vicinity of Babylon. Apak was also mentioned in an annal of Neo-Assyrian ruler Sennacherib.
