description: "Sîn-lēqi-unninni (Akkadian: 𒁹𒀭𒌍𒋾𒀀𒅆 md30-TI-ER2) was a mašmaššu who lived in Mesopotamia, probably in the period between 1300 BC and 1000 BC. He is traditionally thought to have compiled the best-preserved version of the Epic of Gilgamesh. His name is listed in the text itself, which was unorthodox for works written in cuneiform. His version is known by its incipit, or first line \"ša nagba īmuru\" (\"He who saw the deep\" or \"The one who saw the Abyss\"). The extent to which his version is different from earlier texts is unknown; Andrew R. George argues that Sîn-lēqi-unninni \"gave [The Epic of Gilgamesh] its final, fixed form\". Tigay acknowledges that Sîn-lēqi-unninni shifted \"Gilgamesh's greatness from deeds to the acquisition of knowledge\". At time it was also known as \"Gilgamesh series\" (iškar Gilgāmeš)."
