Agum III[nb 1] was a Kassite king of Babylon ca. mid-15th century BC. Speculatively, he might figure around the 13th position in the dynastic sequence; however, this part of the Kingslist A[i 1] has a lacuna, shared with the Assyrian Synchronistic Kinglist.[i 2]
Agum (usually called Agum III), son of Kaštiliyåš, appears to have been one of the successors to Burna-Buriyåš I, because he is mentioned in the Chronicle of Early Kings[i 3] after Ulam-Buriyåš, who was a son of a Burna-Buriyåš.[1] Although this source does not give him a royal title, it is inconsistent in this regard and does say he called up his own army, ummānšu idkēma.[2]
