Pašime, (also Bašime and Mišime) (𒁀𒋛𒈨𒆠 ba-si-meKI), was an ancient region of southern Mesopotamia. It has recently been identified with Tell Abu Sheeja, Iraq, about 7 km from Iraq's border with Iran (about 100 kilometers west of Susa). It lies about 70 kilometers southeast of modern Baghdad and 60 kilometers north of the modern city of Amarah.[1][2] Pashime corresponded to an area of interaction between Mesopotamia and Elam and was occupied from the Ubaid and Uruk periods in the 4th Millennium BC until the Old Babylonian period in the early 2nd Millennium BC. Its tutelary god was Šuda. The city is known from texts to have bordered on the ancient polity of Huhnur (possibly Tappeh Bormi).[3][4] The city of Pašime is thought to have been on the Persian Gulf which at that time extended much further north.[2][5]
