Thanks for the reminder that the form Urusalima occurs in the Amarna
letters. That is of course (by any chronology) older than both the
form yrw$lym in DSS and the form Shalem in the inscription which Rohl
mentions. There is of course no contradiction between Urusalima and
Shalem, for S and Sh were often interchanged between languages and
names are commonly abbreviated in Egyptian.

Dear Peter,

.. It was to decide that Jerusalem was probably some name that Kitchen
thought it was notwithstanding the fact that the Egyptian chancelry knew
the city in the Amarna letters as Urusalima.
