While Ilshu-rabi was in charge of Pashime, another Governor of Manistushu named Eshpum was in charge of Elam, in the city of Susa.[4]
A relief of Ilshu-rabi is known, which was discovered in Tell Abu Sheeja, ancient Pashime. The inscription on the stele reads:
"For the God Shuda, Ilsu-rabi of Pashime, the soldier, brought in this statue. May the one who erases the name (on this inscription) not find an heir; may he not acquire a name (for himself)
The name of Ilšu-rabi as Governor of Pashime also appears in the Manishtushu Obelisk inscription, in several mentions of his son Ipulum, who is said to be:
(𒌉) 𒀭𒋢𒊏𒉈 𒑐𒋼𒋛 𒁀𒋛𒈨𒆠
(dumu) il-su-ra-bi2 ensi2 ba-si-me{ki}
"(Son of) Ilshu-rabi, Governor of Pashime"
