Sin-liqe-unninni was a professional exorcist who lived in Babylonia between 1300 BC and 1000 BC. He is the author of the best preseved version of the Epic of Gilgamesh, making him the earliest author known by name. His name is listed in the text itself, which is unsual for ancient works. His version is known by its incipit, or first line, "He who saw the deep." It remains unknown how significant is the difference between his version and the texts he was working with.
