Maciej M. Münnich argues that the theonym Rushpan should be identified as a form of Resheph's name used in the Middle [[Euphrates]] area.{{sfn|Münnich|2013|p=76}} A pre-[[Akkadian Empire|Sargonic]] tablet from [[Mari, Syria|Mari]] mentions the offering of cereal to various deities, including ''<sup>d</sup>Ra-sa-pá-an''.{{sfn|Münnich|2013|p=73}} A [[É (temple)|temple]] dedicated to him is mentioned in Mariote texts from the reigns of [[Shamshi-Adad I]] and [[Yahdun-Lim]].{{sfn|Münnich|2013|pp=73-74}} {{ill|Manfred Krebernik|de}} accepts that the names were likely [[cognates]], but does not consider it certain that the two were identical, pointing out a long tradition of using the logogram <sup>d</sup>GU<sub>4</sub> (“bull”) to represent the name Rushpan, as attested in [[lexical lists]] and the god list ''[[An = Anum]]'' (tablet VI, line 206).{{sfn|Krebernik|2008|p=470}}
