LKA 16 (Babylonian Hymn to Nabû):
Which (other) [cr]eator of all inhabited places should I name, of all parts of the world?

Nabonidus Stele at Harran:
(Sin is) Enlil of the gods, king of kings, lord of lords.

Aeschylus, Supplices 524-526, 590-591:
Lord of lords, most blessed of the blessed ones and most powerful of powers, felicitous Zeus. … Which of the gods could I with reason invoke for deeds with a more righteous claim?
