The fact remains that the largest proportion of texts recovered are from Assyria, especially from the shattered remains of Assurbanipal's library at Nineveh, but also from the old Assyrian capital at Assur, principally excavated by German expeditions in the twentieth century. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that the written medical traditions continued in Babylonia after the fall of Assyria as is
evidenced particularly by finds in the far southern city of Uruk and in tablets from the Babylon-Sippar area now in the British Museum (many unpublished).
In 825 CE, the Nestorian monks Mar Abo and Mar Proth arrived in Kollam on the invitation of the ruler of the Venad-a feudatory under the Chera kingdom.[6] The two monks received a Royal sanction called "Tarsish-a-palli" near "Korukenikollam" from Chera ruler Rajashekara varman Ayyanadikal Thiruvadikal, as described on the Tharisapalli plates. The two monks were instrumental in founding Christian churches with Syrian lytergy in the Malabar coast area distinct from ancient hinduism. Mar Abo lived his last years at Thevalakkara, and his remains were buried there in the Martha Mariam Orthodox Church. The Tharisapalli plates are signed by the Nestorian monks in Hebrew, Pahlavi and Kufic languages indicating that the Treaty were withJews, Persians and Nambuthiri Christian Brahmins.special privileges were given for Ezhavas in the Tarisa palli sasanam.
Kollam sea port was founded by Mar Abo at Thangasseri in 825 AD instead of re opening the inland sea port(kore-ke-ni kollam) near Backare (Thevalakara) also known as Nelcynda and Tyndis to the Romans and The Greeks and Thondi to the Taamils and is also the foundation of the new city,
It is also believed that Mar Abo volunteered to the chera king to create a new sea port town near at kollam instead of his request for renewing the Almost vanishing Tyndis or Nelcynda inland sea port(kore-ke-ni) at kollam,lying idle without trade for a few centuries because of the cheras being over run by pallavas in the 6th century AD ending the spice trade from Malabar coast.
