    Terqa, also known as Sirqu, is the name of an ancient city discovered at the site of Tell Ashara on the banks of the middle Euphrates in Deir ez-Zor Governorate, Syria. The site was a sizable entity even in the Early Dynastic period. In the 2nd millennium BC it was under the control of Assyrian, followed by Mari in the time of Zimri-Lim, and then by Babylon after Mari's defeat by Hammurabi.
