    Sulamitis was discovered on 30 April 1913 by Georgian–Russian astronomers Grigory Neujmin at the Simeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula, and given the provisional designation 1913 RL.[1] It was named after the Shulamite, a beautiful woman mentioned in the book Solomon's Song of Songs of the Old Testament. The figure in possibly the Queen of Sheba in the Hebrew Bible.[2]

    Photometric observations of this asteroid collected during 2004–2005 show a rotation period of 27.367 ± 0.005 hours with a brightness variation of 0.20 ± 0.03 magnitude.[7]
