Uhub
Governor of Kish / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uhub (Sumerian: ππΈ, u2-hub2),[5] (c. 2600 BCE), was Ensi (Governor) of the Sumerian city-state of Kish before Mesilim[6][7]
His name is missing from the Sumerian king list, just as the name of Mesilim, who ruled about fifty years later.[8][9] Uhub is mentioned onn a vase dedicated to god Zababa.[10][9] The first inscription has been reconstructed as πππ π / ππΈ / ππΌπ / π§π , Zamama, Uhub ensi kish-ki "Zababa, Uhub, Governor of Kish".[11]
Uhub is otherwise known from a few more inscriptions.[12]
- Transcription in standard Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform of the fragmentary inscription πππ π / ππΈ / ππΌπ / π§π , Zamama, Uhub ensi kish-ki "Zababa, Uhub, Governor of Kish", British Museum (BM 129401). The second fragment from the same vase mentions "Pussusu conqueror of Hamazi".[13][14][15][11]
- "Hamazi" in the second inscription
