Kish
Uhub was king of Kish, circa 2500 BCE.
Uhub (Sumerian: ππΈ, u2-hub2), (c. 2600 BCE), was Ensi (Governor) of the Sumerian city-state of Kish before Mesilim
His name is missing from the Sumerian king list, just as the name of Mesilim, who ruled about fifty years later. Uhub is mentioned on a vase dedicated to god Zababa. The first inscription has been reconstructed as πππ π / ππΈ / ππΌπ / π§π , Zamama, Uhub ensi kish-ki "Zababa, Uhub, Governor of Kish".
Uhub is otherwise known from a few more inscriptions.
- 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".
- "Hamazi" in the second inscription
