Vase fragments of Uhub. The top one has the fragmentary inscription Zababa Uhub Ensi Kish-ki ("God Zababa, Uhub Governor of Kish", in the British Museum (BM 129401). The second fragment, from a different vase, mentions "Pussusu conqueror of Hamazi ( π©π π£π , ha-ma-zi{ki})". | |
Reign | c. 2600 BCE |
Successor | 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 onn 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.
