Quick Facts Uhub, Reign ...
Uhub was king of Kish, circa 2500 BCE.

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 𒀭𒍝𒈠𒈠 / 𒌑𒄸 / 𒑐𒋼𒋛 / 𒆧𒆠, 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 𒀭𒍝𒈠𒈠 / 𒌑𒄸 / 𒑐𒋼𒋛 / 𒆧𒆠, 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
