Uhub Explained

Uhub
Governor of Kish
Reign:	c. 2600  BCE
Successor:	Mesilim

Uhub (sux|{{cuneiform|, u2-hub2),^[1] (c. 2600 BCE), was Ensi (Governor) of the Sumerian city-state of Kish before Mesilim^{[2] [3]}

His name is missing from the Sumerian king list, just as the name of Mesilim, who ruled about fifty years later.^[4] Uhub is mentioned on a vase dedicated to god Zababa.^{[5] [6]} The first inscription has been reconstructed as, Zamama, Uhub ensi kish-ki "Zababa, Uhub, Governor of Kish".

Uhub is otherwise known from a few more inscriptions.^[7]
