Uhub
Governor of Kish
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 ( 𒄩𒈠𒍣𒆠, ha-ma-zi{ki})".[1][2][3][4]
Reignc. 2600  BCE
SuccessorMesilim
Uhub was king of Kish, circa 2500 BCE.

Uhub (Sumerian: 𒌑𒄸, 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 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]
