Enentarzi was governor of Lagash, circa 2400 BC.

Enentarzi (𒂗𒇷𒋻𒍣, en-en₃-tar-zid,[2] also 𒂗𒂊𒋻𒍣, en-e-tar-zi[3] was Ensi (governor) of Lagash.[4][5] He was originally a chief-priest of Lagash for the god Ningirsu.[5][6]

He succeed Enannatum II who only had a short reign and was the last representative of the house of Ur-Nanshe.[7][8] It seems that the power of Lagash waned at this point, and that other territories such as Umma ("Gishban") and Kish prevailed.[9]

Enentarzi probably ruled for at least 4 years.[6]

An inscription records that 600 Elamites came to plunder Lagash during the rule of Enentarzi, but that they were repelled.[10]

He was succeeded by another priest named Enlitarzi, and then his son Lugalanda.[6]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
