Pabilgagaltuku, also Pabilgeshgaltuku (𒉺𒉈𒅍𒃲𒌇, pa.bil2.ĝeš-gal-tuku)[1] was Governor (ensi) of Umma, a city-state in Sumer, circa 2450 BCE. He was captured by Ur-Nanshe of Lagash.[2] His successor was Ush, king of Umma.[3]

Pabilgagaltuku is known from an inscription of Ur-Nanshe, in which Ur-Nanshe claims that he defeated Umma and captured Pabilgagaltuku:

pabilgax (pa.bil2.ĝeš)-gal-tuku ensi2 umma(geš.kušu2)ki mu-dab5
“He seized Pabilgagaltuku, the governor of Umma.”

— Inscription of Ur-Nanshe.[1]

Pabilgagaltuku may also be mentioned in the Stele of Vultures, as having been vanquished in the past by Ur-Nanshe.[1]

  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.
